Suzanne here... We've settled in Chiang Mai ok. On the way here we saw a coach the same as ours smashed up by the side of the road. I think it was a night bus we'd already decided not to take them as we've heard they are dangerous. I'm very glad now. The guesthouse TK guesthouse is basic but clean and a bargain at 200THB per night. They are friendly and also offer cheap tours and onward travel

Sonun sitz ich also allein hier. Cousine ist abgereist.Tja was nun mit der Zeit anfangen Keine Ahnung. Hampi allein ist wohl laut Reisefuehrer und anderen Travellern zu gefaehrlich. Vllt finde ich ja noch jemanden der mit mir demnaechst nach Hampi faehrt. Auch Sri Lanka steht momentan ziemlich auf der Kippe. Mal sehen was das noch alles wird. Fuss verheilt auch nicht will einfach nicht zuwac

I have oneI found a row of printing shops on the way back from the subway station and a few of them print red banners. I came up with a sentence stopped in at one on the way back from the noodle man last week and ordered a banner. It was as simple as that. My banner says Welcome to my cold shabby hovel. That may sound ridiculous to you because you aren't in my Culture and Society class. But

On my way to Lima I stopped by the Nazca lines. Sadly you have to hire an airplane to get a better view of the figures but you can still see the lines from a hill.Then I continued to Lima. As usual I almost died like 10 times on my way to Lima because of the craziness of the Peruvian drivers. Having said that the highway was nothing compared with the absolute traffic caos in Lima. They explain

We got up Wednesday to sunshine and decided to spend a day outside. Alex took me to an area of london that she use to love and went in search of her favorite hang out. We found it unchanged and just as aclectic as always. Troubadour. A dark entrance with an ornately carved wooden door. I would have walked right past it luckly Alex knew what we were looking for I of course loved the door

Louise's SectionYay it's me that gets to write first again and I have had some beer and now onto the vino so sorry if this makes no sense.We have now made it to Coolangatta South Gold Coast.

Il a pu ainsi voir ma maison en Chine exprimenter les regards curieux dans la rue les innondations aux intersections les chantiers de construction et surtout les chauffeurs

Tiger Leaping GorgeTiger Leaping Gorge is well known for its scenic beauty and was what originally drew us to Yunnan Province so we were excited about the opportunity to walk it. TLG was carved by the Yangzi River. On one side are steep slopes rising 1500 feet above the river but the other side is sheer cliffs rising 12000 feet above the river to snowcapped peaks reminiscent of the Maroon Bell

200 dollars a month less than 7 dollars a day for food. This is how much Pacific Lutheran University supplies us with. As the RMB rises in value this amounts to less and less. However my friends and I have made a game out of making money off of our food stipends.So we treat ourselves to one expensive meal a week usually Western food. We have done Subway Peter's Tex Mex Pizza Hut... None of

We hired a tuk tuk driver for the day for 20 dollars who drove us to some of the more remote temples. Luckily the 100k round trip was through gorgeous jungle scenery as we appeared to have the slowest tuk tul around

Boy are we pooped Yesterday Saturday we walked the Great Wall so cool The traffic around here does not sit well with my high strung personality. I squealed several times while Steve cracked up. As we were in the car line to go into the Great Wall cars were coming in our direction right in front of us no lines for the cars to follow and they don't stay on the left when they are comin

Reading that it was Perus second
