In the line of fire....
Heya aan alle lezers wij zijn lange tijd niet veel bezig geweest op onze blog maar stil zitten hebben we zeker en vast niet gedaan. Na onze nieuwe doelen gesteld te hebben zijn we er weer stevig ingevlogen. Welke nieuwe doelen daar komen jullie vanzelf met ter tijd wel achter. Tussen al het klimmen zwemmen fietsen en lopen was het tijd voor een ijsklimweekendje in de Ardennen. We keken er
The long drive to Arequipa
Everyone awoke when it became light 5.30 am. Had a second shower and we went for a coffee at the nearby hotel which we ordered at 7.00 when they opened but actually arrived at 7.30. We wandered off again for a 50 minute walk near the ruins and came back to find breakfast prepared. A good nights sleep for Ed. Jo got fed up of her sleeping bag sliding down off her mat and continually having to w

On the beach
The earth moved for us last night only an aftershock from the recent earthquake but it was strange and Jo thought slighly scary to feel the ground rumbling when you are lying on itGot up early and packed up the tents Jo does not like camping. We were then shown by Dave how to pack it up properly. We probably only got a four out of ten but at least it all fitted into its sack and if necess

1 I believe so because the description from Castigilione describes someone of good character. Someone o good character would typically want the best for anyone because they are loyal. I think that there are some guys out there that really look for the best in their mate and will remain loyal to them. People like them are hard to come across and realize it.2 He might have believed this idea becau

1. Do you agree with Castiglione's description of what makes a man IDEAL Why or why not Do you think men like that exist today I agree with his description of an ideal man to a point. For example I don't think it's actually important for a man to be proficient in weapons and always wear nice clothes and only talk to the upper class. I think there are men like this that exist in Hollywood becaus

Xi'an
0302Connor and I got up early 7am to go to Mao39s mausoleum. Lined up for around ten minutes at what we thought was the entrace only to find we were on the opposite side. Got sheperded by some extremely stern and scary looking guards to the line where we had to wait around twenty minutes in temperatures at least 8 below zero. Not pleasant... There were far too many people up so early to see

Rihla 17 I do not agree with Castiglione 39s descriptions of what makes a man ideal because a man doesnt have to be good at every aspect of life but has the ability to learn from life. Sure man could be of this Castiglion description but not all man adapt to this position of statue. He thought this because he may have seen it like all men should be aware of their surroundings and a step to tha

I don39t agree fully with what Castiglione39s description of what makes a man ideal. I say this because there have been many great many across the world who were very different. I think being great is how you conduct yourself and the ones around you. There is not set description that makes a man great automatically. I think that maybe in the world there are men like this today but you just

1 Do you agree with Castilogne39s description of what makes a man IDEAL Why or why not Do you think men like that exist todayI agree with his description of an ideal man. I feel that men who are leaders must always treat their followers with respect. He mentions that the ideal man has to wait and receive favors rather than to ask for them. I think thats a good example of what some men have
Homeless in Hong Kong for New Year's ... well almost but it was close
Hong Kong for New Year39s that just seems like such a great idea. Being in this particular city that we always wanted to visit made us all excited. We could not wait what the New Year39s celebrations would be like what the atmosphere of the place would be like and how we would feel about HK in general. We did realise though that with great experience of HK came higher spending so we decid
