  7. Where should I travel?
    Created by: Aquilla (aquilla79@hotmail.com)
    [Timestamp: Sat 22 May, 4:43 Wodonga Standard Time]

    Hello,
    This website seemed the best place to ask this so here
    goes...
    I am free for 4 months, from now till August, I am a student
    on a budget and within those 4 months have to earn a bit of
    money someplace to pay my rent next year!
    Ideally I would love to travel to Montana and stay on a
    ranch. But anyplace apart from England sounds good at the
    moment. If anyone is in the same sitution and looking for a
    travel companion, I'll be happy to join them, providing of
    course that they are real in their intentions.
    So, what are you waiting for?!
    Advice would be welcome, and answers to this post would be
    even better!
    Bye!

    Hi
    What do you look for in a website? What makes you use that
    web again and again. What changes would you make in
    general if you had a web of your own? I personally would
    like things to be faster with not so many pictures. Tehey
    may be pretty, but sure slow things down alot.

    be!! I mean, how often will we see 4 digits change from

    I am planning to head to Brazil (where I am from), but
    since I now live in Mozambique, I also want to hear about
    any parties, celebrations and happenings on this side of
    the globe (or anywhere really).
    Sooo, what are you all planning to do on Dec 31, 1999? Any
    interesting ideas? What's the scoop?

  16. Experience with language schools abroad?
    Created by: Vicky (vgomelsky@hotmail.com)
    [Timestamp: Tue 18 May, 15:02 Wodonga Standard Time]

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a writer for Escape Magazine (www.escapemag.com) and for
    the September issue, I'm doing a story about language
    schools abroad. If you've ever taken a language immersion
    course in a foreign country, I'd love to hear from you! Here
    are some of the things I want to know:
    * Where did you study?
    * Why did you choose to do an immersion program?
    * Was the program intensive?
    * Did you have a harder or easier time learning this way?
    * What were the benefits of the program? The drawbacks?
    * Did you live with a family?
    * Do you have any anecdotes you'd like to share about your
    experience?
    * Did you consider the program a vacation?
    * What kinds of cultural activities were you involved in?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
    Vicky

    Created by: Into_the_early_morning_light (Break4Love@hotmail.com)
    [Timestamp: Tue 18 May, 11:21 Wodonga Standard Time]

    ....I have just lovingly and painstakingly created a club
    for people who are interested in the Dance Music party and
    club scene worldwide, so we can get together and swap ideas
    and info, and ask questions about whats going on all over
    the world, and hopefully enable people to meet up for
    parties and events wherever they are. If it sounds like your
    kind of thing, here's the URL:
    http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/theglobaldancefloor
    It's a Yahoo site, so, obviously, its totally free. Also,
    there are links to other sites (this is one of them), photo
    albums, contact lists and a chat room. The club has just
    started up, but we've had a good initial response. If you've
    got any questions, please e-mail me on the above address.

    Does anyone know any surfing schools near Lagos, Portugal as

    spend time there reading a book on a beach. I've heard the
    surf there is about the best in Europe and can't wait to
    learn there - or do I even need to take lessons as I'm
    a good snowboarder? Just put my weight on the back foot
    instead?

  57. Want to volunteer in Kenya this summer?
    Created by: Jessica Goldberger (jgoldber@ssc.wisc.edu)
    [Timestamp: Sat 24 April, 7:46 Wodonga Standard Time]

    Interested in an exciting volunteer opportunity in Kenya??
    Applications now being accepted!! Read on...
    KENYA SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE FIELD PROGRAM
    July 5, 1999 - July 31, 1999

    This summer Global Service Corps (GSC), a project of Earth
    Island Institute, is initiating a Sustainable Agriculture
    Field Program in Eastern Kenya. Global Service Corps first
    began offering Kenya village-based programs in 1994 by
    teaching biointensive agriculture (BIA) to community members
    in the Mumias area of Kenya's Western Province. GSC is now
    planning to replicate this highly successful program in the
    Kibwezi area (in Kenya's Eastern Province) and is looking
    for participants with an interest in small-scale sustainable
    agriculture and local community development to assist with
    the development of this program.

    The program begins with a two-day orientation and tour of
    Nairobi. GSC participants then travel to Kibwezi and attend
    a three-day biointensive agriculture training workshop.
    After the training, volunteers will be placed in homestays
    in Kibwezi for three weeks. Participants will have the
    opportunity to visit local sustainable agriculture and
    development projects, as well as numerous self-help and
    women's groups in the Kibwezi area. The program will
    conclude with either a final celebration in Nairobi or a
    trip to one of Kenya's many celebrated game reserves.

    Participants must be at least 20 years old. The cost of the
    short-term program (July 5 - July 31, 1999) is $1,795 (not
    including airfare). An internship option is available from
    July 5 - September 13 (cost: $2,520). In addition,
    long-term placements are possible.

    To receive more information, please contact:
    Jessica Goldberger, Coordinator
    Kenya Sustainable Agriculture Field Program (July 1999)

  76. Eye laser therapy
    Created by: Blind as a bat
    [Timestamp: Fri 9 April, 10:51 Wodonga Standard Time]

    I can't seem to get on TTYC so I am asking it here. This
    year I am heading off on my OE for a few years and because
    I wear disposable contact lenses I am thinking about
    getting the laser surgery that will correct my sight all
    together. Contacts lenses are a pain in the bum when
    traveling. Has anyone had this surgery? Good /bad
    experience?

    If you're looking for a good trek, we can recommend Lin.
    We spent 3 days/2 nights, walking in the jungle,close to
    the Burmese boarder, visiting 4 different villages-
    completely unspoiled (no long-necks and no tourists at
    all). Lin, ou guide, was really good/ from Burma himself he
    knew everything about the language and the lifestyles of
    the different tribes. He knew the jungle very well and was
    very good at sharing this knowledge.
    We stayed in primitive huts/great people/great food- a trek
    to remember.
    You find Lin in his office at the cross-roads with the only
    traffic-light in Mae Hong Son, his shop is called
    "DON"Enterprise- Tour & Trek, and his sign says "Adventure
    plus fun. His phone-number is: 611362.

  89. Caving Expedition
    Created by: Mr.Wiggles (Wiggy@farmnet.com)
    [Timestamp: Mon 8 March, 8:56 Wodonga Standard Time]

    I am forming an expedition to explore a recently discovered
    cave. I am a pig farmer and own 212 acres of land in the
    Blue ridge Mountains of West Virginia. Recently, my prized
    sow "Kate Moss"(I name all my sows after super models)
    escaped from her pen during a horrendous thunderstorm. She
    roamed the hills for two days before I found her. She had
    broken through the crust of an elaborate cave system and
    wedged herself in crevice about fifty feet below the
    surface.Well sir, she was quite dead by that time and I had
    to rappel down to retrieve the carcass. When I got to the
    bottom of the opening I relized Kate's body was wedged in
    there to good and I wouldn't be able to return her for a
    proper burial.This apparently wasn't the first time this
    had happened to our unweary four-legged freinds for there
    were bones scattered every where on the cave floor.I then
    noticed that the chamber I was in had several different
    passage ways leading in all different directions. I
    explored one of the passages about 500 ft. before I was
    over taken by noxious gases and just barely made it back to
    the cave entrance.I have checked with the State of West
    Virginia Geological Survey and there is no record of this
    cave system in their files. Since the only known entrance
    to the cave is on my property, I own it and would like to
    turn it into some sort of tourist attraction like Dollywood
    or something.I am in search of a qualified Speologist and
    also a Cave Cartographer to join me in my expedition. I
    can't pay you but you can camp on my pig farm for free and
    my wife makes a mean roast possum with squirrel meat
    gravy.YeeeeeHaaaaaw!!!

    Does anyone know of books or some internet website or other

    Like what would be a good combination say if I started in
    Pakistan and went east and wanted to stay out for 6 months
    or if I went west or north or south or Australia/Asia or
    Europe north Africa Central America/ South America etc.
    ThereÆs a billion of things out there and it is a bit over
    whelming some times. I get so excited about some places and
    I donÆt want to eliminate anything yet I have the feeling I
    would never return back home if I tried to do the whole
    world at once. But then again, maybe thatÆs the pointà.
    Anyways, of course this all depends on factors such as
    money, what one is specifically looking for, time,
    experience etc. But I am mainly looking for combination
    info or tips on good routes.

  93. The "MUST DO'S"
    Created by: Rat (prathwell@hotmail.com)
    [Timestamp: Sat 13 Feb, 8:36 Wodonga Standard Time]

    I am trying to figure out the absolute best things to do in
    the world. The greatest places to go, the greatest things
    things to see, the greatest things to do, where the
    greatest parties are, and what are some of the better
    "backpacker friendly" towns for atmosphere i.e other
    backpackers and work. Esentially what I am looking for is
    the "absolute must do's" of different countries. I have
    traveled to Australia, so I will use it as an example of
    what I am looking for:
    Things to see and do: Scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef,
    Climb Ayers Rock, check out the 12 Apostles, Myall Lakes
    National Park; unbelievable sand dunes, Jeep safari through
    Kakadu National Park, Canoe the Catherine Gorge, Visit Port
    Arthur; definitely go on the Midnight Ghost Tour, Jeep
    Safari Frasier Island, Sail the Whitsundays, Trek the
    Daintree Rain Forest, trek anywhere and everywhere in
    Tasmania, climb the Blue Mountains and relax in the warm
    fresh water pools, etc, etc.
    Towns and cities with a good groove and atmosphere that you
    don't want to miss: Byron Bay, Perth, Surfers Paradise,
    Airlie Beach, Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns. These places are
    inhabited by loads of backpackers and are great places to
    party, and sometimes, if your lucky, get work.
    Parties and/or cultural events not to be missed: Gay and
    Lesbian Mardi Gras (Sydney), Darwin Beer Can Regatta, New
    Years in Byron Bay, a good game of Aussie rules football
    (preferably in Victoria), a trek into the backcountry to
    have a beer at a Pub in a one horse town that you would
    rather not be in.
    These are some of my "must do's, must see's, and great
    places to hang and party". I am sure you have your own
    ideas of what would compromise your list. That is what I am
    most interested in.... your opinion. And not only for
    Australia, but for any country or countries in the world
    you would like to tell me about. By getting a consensus
    from a # of different travelers hopefully I can get an idea
    of what to skip and what is a "must do". Thanks !!!!

  100. FAT travellers
    Created by: dora
    [Timestamp: Tue 25 August, 12:30 Wodonga Standard Time]

    I am an otherwise attractive woman who weighs over 200 pounds and I love to travel. In the past I have been in beautiful/amazing places (the jungles of Guatemala, an island in Greece, the Carribean, etc.) and have been very uncomfortable with people's stares/responses to my weight. I love to swim in the ocean but often locals and/or other travellers look at me as if they are offended that I would dirty their beautiful view by showing my body in a bathing suit. Have any large woman travellers been in a culture/country where no one made them feel uncomfortable about their bodies and where you felt free to swim, frollick, walk around, without getting stared at all the time? I'd love to hear about it -- perhaps I'll visit there next. Also, it seems to me that the more Westernized otherwise accepting cultures become (i.e. the Mexican Carribean) and the more used to tourists, the more judgemental those cultures become too, importing standards about beauty that they probably didn't have. What do you think?

  104. Travel Coincidences
    Created by: Lawrence
    [Timestamp: Sun 12 July, 0:05 Wodonga Standard Time]

    The world is a small place (not original but truer every
    day). People often experience interesting and wonderful
    travel coincidences. I offer an example from my experience.
    In 1976 I travelled to Bombay where a woman I met at a
    small dinner party encouraged me to spend some time at the
    Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherri (sp?). She had grown up
    there in the Ashram. I spent a couple of weeks at the Ashram
    on that trip. Ten years later (1985) in Canada I was filling
    out a form at a government office in the prairie city where
    I was living. The woman who served me asked me about the
    Indian style bag I was carrying. She indicated that she was
    from South India. When I asked her where, she told me I
    wouldn't know the place. It was small not-well-known town.
    Inquiring further, I learned it was Pondicherri. She, too,
    had grown up there. She was the sister of the woman I met 10
    years earlier in Bombay.
    I'd appreciate hearing about other ætravel coincidences'
    people have experienced. (And, in your opinion, was the
    experience fated? Or can it be explaining on the basis of
    probability?)

Have also been to New Zealand, Fiji and more .... I'm planning another solo trip later this year to Sumatra if things are OK in Indonesia. At this stage I'd just like to get a feel for how many 'mature-age' people there might be who like the Lonely Planet lifestyle and who might read this??

    I am a graduate student in travel & tourism at
