Unregistered	Western or Eastern what? In location or culture? ;-) Yes, the locals do! We have North, South, East and West London and they all have their own labels and stigmas!

You got it right, in a round about way. Manitoba Beaches are Smint. Alberta, well it is desert. What are the beaches like in Manitoba??? I'm confused. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Ha ha not quite! My mother was coping with raising her family while my dad was away, he was in the Royal Navy, doing a tour of Malaysia etc. So she was able to give birth at the Salvation Army Mother's Hospital which accommodates single mothers etc.

Unregistered	Absolutely not! I hate Eastenders, and to be honest none of them are real Eastenders, and it certainly is not true to life! Just not a fan of soaps altogether I am afraid!

Moved to Nigeria (in the Niger Delta of all places hehe), stayed here till i was 6. Then back to Northumberland, England for the next 16 years and counting, and Singapore 1 year. My favourite place is between Singapore and Newcastle Upon Tyne (i went to uni here for 4years). Singapore is a great place once you get over the intense weather at times, i still haven't. Newcastle is great although the weather is a problem here aswell, but you do get 4 seasons which is a plus at times.

I have a task for you. Keep on bloggin' with your Bolivian visit in 2003. I'm a moderator for South America, and the more experiences we have from our Travelpod bloggers the better. You would be surprised how many people find our blogs useful, and we sure don't have too much about Rurrenabaque. Cheers Martin -------------------- .

Wanderer Group: Members Posts: 12 Joined: 17-April 08 From: England Member No.: 169565 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Hi Martin, There isn't any info on my Bolivia blog as of yet, because all my photos and trip details are back home on my pc. So any info i'm putting up at the moment is places i went from memory, but i'll complete the blog come august time when i get back home. One thing i'll say to anyone going to Rurrenabaque is that finding the Mosquito Bar is a must, our group had some great nights there! (And they have some cool t-shirts you can buy next door) Starla: I'm currently working as an Engineer for a commissioning company on a couple of the oil and gas rigs in one of the shipyards over here.

Tripper Group: Local Expert Posts: 2002 Joined: 4-June 06 Member No.: 2195	You see, Andrew. You have vital information about Rurrenabaque. Nothing is more important to our bloggers than the location of the best pub in town, as long as its got beer (see our previous blog about the pub with no beer). I guess our avid readers will just have to wait until August. -------------------- .
