Sent: 4.02 PM - 3/11 2002 Excellent !!! you must be having a great time travelling, meeting great people.. Any chance of coming to Darwin? Keep up the great travelling bug, keep safe.. Name: Jaimes City, Country: Perth, Australia Sent: 3.30 PM - 3/11 2002 mate - you are a living legend !!! if you ever make it across to Perth, I'll buy you a beer ... keep up the great "work" cheers!
City, Country: Zwolle Sent: 2.42 PM - 3/11 2002 Don't get homesick!!Because at home they miss you just as much!!!! Name: Melanie City, Country: Sydney, Australia Sent: 2.19 PM - 3/11 2002 G'day! I just saw your segment on A Current Affair. I think what you are doing is unreal. Hope you have a wonderful trip!!! Name: Ross City, Country: Brisbane Australia Sent: 2.05 PM - 3/11 2002 I was surprised and disappointed to read a number of emails from other Australians criticising Ramon for what he is doing . This guy is being completely open and honest about what he is doing - no one is being ripped off or forced to accomodate him if they do not wish to . Perhaps some of the knockers will realise (when they are old enough to travel without their parents ??)that reciprocal hospitality is one of the pleasures of back-packing ie some-one may accomodate you on your travels and you may have the opportunity to do the same for a fellow traveller . RAMON: Hi Ross, thanks for your reply. Fortunately some of the 'knockers' on this messageboard have been the same person and posted under different names. Good that I get to see who REALLY posts a message ;-) Name: lily City, Country: australia....northern territory Sent: 1.58 PM - 3/11 2002 g'day ramon...i see you have no invites to the "topend" of oz...i live in darwin...a stones throw from kakadu etc......you are more than welcome to pop in, damper is fresh, beer is cold, weather is fine....we may even spot a croc or three!! it is "wet" season" here at present, so not really ideal time to visit. if u can hold off 'til after june, you won't be disappointed...the land of the "never never" has to be an integral part of any oz experience!! Name: Bec City, Country: Perth, Australia Sent: 1.13 PM - 3/11 2002 Well, i'm sad to say that sometimes i feel ashamed to be the same nationality as the mindless, closed minded, selfish people on here bagging you. I am proud of our country and welcome anyone to spend time here. It is a fantastic place and Australians (most) will treat you with the respect you deserve for having thought of an idea like this and showing us that it isn't just money that gets us everywhere... You are a genius!! Just watch how many people follow your lead (probably some of the people bagging you on here!!!) Enjoy our country...
Anyone who has anything bad to say is just jealous!! i think youre excellent, if i could do what youre doing i would do it without a second thought!! hope you receive the best of hospitality in australia and have fun! Name: Matt Holme City, Country: Brisbane, Australia Sent: 12.33 PM - 3/11 2002 WELL DONE RAMON! Do not listen to anyone who is bagging you for your excellent idea. They are obviously jealous, have a second rate job, and just can't stand it that someone else has thought of a terrific idea. It is obvious that the people who invite you to stay at their houses are genuinely wanting to meet you. You're not only giving yourself a great experience, but you're obviously becoming quite a celebrity. You'll probably make quite a profit from your idea in the future. I hope you do, because you deserve it for the terrific idea. And to the people who are giving you crap... I'm sure Ramon is happy with you. You're visiting his site, and making it very interesting. This means the hits are increasing... they'll be more publicity, and inturn Ramon can find himself more sponsors and therefore go on more trips. Well done guys! Congratulations Ramon, keep it up!
... well Inez, you visited the website so you were obviously affected by the news article. Name: Inez City, Country: Leiden, the Netherlands Sent: 12.06 PM - 3/11 2002 Gosh...are all these messages because of the item on Channel 9 about Ramon? Please go and get a life like Munk said. You all have obviously not understood what Ranon's project is about.. it's pathetic! Name: Mike City, Country: Ballarat Sent: 12.04 PM - 3/11 2002 Well done, I watched you on Tv. and said I wish I thought of that when I was younger. Keep up the good work. Name: Brett City, Country: New Zealand Sent: 12.03 PM - 3/11 2002 It seems that some of the poor skippy australian poofs dont like your idea Ramon, I think its because they are too slow to think of the idea themselves. Being a country formed by evicted convicts I find their comments about you being a cheep bastard funny.I on the other hand say well done & good luck to you!! Name: Kristy City, Country: Australia Sent: 12.02 PM - 3/11 2002 You're a geneous. This idea is great and it is working which is the best thing about it. I hope you are enjoying your travels. I plan to travel but it is still impossible for me to do so because I want to achieve my year 12 certificate. ENJOY!!!! Name: Munk City, Country: Zwolle Sent: 11.23 AM - 3/11 2002 Well, well. Some poor people seem to be wasting their precious time, telling somebody they do not know at all, what they think of him BY TYPING AN ANONYMOUS POSTING IN A MESSAGEBOARD. Get a life! Ramon certainly has one... Name: theo the great City, Country: melb Sent: 11.06 AM - 3/11 2002 you really sucked in a lot of people.get out of my country and do'nt EVER come back. you are using people and you deserve to be locked up.you are a lazy morron,and i hope u get lost for good.get lost and earn you money like us normal working people then travel the world you scum. Name: Jack City, Country: Melbourne Sent: 10.37 AM - 3/11 2002 The idea is stupid. The concept is dumb. Your website is boring as hell. You have really sucked in a lot of people. To see the world and have some other poor bastard pay for it, well all I can say is BRILLIANT. P.S. Who will read your book - your English is terrible! Name: Dan City, Country: QLD Sent: 10.28 AM - 3/11 2002 Ramon surely Australia is not the only country where you have to pay for internet time. You seem to be hung up on this issue of paying for things.poor you .somethings in life you have to pay for regards dan RAMON: Fortunately my webproject doesn't rely on people like you Dan, then I'd be home within a week. And fortunately some people have a sense of humor, you don't, Dan. Name: Lynda City, Country: Gympie, Queensland Sent: 10.28 AM - 3/11 2002 What a way to see the world. Have a great time in Australia! Name: Ron City, Country: Sydney Down Under Sent: 10.17 AM - 3/11 2002 Hi Ramon
Have a wondefull time and enjoy your stay in Oz. I put your site on our Dutch website in Oz www.dutch.net.au Dutch On-Line Promotions Sydney Name: Dan City, Country: Newcastle, Australia Sent: 10.12 AM - 3/11 2002 Hey Ramon, Good on ya mate, Anyone who says your a cheap bastard is just gealous that they didn't think of your idea 1st, Goodluck on ya adventures and take care.... Name: Ken City, Country: Brisbane Australia Sent: 9.56 AM - 3/11 2002 When Ramon has finished his trip he can always become a Member Of Parliament as would have the experience to free load off people just like Members of Parliament. Name: Inez City, Country: Leiden, the Netherlands Sent: 9.25 AM - 3/11 2002 Hi Ramon, Great reports, great pics. You even took pics in the hospital! It looks all too familiar to me.
Inez
City, Country: Wageningen, The Netherlands Sent: 9.13 AM - 3/11 2002 Hi Ramon, Congratulations that it is a year ago that you started this project!!!! Tomorrow, it is exactly a year ago that I read about your project on the dutch news-website nu.nl http://nu.nl/document?n=27702 . Since then I surfed often to your website and read most of your reports. You did not only had the idea for this project, but you also realised it. So I am very proud on you. Good luck for the coming months and I will follow you in my heart. Name: Jill Henderson City, Country: NZ Sent: 4.37 AM - 3/11 2002 Hi Ramon, It certainly was inspiring to meet you on Saturday on the four wheel drive, I really enjoyed listening to you and learning about your endeavours throughout the world. I have always been interested in people from other cultures, I suppose that's why in the 50's when all the other little girls got blonde blue eyed walkie talkie dolls for Christmas I ordered a black doll. Then there was the time spent corresponding with penfriends hence Helen. Good on you, enjoy yourself. I believe people make their own luck, and you certainly have! At this stage we can't offer you a bed, only floor space, as we are full up in our temporary accommodation, but would love to take you out to dinner whilst you are in Sydney and show you another side of the city. Cheers!
City, Country: Sydney, Australia Sent: 4.35 AM - 3/11 2002 Hello Ramon. I just finished going through your web page and I'm very impressed at how thorough you are with details. Your photos are great and add a nice touch. To have spent just 2 days with you was a fantastic experience and to see the photos enhances some great memories. It would be great to see you before you leave Oz, you can contact me if you need a bed and a good meal. Have a great stay in our marvelous country and thanks again for letting us be a part of your journey. Terry....the Channel 9 cameraman. Name: Angela Oliphant City, Country: Brisbane Sent: 1.09 AM - 3/11 2002 Hey there Ramon, we are looking forward to you making your trip up to sunny Brisbane, there are great places to see including the Croc Hunter.... Be sure to stop in for a drink or to... Cheers (mate) Angie :) Name: Sylvia (past host) City, Country: Scotland Sent: 6.57 PM - 3/9 2002 Hi Ramon
Love Sylvia and Family xx Name: Joan City, Country: USA Sent: 3.14 AM - 3/9 2002 Gosh Ramon, welcome back. It was great reading your recent posts and seeing the photos you take again. Once again, I am hooked and will be checking daily, to travel with you. :-) We've missed you, but understand the much needed break you took. When I travel for just a few weeks at a time I am anxious to get home. I can only imagine how hard this is for you at times, as well as being exciting and enjoyable and educational. Take care, and best of luck in Australia. It was wonderful that you had the opportunity to experience Hong Kong if only for an afternoon. Loved the photos! Even the ones on the plane! Thanks for sharing. Thanks again for all you do. You are remarkable! Cheers, Joan Name: Joan City, Country: USA Sent: 2.16 AM - 3/9 2002 Hi Ramon, Great to see you are off on your travels again. Best of luck. I have a question about the message board sorting. I can't remember how it was before, I have not checked since you went on vacation. It seems it would be easier if the messages were in chronological order, versus most recent first. It makes one have to read from bottom to top, scrolling up instead of the "natural" scrolling down, reading down. Just a thought, it seems the most recent should be at the bottom of the lists, and on the last page. :-) It's hard reading backwards. Is there an option to sort chronological versus reverse chronological? Thanks, and Have fun, good luck, Joan Name: Bret City, Country: CA,USA Sent: 11.04 PM - 3/8 2002 Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! Ramons Back! Looking forward to all the reports. Ramon, I still think it would be cool if you had Gerben write a report every now and then. Call it something like "Meanwhile, back at the ranch" by Gerben. Just a thought. Good to see you back. Happy Trails. Name: Sue City, Country: California Sent: 9.19 PM - 3/8 2002 "Off and running"!!! It feels wonderful to be "traveling" again--thanks to Let Me Stay For A Day! I have even more admiration for you now, because you took the time to renew your friendships, and to strengthen your love ties with Irena! A real man listens to his heart and learns how to balance his life with love, friendships, and adventure! Please take as many "vacations" as you need and we'll follow you to the ends of the earth! Many hearts travel with you! Name: Martin City, Country: Roden, Netherlands Sent: 12.28 PM - 3/8 2002 Great reports and pictures, like always! Did Telstra become a sponsor allready? :-) I was wondering; since there are a lot of Dutch people or people with Dutch blood Down Under, did you get invitations by them? Cheers and happy travels. Name: me Sent: 12.00 PM - 3/8 2002 Hope you meet the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin! He was in the States a few days ago. RAMON: Haha, guess who is back in Australia this week... Contacts are being made! Name: donatella City, Country: milan, italy Sent: 12.15 AM - 3/8 2002 sorry, I forgot: just for curiosity, how did you feel being "on the road" again after some months? best wishes, donatella RAMON: It feels strange. Suddenly I walked unexpectedly in Hong Kong City and even more suddenly for my body conditions I was in Sydney. And with the media hunting me the first week here, it feels I haven't really started yet... Name: donatella City, Country: milan, italy Sent: 12.10 AM - 3/8 2002 hello ramon, I haven't been lookin' at your website for such a long time..at last now I'm not that busy at university so I've taken a glance at the latest messageboard. so now it's up to australia? I wish you a good stay there and.. be careful: don't forget the laptop nor the mobile phone.. ciao, donatella Name: Inez City, Country: Leiden, the Netherlands Sent: 1.37 PM - 3/7 2002 Hi Ramon
I can't wait to read and see your reports about your ozzie adventure! And I hope you didn't cause my lovely friend the shock of her life showing up at her doorstep armed by camera's! But knowing her she coped perfectly with that. Strange thing eh, that internet is so expensive in Oz? I mean, it's not exactly a third world country??? You should go to the hospital library, it's for free there. RAMON: Unfortunately public internet is mostly outdated and locked up - as anywhere I think. A library mostly offers internet only, no word-processing or floppy-disk drive possibillity... I am just waiting for an answer from Australian's biggest internet company Telstra.com.au. Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.09 AM - 3/7 2002 Hi Gerben That wine you mentioned, I'll swop. I'll take the French wine, and I'll give you a good bottle of SA wine. What say U? To all of Ramon's supporters and fans, I hope to see you all back on the messageboard again. Brian
No reports and pictures yet, i gues he's busy with the media like television, radio, newspapers :-) Maybe a little jetlag? :-) Anyhow, i'll be watching this site the coming months and i'll wish you the best of luck! Cheers mate! RAMON: Hi Martin!It took me quite a while to get from Amsterdam to Australia and I arrived Wednesday morning with an enormous jetlag. Indeed, the television (Channel 9) was following me the first days and now I am going for a good days rest. The reports are written and the photos ready, but one fun thing: Australians know NO FREE INTERNET PROVIDERS. They have to pay for their account, pay per minute and even for the ammount of space they up- or download! Strange country, but I am sure I'll get my stuff online soon. . . Name: Janske City, Country: Bergeijk, Netherlands Sent: 6.38 PM - 3/6 2002 So he's gone... Some people thought it would never happen others will miss him... Fact is that a remarkable person has left and I don't have any doubts that he'll return... We'll follow him on his tour through Australia,wish the Australians a lot of fun (and strength ;) !!) and meet again, sometime, somewhere! Name: Gerben City, Country: Netherlands, Zwolle Sent: 10.27 AM - 3/6 2002 And he's going, going, gone... He almost forgot his passport. I'll bet you for a good bottle of wine that he'll loose his laptop and mobile somewhere along the way!
Hello Ramon I just read about your adventure in a magazine and decided to visit your site. It seems imoresive that you have managed to achieve so much in such a short time and at no expense at all. Hope you'll include Malta in your trip.
I liked your website, Ramon... i think your website can help to me and other persons for to go to other countries. Continue your fantastic advertures... Juan Carlos from a venezuelan paradise... Margarita Island Name: Karen City, Country: London, UK Sent: 3.36 PM - 3/4 2002 Can't wait to check your site again every day for updates on your adventures! Good luck!!!! Name: Brian City, Country: South Africa Sent: 6.14 AM - 3/4 2002 Bon voyage, Ramon. I wish you all the best, and may you always remember Irena. Munk, I'm proud that you chose wine from my small part of this huge world. It is indeed the best. Now the messageboard will be filled with contributions from all your web friends again. Do what you do best, Ramon, we are all behind you. hamba kahle Brian
You are an amazing inspirational person. I am looking forward to your Aussie adventures. Great that you have found Irena to share this experience with. Take care and have fun down under! Name: Munk City, Country: Zwolle Sent: 8.06 PM - 3/3 2002 It's the evening before the take off of Ramon's second leg of the trip that seems to have gained him a certain Internet fame. Irena's, who you may remember from the Barcelona Christmas report, is on her way to the army barracks in Breda again after she said goodbye to Ramon, who gavce her a boomerang as a symbol he would be back. Gerben is on his way over here from his parents in Nijmegen, where he and Mirjam have had a pleasant and peaceful day. Yes, they indeed fell in love (at last!). We'll have a very nice and probably South African wine tonight and bid him farewell for the next few months. Undoubtedly we'll meet again, proably in a city in Southern Europe again. We'll miss him. And we all wish you take care of him down under! He deserves it... Name: MJ City, Country: Denver, USA Sent: 10.13 AM - 3/3 2002 Hi!! Good luck in Oz, I think you will love the people and be close to FIJI!!!!! :) Name: Sharlini City, Country: Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia Sent: 9.54 AM - 3/1 2002 Hi Ramon, This is my third posting attempt. For some strange reason, while typing out my post using Opera, the message board disappears and I go back to your main page. Anyway, I'm back with IE. Great that you're off to Australia in a few days! I guess this means that I don't have to wait years before you reach this part of the world. =) Have a safe, comfortable trip (don't forget to take long walks on the plane to avoid DVT) and hope to hear about your adventures again! Donatella, here's a belated 'buon compleanno!' to you. You share your birthday with my brother. =) Oh, and does anybody know how long you have to roast cocoa seeds to make chocolate? Thanks! Regards,
p/s: I noticed IE trying to go back to your main page too....hit the Stop button at the right time. Perhaps that's why there hasn't been many posters in the past few days?
Hi Ramon
Lots of love
Looking forward to your down under journey. Happy Trails. Name: Arnoud City, Country: Amsterdam, The Netherlands Sent: 6.44 PM - 2/26 2002 Have a very nice and safe trip, Ramon! I'll be watching you ;-) Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.31 AM - 2/25 2002 Hi Donatella Just a short note to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a wonderful day, and everything happens as you want it to happen. Brian
Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.29 AM - 2/25 2002 Hi Ramon
