... to have voted for the first African American president in US history. Being a woman I had initially hope to vote for Hillary Clinton to be the first female US president; but that did not come to be. So, I have put my disappointment aside and am very proud to have voted for Barack Obama. The US president is considered to be the most ...

... the water but the water itself. It is beautiful to see her do the blessing and I hope on some level, however sub-conscious people will pause to understand how precious water is. We use it for so many things from drinking to power generation, but who really pauses to pay attention to it much less show any kind of respect and giving love and thanks to water is largely unheard of ...

Bij onze schitterende overwinning op het voetbalveld (die voor Mathijs niet als verrassing kwam na zijn "good news will come to you from far away"-fortune cookie twee dagen daarvoor,) lijkt elk nieuws in het niet te vallen, maar vooruit: een update uit Amerika. Laten we voorop stellen dat we de wedstrijd live hebben kunnen volgen vandaag aangezien Mathijs mij ervan overtuigd heeft dat een wedstrijd van Oranje een heel legitieme reden is om een middag ...

... there as well and we ended up in McDonald's for a dinner at around 18:00. After that we went towards the Lincoln Memorial, and Vietnam War, Korean War, I World War and II World War monuments. Another phony tourists' photo opp and a walk back to the car. We circled around Washington for another hour or so trying to find the Pentagon and we actually managed to do this. Piotr took some pictures and made short video footage before the car marked "Pentagon ...

... so sad by the time I got home. Melissa had to catch an early ferry out of Busan, so everybody was staying up with her and then coming to the airport. I had big plans of waking up and cleaning before I had to leave. The reality was much more typical. I woke up to the phone ringing, 20 minutes before I was supposed to be downstairs. As I'm standing there half-naked, realizing how late I am, I suddenly hear what my director is saying on the other end of the phone. "I'm not ...

... when I remembered that I meant to do online check-in. With no luggage to check, that would make the process at the airport much shorter than usual. Well, I got to the check-in page, and saw this: Flight misconnection. With my Japan flight delayed 3 hours, I have already missed my flight to Thailand. So, apparently I will not be getting to ...

... similar S American trip to the one we´ll be doing so were able to give us lots of tips. Perhaps the most important one was how I might get into and out of a hammock elegantly, something that´s eluded me so far. Last day (might need to refill the tea cup) and we were up at about 4am for a night safari. Also saw the most glorious sunrise. Saw more animals such as coots, a family of caeper thingys and other stuff. Getting tired now! Truck to bus stop at 11am and 24 ...

... fractions within the tribe are growing." He shook his head at the ranger. "About this incident," said the ranger," some people are changing their stories as to what has happened while others are angry at the people for changing their story. Many people are fighting." "We will have to work this out," the tribal leader said, "but I do feel that there is a need to ...

Driving back... Nice long weekend trip, but I wouldn't recommend it for more then three or four days. We did like the American side better, granted the view from the Canadian side is better but it's overly touristy and expensive. You can plan on picnics and stuff for the kids, there is a lot to do for everyone including Casinos.

... hooters), or maybe it's the often close minded hypocrites that join. Who knows. I'm done ranting. I hope I get my compactflash cards in time for this trip, otherwise I'll have to break some heads over at eCosts.com. Atleast their sales staff is really really nice ;). I hear California is 77 degrees this time of year. Lucky West Coast people. Don't worry though, in a week I'll be posting stuff that'll make you jealous! Muahahahaha Mark out
