My footsteps are making inroads into the field of white land that’s before me. I am in the mountains and less than half an hour away from the biggest little city in the world. It maybe a poor second to Las Vegas but what Vegas has Reno can match it with other activities that surround in multiple directions. That could be the nice problem with Reno. There are too many other things to do and s... Read Full Entry

Glad you enjoyed America...

I'm guessing you're being ironic...

Why do you gamble when you can't afford to lose money? And when the guy asked you where you've been to in America, you should have started counting your countries like "Let me see...Uruguay, Suriname, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Bolivia, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago...". Would have loved to see his face. I just have to say this one time: writing stuff like "America is a great country" makes you sound like a brainwashed bogan. Not that the USA isn't a nice country to visit, but chiming in with people from the US and using the name of the whole continent to refer to their country and their country only is terribly grovelling. If you spoke a little more Spanish, you could have asked people in Ecuador or Nicaragua about that, and you would have realized that they find this highly offensive. "If only they are Americans, what are we?" Anyway, sorry about that, it's 6am and I can't sleep, so I'm a bit too grumpy to be writing friendly, reassuring comments. Cheers, Jens

USA
Always good to get a comment from you Jens. Yes I was told about the whole America thing but sometimes every now and then it pops in. When you've been brainwashed for your whole life its hard to change. I have made a concerted effort to not refer to the country throughout like that but every now and then I slip up. Apologies

No need to apologize, mate. Sorry about my previous rant, I've taken a little nap and I'm more upbeat now. I liked your Central American and African blogs a lot better, maybe I just shouldn't read your USA blogs if I'm not really interested.
