They are consumed by a manufactured version of the place they visit where they are sheltered from the reality of the place. This is why your version of travelling will be infinitely more rewarding in the end. Along with seeing amazing locales, by exposing yourself to the "bads," and processing those things, you are shaping your view of the world and gathering fodder to communicate this to others. ************************ on Tue 28th Nov, 2006 11:05 pm UTC amanda_pyle said: hey wren, jule gave me your link and i've read almost the whole thing, except for the archives that you haven't archived. i must say that the pictures, anecdotes and your back and front ends have made me feel that i have also been travelling/vacationing in asia. i haven't been to many places outside of the states because most of my time and $$ has been spent on community causes, which i have yet to come to terms with. :) remember my hands smelling like tunafish at your bday party from trapping alley cats? haha! so thank you so much for your posts! and ironically enough, when i went to your birthday party with the local food theme the last thing i expected was for you to take a trip to asia! weren't you just in the mindset of celebrating anacortes? and yes, you should be ashamed of all of the money you spent to spend money on National Buy Nothing Day. i'd love a postcard 1117 16th St, Anacortes, WA 98221. ************************ on Tue 28th Nov, 2006 11:07 pm UTC amanda_pyle said: hey wren, jule gave me your link and i've read almost the whole thing, except for the archives that you haven't archived. i must say that the pictures, anecdotes and your back and front ends have made me feel that i have also been travelling/vacationing in asia. i haven't been to many places outside of the states because most of my time and $$ has been spent on community causes, which i have yet to come to terms with. :) remember my hands smelling like tunafish at your bday party from trapping alley cats? haha! so thank you so much for your posts! and ironically enough, when i went to your birthday party with the local food theme the last thing i expected was for you to take a trip to asia! weren't you just in the mindset of celebrating anacortes? and yes, you should be ashamed of all of the money you spent to spend money on National Buy Nothing Day. i'd love a postcard 1117 16th St, Anacortes, WA 98221. ************************ on Tue 28th Nov, 2006 11:12 pm UTC amanda_pyle said: ok, now i have to say a few more things.
i wish i could delete the double comment and i'm not sure how it happened in the first place except i clicked on a link and then clicked on the back button in my browser to get back to your blog. your Mom has permission to make fun of me since she was gracious enough to make fur of herself for doing it. :)
second, you missed Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving, but Jule and Baila showed so hooray for them. you can see their pictures on my myspace (it's linked to my user name here) and i sent a couple Baila pics to Jule which he should then forward to you since you are both so technically savvy. how refreshing.
finally, i'm dying to know the books that you've read. i personally hate when i pick up a novel that turns out to be trash so i usually stick to the classics. current read: Catch 22. absolutely love it. ************************ on Wed 29th Nov, 2006 01:12 am UTC Mom said: Ahh Wren, the cruelest cut--shirtless, hatless, swimming trunks--while we have been stuck at 16 degrees F all day and taking our lives in our hands just crossing these icy streets. Have mercy! ************************
