Nice Read Hi
I come from Macedonia but live in Sydney and have been here since 1987. I miss home but not enough to move back there. I don't have much to say but I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading your entry and I beleive you have hit the mark. I'm surprised you absorbed so much in such a short time.
Regarding Toni, I am willing to bet that had you stayed a bit longer you would have met dozens of little Toni's with 'useless facts' only we don't consider them useless, it is general knowledge. - Goce
Thanks for the comments about the pictures ... Maybe you could rewrite my journal so it's interesting ;-)
Goa looks pretty good - my mouth is watering.
Interesting but not enough info. Its interesting to read but you have not visited a lot of gorgeous places like the Sundarbans, Kuakata etc. And hanging around with guys who get high on cough med is very uncool! - W.Khan
Free mountain photo gallery Photo gallery - I found some nice pictures on www.visit-nepal.com/freephotogallery.htm. I hope this gallery is useful for many visitors as well as others who are not able to travel Nepal. - Raj
Well written Great blog. I was supposed to travel to Andaman in Feb, but family persuaded me to choose another place. Went to Agatti in Lakshadweep, which is another beautiful place. Will stubbornly visit Andaman this winter. - vinkash
Thank you This was a terrific blog entry. I just wanted to thank you. I am doing research for a possible trip in September, and you addressed many of the items about which I was curious -- with a pleasant and astute approach. Thanks again. -- DLW - David W.
Uzbekistan Dear Sir -
I have enjoyed reading your stories of jaunting through Centrral Asia. While I certainly disagree with a few of your comments poltically, you strike me as quite the person to sit down with a share a pnit or two....or three. that said, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the logistics of getting into the "'Stans" of Central Asia.
I have planned a six week trip, after I drop my son off in Kiev.
I'd like your input if OK with you.
Keep up the good work, by the way. I relate to a great deal of you lust of travel and its incredible rewards.

Facinating Theory in old BAKU Your journal material is facinating and the theory of the Norse is plausible. Travelsapien is no historian but I have spent time in the Country and fully agree. It is a gem waiting for discovery. Still untraveled by Westerner's and young in the ways of Tourism but it will come. Traveler's such as yourself carry the message and you carry it well. Hey. I love the photographs. I would very much like permission to carry a couple on my own site as I will be making comments about the Country eventually more than likely when I get back from there this Spring. Yes. Going back! So much history. Indeed the whole Silk Road experience is saturated with ancient peoples excretement before us. (lol) Excellent Journal. Kudo's my friend.
brought it all back Hi Jason,
Good to read your blog and see the many pictures. Inevitably, it reminded me of my own journeys east from UK in the early and mid 60's.
Especially to long trip out to India, hitchhiking all the way. In those days it was Turkey - Iran - Afghanistan - Pakistan of course, and I wondered how road-travellers like you made it thru these days....So it was an education for me.
I was in India for a few years - and as well as Burma/Thailand/Malaysia, Indonesia (all the way to Kupang in East Timor where we got a lift from a WW II landing craft that was going acroos the Timor Sea to Darwin... Good days.
I did think of you when I heard of the great disaster (and hoped you hadn't decided on Xmas on a beach in Thailand....)
Anyway, have fun. For me (aged 22 -27 yrs), those years travelling were the beginning of my education...and have served me for every day since in one way or another. You will find as you live a long life (Inshallah!) that you can talk to almost anyone.... you'll know where they come from!
Good luck and safe - but exciting! - journeys.

Gorgeous photos Thanks for the delightfully intimate pictures of places and people in your travels. Hope you have a safe and merry holiday. "Kelly in Korea" - Kelly
Thanx for the usefull information Hi,
I was searching the net to find some information about entering Tibet from Xinjang through Aksai Chin... and I found your blog, which is an excellent source of useful information. We are planing to make the same way next summer.
I read you had no problems whit the crossing. Hope that we'll have the same luck.
I wish you good luck and many many wonderful adventures.
