Happy Friggen Christmas and lots of Holiday Cheer indeed...
I'm in Pune where there's little alcohol, so no rum in our homemade eggnog, but so it goes.
I miss you and wish you so well on the upcoming journey. We're off to NZ in a couple weeks and i've already been fielding lots of questions about the goings on in Kiwiland, it'll be weird to be back there without you guys.
Love love,
Molly | | | | love the picture "wondering the streets of fes" it really captured the feeling of walking through the morrocan streets and brought back some memories of my trip to marrakech! | | | | your blogs the shit. | | | | Hi there, this is Seb, a traveler like you. I've just read your last entry about glasses of water, and it's funny because, looking at your journals, we followed similar yet reversed paths. I left Europe (and France) to study/work/live in North America (more precisely Canada). I liked what you said about waiters, services etc. And I agree and disagree. True, waiters in North America are all over the place... but they need the tip to "survive" (unlike in France, for example, where they have a better pay). For glasses of water, bread and so on... I really think it depends on the country and the type of restaurant. In the restaurants I go to when I'm in France, I never pay for water, bread, or butter. However, when I was in italy last summer, especially in Venezia, there was, as usual, a little extra for the dishes (that's like a rule...)but, as a tourist, I felt exactly like you did.I guess when we are obviously not "locals" we have a hard time finding real nice places... But it's worth looking. Back in France, on the "Cote d'Azur", I worked several summers in different aspects of tourism (museum, bar/restaurant) and, trust me, it's all about milking the tourists (Plus the post-9/11 syndrome between french and americans...) etc. etc.
It's sad, actually, but I really enjoyed reading your great description. Funny how we can encounter cultural differences everywhere... it sometimes feels even stranger when we take each other for granted.
I really enjoy reading your journals and look at your pictures. Now I want to explore this part of Europe I haven't discovered yet.
Take Care

I just read about both of you being in Paris. That is where Brad and I went on our Honeymoon. Such a romantic city.
I saw your Mom today. She's looking forward to visiting you.
Sorry I missed you at Christmas. Hopefully I will see you this summer and you can tell me all about your adventures. Your writing and pictures are wonderful as usual. Enjoy! | | |  | Awestruck near Albany 2/19/2007, Saratoga Springs, NY, United States |
| Dear Miss Melissa,
I want to be you when I grow up.
I'm sending you something that reminded me of the good times way back when, i hope it gets to Poland.
Thanks,
Manbait
P.S. Please save some places to see for when I can get on the open road again, which hopefully is sooner than later.
| | | | Of course I had to find your site after your last email. Interesting, very interesting. Your site is more amazing than I even imagined, you are making this future Polish zona look bad. One word of advice after visiting the sklep many times with Tomciu: use your elbows, those panie are brutal. Wesolych Swiat! | | | | mel, i loved seeing your pics and reading about your adventures. cheers! | | Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
