http://worthyquest-world.blogspot.com/2001/03/emails-from-italy-march-2001.html
Saturday, March 03, 2001. Emails from italy: march 2001. Thu, 8 Mar 2001 10:44:34. Yesterday we walked everywhere instead, and ended up at the domus aurea. nero"s golden house which has only been opened recently. golden house makes it seem quite grand. and i"m sure it was 2000 years ago. now, it is interesting, but undergound, very cold, and only fragments of frescos and mosaics and and architectural structure remain. It"s not like i have a job or something. Sat, 10 Mar 2001 03:33:47. Eating in italy rea...

Worthy Quest: June 2008
http://worthyquest.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Travels here, travels there. Friday, June 20, 2008. 40 for a double with balcony. 35 for a single with balcony. The first morning, it was great to wake up to sunrise over the river - - and spot the Wat Penh elephant on its way to work. But the room was noisy, slightly dirty, and run-down: holes in the sheets and towels, wardrobe collapsing, plumbing not great. Staff was friendly and helpful, but the atmosphere along Sisowath Quay got old and sleazy quickly. 39 dollars for a AC double (breakfast included).

Worthy Quest: February 2008
http://worthyquest.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Travels here, travels there. Thursday, February 28, 2008. Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 7:50 AM. It is freezing here in the computer room of the drafty tama ryokan. but warm in my room with my ceramic heater blowing and my two quilts. so before i run back up there, a quick tokyo note. That was still alive and moving! Afterwards, walked around the outer market, where there are stalls for regular customers. was wishing i had three stomachs like a cow, because there were so many interesting things on offer! It is th...

Worthy Quest: oh kolkata (sorry, couldn't resist)
http://worthyquest.blogspot.com/2009/10/oh-kolkata-sorry-couldnt-resist.html
Travels here, travels there. Saturday, October 24, 2009. Oh kolkata (sorry, couldn't resist). Suffice it to say to those who are not familiar with calcutta: yes, there is poverty (and the street i am on also goes by the name mother teresa street) but calcutta is also a highly cultured and easy-going place, filled with bookstores and poets and crumbling old colonial architecture. . 160;please let me know if you do. hes not only nice and funny, he is quite cute. We got back to the retreat at about 3 a...

Worthy Quest: Tropics in the mountains
http://worthyquest.blogspot.com/2012/03/tropics-in-mountains.html
Travels here, travels there. Saturday, March 24, 2012. Tropics in the mountains. So I left Bogota on Wednesday morning. sad to leave the very hospitable folks at my hostel and the very interesting city, but excited to move on. first to Honda for the night, and then on to Manizales to meet Gwen. Getting a ticket for the bus at the main bus terminal was easy as could be, except I ended up on Rapido Tolimas, which I later found out is not the best bus company! That evening, Luis Enrique took me and an older...

Worthy Quest: October 2009
http://worthyquest.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Travels here, travels there. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Slowly down the hooghly. I am about to collapse over the keyboard at the internet cafe. I packed as much as possible into my sightseing day in Calcutta. After stopping in St Andrews Church (once the Scottish church) and reading the memorial stones of more dead British people, I hopped in a cab. Another benefit of a Sunday was that there was no traffic! Then I ran off by taxi to the Victoria Memorial, which was grander than I expected. a beautiful...
