I've got a Beware of Attack Penguin sign someone gave me back home, now I might have an idea of where it comes from.<br /><br />Emily- Ouch. Probably deserved that. Anyway, whether or not it's degrading a bigger message, I do want to emphasize that I want more people traveling. I think the world is better of for it, and the people who do it are as well.<br /><br />Helen- Oy. That's even harder. I don't think I want to go public hating on any one country. Even if I could, sounds like bad PR. Still, a good friend of mine pointed out that you often get much better stories if you ask them about what they hated than if you ask them about what they liked. Email me or ask me in person and I'll come up with something.Joel R.

Not everyone dreams of adventure. Perhaps your tendency to lean towards boastfulness and superiority is degrading a more universal message: dream a little bigger and fear a little less.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354591849556802008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817474337710674147.post-53538625087882863502010-04-22T18:19:55.630-07:002010-04-22T18:19:55.630-07:00i can really relate to this post - except for the ...i can really relate to this post - except for the fact that we're not as well traveled as you are and that we're not going home yet. <br /><br />in egypt, when we told locals that we were from canada, they would simply respond "canada dry" - it seems like people know more about seattle than they do about canada!minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353187576456219127noreply@blogger.com
