Name: raphael Country: England, UK Sent: 10.13 AM - 6/20 2001 Hello Ramon Just wondering - are you getting a bit bored with the "adventure"? Isn't it the truth that most people, most places are the same all over the World? Isn't it all just another mattress on the floor and a television? A Zen Master would say that you have a kind of disturbance within yourself if you feel the need to constantly travel when the real answers lie within you. Please note that this message is in no way to discourage or upset you. I respect your journey. Name: Sharlini Country: Malaysia Sent: 5.22 PM - 6/19 2001 Ramon, you're doing a great job! HS spoke for all of us, I'm sure. As for people like Corrector, remember this: "If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others." ~François, Duc de la Rochefoucauld. All the best in your journeys,
Hello Ramon, I just found out about this project and you as the "force" within it.
I think this is a good thing, not just for you but for all people who can relate... Stay in touch with the man you are. p.s. Please do not critsize me... My intention is only to communicate. Edwin
Hi Ramon, It's a little wierd writing you. I've been following your steps since you began, and feel I know you, but you haven't any idea who I am. Anyhow, I check in every couple of days and read about your travels and I just read your June 14th/15th log, you were picked up by a modern day witch and you said something that intrests me and I wanted to respond.

Country: wendy@theigloo.co.uk Sent: 3.57 PM - 6/19 2001 Hi Ramon, Colin and I hope it didn't take you too long to get a ride this morning. Our business meeting went well and one of the people at the meeting heard our interview on Radio Sheffield. They played a lot of the interview not just the one line or so that I heard this morning. Thank you for a remarkable and memorable two days. Even though we agreed to disagree on the future of Europe ;-) Just to let you guys know, Ramon is a very friendly and unique person and I promise that you will find it a pleasure to play host for a day or two. We will keep in touch and eagerly await your future reports to be published. Best wishes Wendy and Colin XXX Name: rachel Country: UK Sent: 9.44 AM - 6/19 2001 Dear Ramon I am honoured that you have made it this far to my country - the UK. I can only dream about the amazing adventure you have undertaken. In only 6 weeks, you have probably experienced more people, more places, more highs and lows than most of us can manage in a year - maybe a lifetime. Live the dream! Rachel xx Name: LSOM Country: Malaysia Sent: 8.59 AM - 6/19 2001 Dear Ramon, Thanks for making me realised that INTERNET equals to COMMUNICATION. Take care of your health and travel healthily. Name: Marcus Country: Holland Sent: 8.45 AM - 6/19 2001 Oh, I am sorry that I just wrote a message in Dutch, well in short it says that this ealry morning I found out about Ramon's world tour in a newspaper and that I think it is an awkward expedition but extremely cool. Moreover I know that at Tonga, little isle in the Pacific, there is a lady called Elise working for the local radio who will be so kind to take care of him for a day or two. Well adios from a uni's library! Name: Brian Country: South Africa Sent: 6.45 AM - 6/19 2001 Hi Ramon
I've been checking every few days on your progress. The weekend's visit to Birmingham airport you say is a defeat. Well, maybe not. I rekon that you were hosted by the airport, the only difference being that you did not arrange it in advance. In any case, life does not always go according to plan. It is in these situations that one can prove one's resourcefulness. I really like your quote about getting where you are and starting where you were. So true. I hope you don't mind, I've copied it for keeping, with the reference, in my list of quotes. Man, this is one hell of a project. Keep going, and let me know when you plan to visit South Africa. All the best for you, Ramon. See ya Brian
Country: ARGENTINA Sent: 3.01 AM - 6/19 2001 I MEANT WANT THEM TO BE OR PLANNED ... (SORRY CORRECTOR) Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg Country: Sheffield, UK at the moment Sent: 12.08 AM - 6/19 2001 I would like to use the quote "Please do not critsize my English. My intention is only to communicate." Thank you for your kindest words, HS. I am speechless. And in return: your writing inspires me in bad times. Ramon. Name: Ivor Country: British Isles Sent: 12.05 AM - 6/19 2001 I could not have written it better than HS! Thumbs up! Good luck! Name: HS Country: Netherlands Sent: 9.39 PM - 6/18 2001 Hey Ramon, I am impressed how you are executing your project. When I read your reports, I feel almost being with you and your hosts looking around and listening to the conversation. The contrasts in your reports are so remarkable. One moment you tell us about a luxury first class trip to Vienna with champagne and then you are sitting in a flying ultra light "motor bike", only secured by a safety belt. You have guts! What to think of the difference your appearing in an Austrian talk show as a "celebrity" and waiting alone for a hitch along the highway. And one day you stayed with a priest and a couple of days later you are in a car with a witch. This must "shape" your character. The "weight" of the discussions is also striking. Small talks about food etc. are lately varied with very heavy stuff as opinions about Euthanasia, Prostitution, Drugs, Child-pregnacy. When do you start your internet talk show in your spare minutes? I have a lot of respect for all the things you are doing every day. Writing reports, reading messages @-mails, contacting and socializing with hosts and homebase, getting hitches/walking along the high way, etc., etc. It is almost working. Don't get a burn out. Ramon, when I read on the message board how people are enjoing your trip I hope you will go on. But please take care of yourself. Also my best regards to your hosts and all the people who are willing to help you. P.S. Please do not critsize my English. My intention is only to communicate. Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg Country: Sheffield, UK Sent: 3.39 PM - 6/18 2001 Hey Munkman (hometown collegefriend)! So you are suggesting to come over here to bring me a crate of Dutch beer? Haha! Surprise me! Ramon. Name: Munk Country: Holland Sent: 3.33 PM - 6/18 2001 Hey, Ramon, still enjoying the urban surroundings of the industrial north of England? Do they have Grolsch there or do we need to bring you some? It worked before, you know... Name: Sigrid Country: Deurne (Belgium) Sent: 2.50 PM - 6/18 2001 Hi Ramon, I really like your project, you're doing very well. Every day I'm surfing on the internet to see your last report of the day. Wonderful, everybody who visites your website is travelling with you, so don't worry you'll never feel lonely. Keep up man! Regards, Sigridxxx Name: stan Country: united kingdom Sent: 10.41 AM - 6/18 2001 RAMON!
What's wrong wih pig's blood mixed with lots of fat? If you go North, try MUSHY PEAS from a Chip Shop. Anyway, our national meal is now CHICKEN KORMA! Happy eating! stan the man Name: Julius Country: Puerto Rico Sent: 5.51 AM - 6/18 2001 Dear Ramon: Good Job Buddy!
Cordially, Julius
Dear Ramon, I think you are doing a wonderful job. I don't understand how you got to do it, but I think thousands of people are travelling with you everyday. Please keep up the writing and know that most people are even learning from your English writing. It must be hard to write a 4 page diary everyday while you stay with other people in their homes. But I hope you will keep on enjoying the hospitality. I am now a old man, 85 years old - and typing this must have taken me over 25 minutes. I always had the dream, your dream, to see cross oceans and see the world, you know: when I was young. But life got me stuck in things. I fell in love with a lovely girl, got two beautiful daughters and after all I did sail many oceans as a fisherman. It's very inspiring to travel with you, while I am now stuck in a wheelchair and my nurse pushes me to the computer room, but I can type you this letter and I am proud of it. Just as proud as I am to you! It's just so amazing to see the world inviting a stranger over. I bet something must happen with all the people you visit. I really hope your journey brings you to Poland, but if it doesn't, just keep your eyes open for all of us following you on this net. We'll be there with you. God bless you!

Just Logged on to see how your getting on. Bit of a glitch i see with the Nuneaton stayover. Dont worry, i'd prefer to stay at B'ham Airport anyway. You thought Bristol was bad! Nuff said.. Also your backtracking old friend. Should have given us a call from the airport i'd have come and picked you up. Its just up the road and Toby would have enjoyed another night having his ball thrown around. Well, best wishes as ever from us at West Lodge, I'm sure it will be plain sailing from now on. Speak to you soon....brave Man! Regards, Nick Williams. Name: Jenn Country: USA Sent: 11.29 PM - 6/17 2001 Corrector, Does it really bother you that much?!? Can't you just enjoy what Ramon is sharing with us? I don't see you out a BIG adventure or anything. I think worring about correct grammar and spelling is probably the last thing on Ramon's mind! We all make spelling errors - you included! Maybe you should have someone correct your stuff before you send it, doesn't seem like you spell to efficiently either! Practise what you preach - if you're going to give someone a hard time - frankly it's annoying. Sorry to all of you, who disagree with me. Ramon, you're doing a great job. ! :) Jenn Name: Andy Country: UK Sent: 10.36 PM - 6/17 2001 Ramon, I would just like to commend you on still keeping relatively up-to-date despite the confusion of the last couple of days. I would also like to thank you for making those minor changes I mentioned and would like to say Keep up the good work! Also, to anyone thinking of inviting Ramon, 'Do it now! It is a brilliant experience and you would thoroughly enjoy his company.' STILL looking forward to reading report number 47! Bye for now, Andy
RAMON - WELCOME TO THE UK! HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. DO YOU LIKE FISH AND CHIPS? BEST OF LUCK, M Name: John Country: Phoenix, AZ Sent: 2.58 PM - 6/17 2001 Hi there ramon, I really enjoy your trip and accounts of your personal experiences and the pictures are a PLUS. I check in every day twice. You kind of remined me of my son Zane. You take care and hope you get to the states soon !!!

Kellyxxx Name: Andy, your ex-host Country: Heath Hayes, UK Sent: 12.22 AM - 6/17 2001 Hi Ramon, hope everything is good with you and your 'number 1 fan'. It really was a great pleasure to have you stay with us and I look forward to reading the report for day number 47. Mom and dad say Hi! Tell corrector to stay cool. Enjoy your stay in Nuneaton, regards, Andy Name: Corrector Country: The Netherlands Sent: 10.25 PM - 6/16 2001 Ok, I'm not the one to correct Ramons English and I didn't try to. I only advised him to get some help with it. Name: Guess Who Country: USA Sent: 8.08 PM - 6/16 2001 Oops!! Corrector, you spelled "recognise" and "couragious" wrong. They are spelled: recognize and courageous. Better check out your own English instead of wasting time correcting Ramons'. Keep up the good work Ramon. Name: Corrector Country: The Netherlands Sent: 7.57 PM - 6/16 2001 Ramon, I listed a whole range of errors of the English language but you do not even recognise them. That is why I advised you to get your backup team to correct them for you. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. It is great and couragious. I wish all the best. Name: Jaap Country: Netherlands Sent: 6.43 PM - 6/16 2001 I think the length of your reports is good like this, these are nice stories to read every day. Good luck with your travels and stay a little while in Great Britain because there are so many beautiful places. Name: Noemi Country: Argentina Sent: 10.47 PM - 5/6 2001 I have been reading your reports..well you are good!!! and you have the grace of making us travel with you.

Name: Russ Weiss Country: San Antonio, Texas USA Sent: 9.04 PM - 5/4 2001 Good luck on your journey. You have to come through San Antonio. The cultural diversity alone is worth the trip. I moved here in January, 2000 and never plan on leaving, even after I retire this November. San Antonio has it all: incredible year-round weather, fantastic Mexican and/or Tex-Mex food, the Alamo, the Riverwalk and warm, friendly people! If you go through Mexico and plan on visiting the USA afterwards, come through San Antonio. Afterwards, go through Austin - they have some of the best kick-ass clubs for music in the country!
