| 17th September 2008 Pamela | Loved reading about my mate Nora - From: North Sumatra: from Medan to Lake Toba Isn't Nora a character? I always stay at her homestay either in the village or at the new place Rain Forest up the pathway by the river. She kidnapped my mobile phone when I was there and put a photo of herself up as wall paper- still there after 6 months- reminds me of all the good times in Bukit Lawang one of my favourite places in Indonesia. Pamlea. |
| 11th September 2008 wheres kevin | Khunjerab Pass - From: Misadventures of Trekking in the Northern Areas: Part III & IV Indeed, I made a mistake, was writing these blogs months after the pics were taken and after I'd given away my guidebooks. The image was taken in Khunjerab National Park, at Khunjerab Pass. then again - it could be the Canadian Rockies! |

| 4th September 2008 Tiago | Karakoram Pass - From: Misadventures of Trekking in the Northern Areas: Part III & IV Are you really sure the photo you mention as "Karakoram Pass" is really of this site? Remember that this pass is a restricted military area, from both sides, India and China! |

| 30th March 2008 Leslie | tender - From: Winter in the City of Eternal Spring I love your love stories. |
| 23rd March 2008 Leslie | spicy - From: For Urination Only Yes. I definitely like your more spicy blogs. Keep it up! |
| 24th February 2008 Aries and Rinka | - From: The early days in Japan I really enjoyed your blog and your drawings are great. I moved to Japan 7 months ago from the US with my family. I love Japan but have to agree with what you said, citizens from the wealthiest nations are the loneliest people, and the Japanese take that a notch higher. |
| 12th February 2008 leslie | happy belated birthday! - From: West Sichuan, the 'province' of Kham Sorry I missed your birthday. You must be another Libran! Me too! Anyway, hope it was a happy one. |
| 13th January 2008 Laurie Rands | - From: Tibet is on holiday Kevin, what a site, and what an adventure. Your Mum sent me the blog address, and I am in wonder with your write-ups, so full of colour and excitement. I will certainly be visiting your site again, to see what your next adventure brings forth. Your third cousin, In New Zealand Laurie Rands |
| 10th December 2007 Leslie | September 11 - From: They paved the Silk Route and put up a parking lot In the middle of the Taklamakan Desert we were informed that the Twin Towers had been destroyed. (You missed an incredible trip, by the way, by not going through the Desert. Amazing place. Unearthly. It even inspired me to write poetry!!!) I was caught up along the Kyrghiz/Tajik/Pakistani borders for 10 days afterwards with several of the Uyghurs, the Kyrghiz and Pakistanis demonstrating FOR Bin Laden and the Yanks threatening to bomb him to kingdom come. I was pretty worried about the Yanks. They miss a lot. Khotan was a fascinating place too. Whilst bargaining for a fabulously rich-coloured rug in the covered market there, a HUGE crowd of men gathered. A Uyghur guy who could speak a bit of English told me that he had never seen anyone bargain down to such a cheap price. Things are expensive for foreigners in China. However, everyone was friendly, especially in western China but I think I also had the advantage of gob-smacking shock value. They'd never seen such an apparition before! Also I got lots of great shots of both men and women. They were very happy to have their pictures taken. (Maybe because I was a woman???) It was a fascinating trip. |
| 8th December 2007 Maz | My Vicarious Hero - From: They paved the Silk Route and put up a parking lot Hey Kevers, Do you know when writing the comment title I had to look up the spelling of the word hero. I, at first, spelt it the Japanese boy's name's way, HiRo. I've never replied to anyones travel blog (or any kind of blog) so I don't know if I only have only this tiny little display window, like those fucking answering machines that go beep 'hi kev, yeah,so this is maz and well, yeah....BEEP. and I don't even know if this message I'm writing is for Kevin or...... BEEP. or the other people who think kevin is... BEEP. Anyway, the little window keeps moving down so I think I can write forever and ever, amen. For Kevin You write eloquently and travel intelligently. Gotta go, I have to deliver a jacket to a man who has no shoes. In summary, Kevin, you're great. I travel vicariously through BEEEEEEEEEEEEEp. |
| 25th November 2007 Stephen Paul | Super Fantastic Ultra Awesome Blog Post - From: Misadventures of Trekking in the Northern Areas: Part III & IV wow! Every photo is a winner. You capture both the people and the landscapes with your photographs, and your writing is great too. Great work! |

| 1st November 2007 MikeandNancy | Envious at Home - From: Misadventures of Trekking in the Northern Areas: Part III & IV Your writings and photos are wonderful Kevin. Thanks very much. |
| 28th October 2007 Stanley | Thanks - From: The Problem with Porters, Parts I & II Just wanted to say thanks for sharing all these fascinating adventures. |
| 21st October 2007 Linda | I can't believe you are actually over there. - From: The Valley of Old Storytellers Great blog, Kevin. At times I worry for you and at other times I marvel at your spirit. Stay safe and keep the stories coming. |
| 21st October 2007 Linda | Loved the photos. - From: The Hindu Kush from the Passenger Seat Well done, Kevin. This country you have just passed through looks beautiful, no wonder you wanted to hike here. |
| 21st October 2007 Linda | What a holiday you are having, Kevin. - From: The Problem with Porters, Parts I & II I am so impressed with your blog, Kevin. It is so detailed. How do you remember everything, then write it with so much color. I am wondering if you were ever scared in in Pakistan? Many of the situations you wrote about could have taken of in the wrong direction, but they didn't, and thank goodness for that. I know I certainly would be out of my comfort zone in Pakistan. You truely have an adventurous spirit, Kevin. We have printed the latest blog and I have read it twice. Next time I will do it with a map in hand. Wishing you a continued safe holiday. Keep up the blog, for we love it. M&D |
| 20th October 2007 Catherine | - From: The Problem with Porters, Parts I & II Kevin - you have got to get your work published! You amaze me. The photos look so professional! |
| 19th October 2007 Stacey and Mike | Wow! - From: The Problem with Porters, Parts I & II Kevin, beautiful photos, WOW! You are such an adventurer, here we are with tickets to the Canucks game tonight!!! Ah, such contrasting lives we take as a step off from Hiro-ville. How long is your adventure, are you back to Japan or coming home to Van? We are awaiting your arrival! Safe journeys and keep in touch! stace xo |
| 18th October 2007 scott | good entry - From: The Hindu Kush from the Passenger Seat nice entry kevin, i enjoyed reading this one a lot. it sounds like despite running into the odd foreigner, you are really in an area very remote and somewhat cut off from the rest of the world...but i'm sure that is exactly where you want to be. How much longer do you figure you travels/money will last before you head back to Canada? take care! |
| 18th September 2007 scott | sounds amazing - From: Unlikely Tours in the Peshawar Plain I think you've outdone yourself on this trip, you really are taking off into the unknown and throwing yourself head first into the backpacking across the world mentality! |
| 8th September 2007 Leslie | painting - From: Irritable Bowl Syndrome Kevin: you paint a wonderful picture in words. |
| 21st August 2007 mom | Keep the photos and journals coming. - From: Pindi & Baddy The photos and journal are great. I am so glad you are able to keep this up. I look forward to the next episode. Keep healthy and safe! Love, Mom p.s. you are now an uncle to beautiful little baby girl, Ayla. |
| 18th August 2007 Stanley | Moving on - From: Sayonara I guess I missed this particular entry. Sent you a postcard to your Japanese address a couple days ago. But perhaps I can tell you about Whistler in person!! I'm sure you're moving on to all new and wonderful adventures. |
| 18th August 2007 Leslie | Lahore - aptly named! - From: Pindi & Baddy I remember thinking that it was some kind of tourist trick. A big fat Pakistani man lurching along the street with a spear stuck through his stomach. We dodged the spear shaft. |
| 30th July 2007 Jen Jen | Heading home... - From: Sayonara Kevin, reading your blog made me cry. That's exactly the way I felt when I left Japan. It's all so bitter sweet. Exciting to be moving on to the next chapter of life, but sad to say goodbye to this one. I'm feeling very nostalgic right now and missing Japan a little. We had some good times, didn't we? I miss you. Give me a call when you get back to Canada. Seattle is not so far away. I love you buddy. |
| 28th July 2007 Vicki | - From: Tokyo Revisited part III Actually the story of Minamoto Yoritomo, and his younger brother Yoshitsune, is my favourite part of Japanese history! |
| 28th July 2007 Vicki | - From: Sayonara Loved the blog and the photos. Looked like you had a brilliant time and reminded me of my own time in Japan. Best of luck with your future adventures! |
| 26th July 2007 Malia | - From: Sayonara You are amazing Kevin! Best of luck to you and please keep in touch! |
| 25th July 2007 Mom | What a great send off you had! - From: Sayonara Loved the message about leaving Japan. I had forgotton so much of Japan but with your journal and photos I am reminded of the sights, sounds and smells of this country..thank you, Kevin. |
| 25th July 2007 Catherine | Corn on Pizza - From: Sayonara My Brillant Boy Brother. You are like corn on pizza. Fun, a good idea but rarely encountered. I wish you well. Your writing brings tears to my eyes. I love you! |
| 25th July 2007 David | fareaway so close... - From: Sayonara I'm a bit a sad, it's strange and wonderful to see this blog first thing in the morning today....i guess the next chapter is yet to be written... |
| 18th May 2007 Martin | Tokyo is the best - From: Tokyo Revisited part I Great post, Kevin. Nancy and I went to Tokyo on our wedding anniversary last year, so I can picture all the places you mentioned. You experienced a side of Tokyo that we don't know though, like the trendy clubs and meeting the vibrant people who live there. Tokyo is so vast, with so many layers that you can have almost any type of life there. I could easily picture myself living there if I could find a decent job. Shibuya especially has a cool vibe. Have fun. |
| 28th April 2007 Martin Roemer | Wedding bells - From: My Sister's Wedding, White Rock Kevin, you sister looked absolutely stunning. The wedding sounds like it was a lot of fun, despite the rain. Oh and I love the doughnut tree for a wedding cake. Classic! I hope she and Stephen have a beautiful marriage ahead. |
| 6th April 2007 dave | - From: Camping in Zeeland wonderful. wonderful stuff. i've read them backwards and forwards....gotten misty-eyed at times, admired your bravery at others....i suspect i will always enjoy your work. |
| 5th April 2007 Leslie | more sex please! - From: five months of Summer Thanks for your wonderful impressions and pictures. However, the blogs I enjoy most include sex! I'm sometimes told I have a one-track mind. Of course, that's not true!!! ;-) |
| 3rd April 2007 Scott | You are OLD!! - From: five months of Summer did they have cell phones yet back in 2004????lol love the blogs, keep em coming |
| 27th March 2007 anonymous | - From: The early days in Japan Hi there, Kevin. I enjoyed reading this as it brought back lots of memories of being in Japan, JET and all the cool people we met there. I must say that I love your drawings as much as your photos - wonderful stuff. Hope you are keeping well. ~Martin |
| 26th March 2007 df | so nice - From: Golden Week wow. thank you for sharing this. I love what you've done and what you're doing. David |
| 16th March 2007 anonymous | - From: My first unxmas Xmas Oh Kevin, I so knew that you would fancy Kim haha hes cute!! |
| 15th March 2007 Martin | Fantastic. - From: trekking in Shan State I love the way you write. It has so many layers, like a painting that is gradually built up. It is also very readable. I think you could make a fine career as a travel writer. |
| 15th March 2007 Martin | Hi Kevin! - From: My first unxmas Xmas Great post. Your pictures as always are stunning. When are you going to do a look back on Japan? It will probably be difficult to sift through all your material and thoughts you have on that. Looking forward to reading more about your travels, wherever they might be. All the best. |
| 14th March 2007 Leslie | Come & Squeeze My Juicy Melons - From: My first unxmas Xmas As always, wonderful story and pictures. The photo "melons, Can Tho" is particularly stunning and reminds me of my painting, "Come & Squeeze My Juicy Melons" though it also has a nude in it. Not to mention firm fat zucchinis and cherries which are rarely come across! Oh, and some pretty fishy stuff. Love, Leslie xxx |
| 12th March 2007 Leslie | yum - From: Winter in Hiroshima Fabulous Xmas lights. Love from "Anty". |
