City, Country: Groningen, The Netherlands Sent: 11.39 AM - 9/12 2001 Thanks Ramon, For that beautiful picture of those lost buildings; symbols of democracy, freedom and human rights. The buildings are lost but those terms can never be broken. Lets be strong and think of all those families, neighbours and so on. Last night I was talking to a friend of mine who I had called as I couldn't sleep because my thoughts went to the American people over and over again. I needed to talk about the disaster. I had been watching television for hours and I was stunned. And I still am. It is terrible, unbelievable. I am speachless, but I need to get rid of those pictures that keep on coming up in my mind. That friend told me not to think of those people who were in the plains, but I am sorry, I can't help thinking of the minutes before crashing and all things that happened afterwards... If American people will visit this site in future, please know that you all have my deepest condoleances. And now... nothing more, just silence. Silence from the bottom of my heart... Juut
City, Country: Europe Sent: 11.03 AM - 9/12 2001 All respect, Ramon. Thanks. Name: Richard Reekers City, Country: Nijmegen // Rotterdam -- The Netherlands Sent: 8.31 AM - 9/12 2001 Ramon, What a fine choice you and yours made by putting The Twins in front in their full glory. I could't agree more. ETLD -- Richard Reekers Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg City, Country: Bodø, Norway Sent: 7.51 PM - 9/11 2001 Even anger won't be a solution. My thoughts are with all the victims. Can't describe how I feel, but you might know yourself... Name: Cowboy City, Country: East Coast, USA Sent: 7.24 PM - 9/11 2001 Those poor sick religious fanatics. Killing themselves and others in the name of God. How ironic. We are not frightened, now we are ANGRY!!! Name: MJ City, Country: Denver Sent: 7.11 PM - 9/11 2001 What a sad, sad day. Only wish I could help the families, etc. It is scary how something like this could possibly happen. Sent: 6.26 PM - 9/11 2001 I will pray for the victims and their families. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg City, Country: Mo I Rana, Norway Sent: 1.35 PM - 9/11 2001 Dear David Brown (posting below), I wish I could write more about the personal things that go on in my mind (and believe me, that's a lot), but I only have limited time to spent writing my reports. I even am days behind in reporting. Even my way of writing a normal report can already take one hour. I think the more emotional insights can be read in the Letmestayforaday-book, to be released after I finish. The latest news for the world: Internet Traveller Heads For South Africa! Name: david brown City, Country: rotterdam, the netherlands Sent: 8.59 AM - 9/11 2001 Hi Ramon, nice work! keep it up. i don't plug in every day to keep up, so maybe that explains it, but....... I get the feeling that your reports miss a little of the personal touch.....the inner deeper feelings that go through your mind. I used to do a lot of travelling about 10 years ago (i'm 35 now). I left ireland, and went through europe and south east asia, finally settling down in the netherlands. I kept diaries of my journeys and filled them with not only the things I saw and did, but also how felt - the ecstacy moments and the sad. it's not a critisism so don't get on my back - write according to the way you are, like I did. and maybe as I said it's because i don't check in every day that I miss the ups and downs of your story. or maybe it's not the purpose (correctly) of this journey to expose the open, vulnerable side of you to the internet world. what do you think? Cheers, David Name: Gillian City, Country: South Africa Sent: 7.50 AM - 9/11 2001 Hi! I read that you might be visiting South Africa. That would be really great. I think what you are doing is so cool and I wish you luck on your journey. Name: Faith Sent: 4.17 AM - 9/11 2001 To be in hurry is never considered civilised. Do make the time. Name: Nina City, Country: Panama Sent: 4.12 AM - 9/11 2001 Evie just be yourself. I’ve seen tourist from all over. From Europe, Asia, United States, Australia and more. I find it very interesting the diversity of them all. Tourist visit the unknown, they see and discover new things.They explore. They are a boost to the economy. If they seem amazed over something in another country, it’s only because it’s different than what they are used to seeing. I don’t think it matters at all what they wear, how they talk, or walk, or the silly questions they may ask. They are fun people who are enjoying themselves and the world. Imagine if people (tourist) were all to behave exactly alike, dress alike, and talk alike. What a boring world it would be.You are an american and no one should change that. Just be yourself. Name: Evie City, Country: Florida, USA Sent: 3.57 AM - 9/11 2001 I understand that American tourists are maybe not the most appreciated tourists... I'd like some ideas of what I can do to be a "better tourist" and not so "typical American" the next time I travel to Europe. What do you all suggest? (I'm serious, not being snide.) Thanks. Name: de baas City, Country: Zwolle Sent: 2.06 PM - 9/10 2001 Hi Mones, Good to hear you're getting used to being around those stubborn Scandinavians (joke!). Damn, man I really miss those Sunday Single Nights. There isn't anybody left to get angry with! Sorry, I haven't mailed yet, too busy screwing things up. Take life as it comes or it won't go away!! Mail you soon.
Cowboy,
Unfortunately I don't have any more time to be resizing the amount of pictures I publish to little thumbs, so the thumbs that you see are automatically generated from the original size. I know, slow modems can't eat it, but I can also just don't place anymore photographs... To Abby Sher, If you have to scroll from the left to the right of my website, I suggest you download a new version of your current browser. I have only encountered that problem with people who were using a very old version of Netscape or Internet Explorer. I am a website programmer myself, but the php-scripting is done by a friend who doesn't have that much time to work on it, just like me. There is nothing more I can do, exept from writing and publishing and continuing my tour.
I love what you're doing but it's very hard to read your site. I keep having to scroll across the page and sometimes I can't get far enough over to read the whole line. How about staying with a computer programmer before too long to get this problem straightened out so we can follow along. Best wishes from LA, Abby Name: Joy Sent: 6.33 AM - 9/10 2001 The best organised character is the one who understands most about life in which he is placed. Name: Cowboy City, Country: USA Sent: 3.51 AM - 9/10 2001 You need to reduce the size of your images on your reports pages. Use Paint Shop Pro or something to make them into real thumbnails. The loading time is horrible, and I am using DSL. I downloaded one thumb and it was 66.3kb, so figure that times 10 images and you are killing people with a 56K modem. http://www.spinwave.com is great to reduce the size of an image. Giddy up!!!! Name: Alessandra Martina City, Country: Varese,Italy Sent: 12.33 PM - 9/9 2001 Hi! First of all let me say u really r a cool person and u had a great idea too! I wanted to inform u that yesterday on "Corriere della Sera" (most important Italian newspaper) appeared a pic of u+a map of yr travel+an article about yr story. Go on! Respect. Name: Cheryl City, Country: Minnesota, USA Sent: 6.23 AM - 9/9 2001 I think what you are doing is fantastic. I have two friends that are selling their home and they are going to buy a sailboat and sail around the world. I am going to join them, where ever they may be in 5 years. If you are still traveling about in 5 years, you are more than welcome to sail awhile with me. I would enjoy the company and your stories of your travels. If you happen to come to Minnesota...you are always welcome in my home. Good travels to you!!vikinggirl_97@iwon.com Name: Elisabeth City, Country: Ålesund, Norway Sent: 11.54 PM - 9/8 2001 Hi Ramon. What a great concept! Thanx for sharing your incredibly interesting travels with the rest of us. I see that your heading my way...you should really drop by Ålesund; such a beautiful city. After living in London for almost three years, I've come to defend my home country a great deal to the British. But don't we all defend what's ours?? So the Cowboy from America is simply doing what's natural to him. HOWEVER, after living away from home, I've also been lucky enough to get an "outside perspective" of my country and see more clearly things that are not so good at all, and that there IS a world outside "my univers" that can teach us a thing or two. It's all about being open-minded as well as self-critical. I think we could all do with that some times. Anyway Ramon, I hope us Norwegian treat you well (we're known to be a bit "sceptical" and "reserved") and that you'll continue to share your experiences with us all. It's really interesting to see what you have to say about Norway and its people. Good luck to you! Elisabeth
I heard about you on danish radio, and I got curios. How mutch courage dos it take too travel around the world like you do? I can't have you staying for a day right now. I'm a woman with 2 teenages, and I think courage is the main thing in life. Maybe because I lack it myself. I'm 43 ears old and still it takes all my courage just to raise 2 children and handle there teen-problems every day. I doo wich, I could transfere some of you courage to them, because I do think it's important. Without courage You've got nothing, because You wouldn't dare do the things you wish to doo. Keep the spirit up and god luck from a mother in Denmark Name: Elisabetta City, Country: Milano Italy Sent: 10.06 PM - 9/8 2001 Congratulations the best way to meet people!!!! bye have a nice trip Name: maria City, Country: milano Italy Sent: 10.04 PM - 9/8 2001 Your idea is marvellous.My best compliments. Maria Name: Francesco Zambianchi City, Country: Lugo, ITALY Sent: 4.23 PM - 9/8 2001 Dear Ramon, I'm a 15-years-old boy. I rode about your adventure on the newspaper. I think you are a boss!! I'd like to travel with you, I'd like to know different cultures and people too... My town isn't interesting, it's in the north-east of Italy, in the near of Bologna. If you want to come here I'll be very happy. Thanks!!

City, Country: Milan, Italy Sent: 1.35 PM - 9/8 2001 I am 12 years old and Monday I will made a small lecture in my school about your adventure. Bye-bye Silvia Name: Enrique Samanez City, Country: Lima Peru Sent: 9.46 AM - 9/8 2001 Go on Ramon! I will do the same next year. You just receive my invitation and it is not necesary to be for just one day, till you feel you have to keep on going Your friend Enrique Name: shally City, Country: Beijing, China Sent: 7.26 AM - 9/8 2001 Hi. Ramon,I am very glad to meet you in this special way. How is the great project going there? Good luck! Name: ike.king City, Country: chengdu,china Sent: 5.10 AM - 9/8 2001 hey,Roman:what's going on?please give us some news to let us konw you r still alive. Name: Martin City, Country: Holland Sent: 12.55 AM - 9/8 2001 "We would like you to travel with us from Bergen to Trondheim (2 nights)" Sorry, i gues your cruising right now! :-)
What's up Ramon? It's getting pretty quite around here.. Are you ok? Name: Cowboy City, Country: USA Sent: 7.38 PM - 9/7 2001 Just cross your fingers because I might give you a call if I want to come and visit you. Yeah right!!!
Hi~I heard about you today.I want to become your girl friend.You are so lovely!:) Sent: 1.45 PM - 9/7 2001 "Life is not about the journey you make, it's about the roads you travel" - Buddha Name: juut City, Country: Grunn, The Netherlands Sent: 9.04 AM - 9/7 2001 Hey Big Star! You're still doing great, though I am still waiting for you to come over and visit beautiful Groningen and have a nice cold beer with me, or just share a bottle of white wine, and some cheese and stuff. I know what you like... Unfortunately I cannot offer you any cigs as I quit smoking for weeks. But except for that, I'll make you feel at home... However, you don't seem very interested to travel through the Neth. again and yes you are right: who would come overhere if you can be in that lovely Norway and so on!! ALL the best, love, Juut
Sent: 8.31 AM - 9/7 2001 Yes, I do agreed with you Karen. Indeed, interNEt and Ramon definItely make life more interesting. Name: Karen City, Country: London, UK Sent: 8.15 AM - 9/7 2001 In response to what Bret from the USA mentioned yesterday, I would like to say that I think people have the right to response to Ramons reports. He has the right to write his point of view on certain issues and other people can give their opinion on that. This is the way we learn from eachother (andisn't the interent a perfect way of doing that?)! For Ramon, keep up the good work, love the website and find your opinions very interesting. I don't always agree with certain things, but hey, I don't have to as life is mostly about learning new things and listening to different opinions.
Ramon,
Name: Udno Likajam City, Country: Manila, Philippines Sent: 7.40 AM - 9/7 2001 Little miracle happens everyday, Ramon. Name: Gurt City, Country: Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands Sent: 6.08 AM - 9/7 2001 Ramon,
Normally (wheather conditions) the time to cross is November.......... Name: acadia City, Country: maine, usa Sent: 5.52 AM - 9/7 2001 Another note from an American. Many, many more people do not recycle than do. Many American adults cannot name all 50 states, and some cannot name the current president. Loads of Americans know more about other countries than their own. It is a shame, this is a wonderful place we live in. And a marvelous planet we live on. I'm glad Ramon decided to share his view of it with the rest of us. Acadia :o) Name: Gurt City, Country: Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands Sent: 5.50 AM - 9/7 2001 Hi Ramon, I listen to the Dutch radio each morning around 5.30. Please come in more! Name: Bret City, Country: CA,USA Sent: 11.02 PM - 9/6 2001 Sandi,
I couldn't agree with you more! Ramon's adventure is the best learning exprience around. It's the only site I constantly visit. Cowboy,
Did you actually take offense to what Ramon said? Shame, shame. Ramon has the perspective of looking from the outside in. So what he said is true by his perspective. Please don't take offense by what he says, but learn more about yourself and the world from a different view than your own. As for recycling? We don't do enough!!!! Name: Preston City, Country: Hood County, Texas, USA Sent: 10.53 PM - 9/6 2001 Most Americans ARE blissfully ignorant of world geography. A survey found recently that some 40 percent of us confuse Australia and Austria. One girl I met thought Paris was a country! Our president is now enrolled in Geography 101. During the campaign, a reporter stumped him by asking him who our ambassedor was to an African country he had never heard of!!! (Growing up in Texas, the world becomes "here, and everywhere else." If you are from anywhere else in the US, you are a Yankee.) Don't worry, we are happy in our ignorance. (We cant spell our own language, too.) I am learning so much, thanks to Ramon. Thank you for sharing. The internet is making us one. And we had better get used to it.
Hey, Cowboy! I couldn't resist mentioning that Americans often assume that Canadians (your neighbors to the north) live in igloos! Maybe education systems around the world can be improved to learn more about other countries. In that regard, Ramon is doing us all a service by providing first-hand information -- so pay attention - we could learn something! Ramon: love "travelling" with you! You are teaching us all about the great world out there by sharing your experiences - it's like being there. Keep up the good work! Name: Cowboy City, Country: USA Sent: 3.37 PM - 9/6 2001 Just to let people know that when foreigners from Holland visit the United States they ask, "where are all the cowboys and Indians". Don't people from Holland know anything about the United States at all. A closing note: We DO recycle our trash. Name: Michael Offe City, Country: South Australia Sent: 3.12 PM - 9/6 2001 Hi Ramon, How are things going? Have you been able to keep you camera and phone? I haven't been on your site for a few days. Just catching up. Don't worry about critical comments about your writing style... if you see something worth improving on do so, but otherwise I think it is fine, not many other people are providing the worlds population with a 'virtual reality' world-wide holiday! :-) I am enjoying it. By the way I am listening to the Dutch Family programme on our ethnic radio station 5 EBI FM, here in Adelaide South Australia, it's 11:40pm. No I'm not Dutch but I enjoy the music. Best wishes,
I admire your courage to travel the world alone.If you need my help,I'll try my best. Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg City, Country: Bergen, Norway Sent: 2.14 PM - 9/5 2001 Hi Coralie, I don't really have to keep myself that warm, it is 15 degrees Celcius up here and with a Mexican gulf stream it doesn't really get that cold on the westcoast of Norway. But in case it gets cold, I already have a winterjacket and thermic clothing with me so it won't take any extra weight. Thanks for coming by! Ramon. Name: Coralie City, Country: England Sent: 12.16 PM - 9/5 2001 Hi Ramon
Coralie Name: kristl City, Country: zwijndrecht,nederland Sent: 7.42 AM - 9/5 2001 Thank you for your reports. I'm looking forward to it every day. I've a famely to look after, so I couldn't travel. So it is very nice to travel with you like this, reading and looking the photos. Name: Randi Fagervik City, Country: Mo i Rana, Norway Yüklə 1,59 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
