Delhi Belly Anyone Great to hear you are still having fun. Can't wait for your first tale of Delhi Belly (you think it won't happen to you........). Keep well, travel safe, thinking of you both. Cheers and beers, Your Yobbo Mates.
Sensory-overload it is! Yes, over-stimulation is an accurate way to describe the India experience! It will not change...and that's what makes it most memorable. I expect you will love Rajasthan as much as I did. Watch out for ornery camels!
Glorious rain? You Vancouver people...I'll never understand the affinity for rain. The pics are amazing this time. Nick's scorpion expression is priceless. Sarah, you look great by the way, I was half expecting you two to look like deranged cavepeople by now, but even Nick has managed to keep the scruff to a minimum. Have fun in India, take lots of pics, and Sarah, buy lots of jewelry, my Indian friends all say it's cheap there!
Love, Windsor (yes, the whole city)
Another Land Mass to Explore Hi Guys, Still enjoying your entertaining blogs. You must have so many incredible pics by now. It's confirmed my Dad arrives in Cape Town next month. So we'll have to start looking at dates for when you think you'll be in SA. I'll email you with more details. Can't wait to see you! Have a great time in India. xo
Minefields and Scorpions Sounds like the fun continues, still envious, glad to hear Sarah's better and I'll bet that was Bumrungrad Hospital! Take care, thinking of you, keep the blogs coming, love Jen and Muzz
still working....and loving it! hey guys, been awhile since I've read your blog here, you guys were still in Australia last I saw. Got a great laugh out of all your stories and comments. Wish I was still in class so I could bring some of these excellent marketing examples in. Steve! whatever...and what's up with the food descriptions. anyways, wasn't impressed with the snide comment towards government employees. We work hard in between our coffee breaks! we're still all working so far, although the union is converging upon us and we'll all be joining soon enough. Can't wait! (sarcasm) It was a sad day today as Monica has moved down the hall into a snazy full time no contract job. Also Marsha has also left us to travel and snow board. what's with you people, leaving us here with all the work! apart from that all is well here. look like you're having an awsome time. Happy 25998!
Where do I start? Let me see, ...... Westerners on push bikes in Asia - Mad; Monks in Saffron robes - Cool as; Bus trips in SE Asia - Always enlightning yet bizaar; Cambodian prisons - Scary as hell; Cambodian temples - fascinating; Road rules in Asia - you've got to be f***ing joking!!!; Buddhist tranquility in a traffic jam - More practice required by this little bunny; beds, luggage and small buffalo on motorbikes - yeah, WHY NOT????; Crossing roads in any Asian capitol - death wish; Steve - its clean aint it?; and finally to homocidal food stalls - definitiely chicken satay sticks please. Love the yarns, travel safe, can't wait to hear more. (still jealous).
Magnificent Great blogs, we're loving them! Must admit that our NYE was quiet, but didn't involve dodgy minibuses with sus drivers! And by the way, all the local buses here are decorated with bright vinyl curtains, and research may in fact that the style is Moss Vegas - esque, not the alternative you suggested! Keep having fun, can't wait for more. Best regards, your yobbo mates downunder.
Nick watch out for the monkeys Watch out for those cute though unpredictable primates. They have big teeth, which you won't notice until they are close enough to scare you and force you to flee the temple backwards, with your girlfriend trying to keep them at bay with a hat. Unfortunately, the hat will not keep you from falling off the temple, though Ted learned that a digital camera helps to break your seven foot tumble. And that landing on it after such a fall helps to break your camera. Please take pictures of the gaggles of teenage boys wearing pink sunhats before such a fate befalls you.
Long time reader, first time poster HAPPY NEW YEAR! and I hope you don't suffer any major jet-lag when you finally return to the present. It's been great following the travels, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of Angkor Wat.
Happy New Year Don't know what year to wish you, but happy New Year! Glad to hear your continued adventures are going well (well, most of the time!), and I continue to enjoy your posts. Take care and keep having fun! Pretty soon, you're going to make me quit my job! Robin says hello!

Merry Christmas from Windsor/London Hey guys! We just want to wish you a merry Christmas. There was a little snow, but it rained on Christmas day ... so much for escaping Vancouver's climate! We look forward to seeing you in July and reading more of your stories in the meantime!
Seasons Greetings Folks! Well it's no longer Christmas but Happy Holidays and have a great New Year. We look forward to seeing you back in our small part of the world.
Stay out of trouble! (and Nick don't get too scared, Sarah will protect you, I mean you're still alive and healthy)

Merry X-Mas from Toronto Happy Holidays from Toronto. You seem to be having an amazing adventure, and I can't wait for another installment. Look forward to hearing more, and seeing sometime in the New Year. Lots of Love, Kris. Aunt Eileen, Uncle Mike, and the bros. send their love as well.
Merry Christmas Hi Nick and Sarah,
Looks like an absolutely fascinating place. We were just reading the travel section of the Windsor Star which had a front page feature about Luang Prabang. We all thought this was most appropriate of them. But again, your blogs are the most interesting of all. If we can't see you for Christmas, at least we can see where you are. We feel it is much better than nothing. I will try to email some family pics to you, in hopes that they don't make you TOO homesick. (Who would be homesick while living in paradise).
Meanwhile, have a great Christmas, and hopefully we'll talk in the next day or so.
Cheers
Dad Weber
Happy Holidays! Hi Nick and Sarah! Just wanted to wish you two a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The Weber Family will be gathering at our house tonight, sorry you'll be missing Oma Weber's Kartoffle Salat and Knopfle soup :) Sounds like you guys are having an amazing adventure! Have fun and travel safe!
Aunt Doris, Uncle Chris, Meesh and Kristi
Merry Christmas!!! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas! Glad to see that you're spending it in such a beautiful place. We in Windsor are surrounded by slush! We're going back to Niagara Falls for New Years - so we'll be thinking of you - but no Haunted House this time - it wouldn't be the same without the other half of the "Scooby Gang".... Take care and we'll talk to you in the New Year!!
Man....makes me want to quit my job And travel the world. You guys are living life the right way, thats for sure! Happy belated birthday and thanks for the hilarious email of congrats! I can't believe how often I laugh reading your blogs...must be Sarah...Nick was never that funny. :O) Just kidding. Can't wait to see your pics when you get back, the ones on the blog are fantastic!
