I want my quadrant home. It's handbuilt to look like everything else in the subdivision, errr, yuppie trailer park.

no, nor any brains in Canada

um, yeah, that was the only reason we suceeded.

how about some Thai fishermans pants? they fit you

Huh, I don't trust my computer with my life. And I don't trust anyone who believes in ISO - the only people who do are management and sale dipshits who've never made anything in their life. And I don't think Chinese made products are inherently bad; but as the sign of a costcutting company often are so.

I'm a big fan of capri pants - just make sure they showcase your package.

For who? For Nepalese, probably. For people willing to go to Nepal, good, because they substantially decreased the number of foreign tourists. Cheap. "Unknown & Authentic". Safe. You can only pick two of the three.

The main difference I noted, particularly in Indonesia, is that the luxury resorts required substantial bribes be paid to corrupt officials for construction and operation and were often owned by dummy fronts of corrupt officials. In at least one case the resort was constructed on land seized without compensation from locals. Large scale graft on every level, and the local workers were paid less than they would be otherwise (the resort jobs seemed to be mostly people from other islands who'd migrated). At that level the tourist staying in a several room family owned and run guest house and eating at a family owned restaraunt is encouraging entrepeneurism at a local level and discouraging large scale corruption (the families likely pay bribes but thats a different scale of corruption). I realize I'm a hedonistic hypocrite.

I thought is was sex.....or lack of. Thats why people have affairs. Or at least why men have affairs. Dude, women have just as many affairs as men. True, but for different reasons. I know of at least one marriage that broke up because the wife had a woman on the side.....

the most fun trips/sidetrips I took this year were done without consulting a guidebook or the interweb, completely seat of the pants. I find "sustainable" and backpacking amusing. It's not a sustainable point in the travel development scale (unless you consider the mega hostels of the Aussie Gold Coast "backpacking"), it's not sustainable at an environmental level, and it's not sustainable on a personal finance level. It's just self indulgent tourism that doesn't put as much money into the pockets of locals. As such, live it up while the gettings good.

I've asked the good people at telemarktips.com to weigh in on this issue olyclimber, you can await their expert opinion

The "maoist issue" made Nepal cheaper, except for the Khumbu which was "safe" so all the Westerners flocked there. It all depends on how much of a tightwad you are. No, I won't give out information. The stupid, lazy, and credit card bearing have already fucked up the world enough

I would have a wife but I couldn't come up with the appropriate number of cows earlier this year I was a good wedding guest in Indonesia, I'm sure the 5kg of sugar wedding gift went far.

Senor el Feck:

And all the monkeys arent in a zoo Every day you meet quite a few So you see its all up to you You can be better than you are You could be swinging on a star

you need a nice tool like pink to bolt shit

yes. winter, come soon

mostly just foreplay for the coming winter

does that mean I was in a position of responsibility?

mushrooms are fun. perhaps they picked the right kind?

those are life the other shit just gets in the way

hunting my coworkers

Thats great and all, but he's not going to Kyrgyzstan. It took me 3 shops in El Calafate to find White Gas, everyone of them had canisters. In Huaraz there were a couple shops that carried canisters. The other advantage I've found with a canister stove is you are less likely to get shit from retarded airline security people. Of course if you fly LADE they won't inspect your bags at all.

You keep staring into the shitter as you switch hemispheres?

there's a ski area at Mt. Lemmon.
