> wow, you are turning into a garden gnome!haha! just teasing you.
looking forward to finding that riverbed and finally planting them all into place. Think they are suffering there just hanging in the air without a basin for water. Worst case scenario I keep buying more plants and just shove them in between. Eventually I can plant them in someone's garden when the roots get too thick and start all over. But my favourite is the mint, cause I can just nibble on that like gum when I'm bored and keep it smaller. It also ads a nice aroma. I asked for Basil too but the guy forgot.
hey, i did your survey on the page you sent me last time... i was a second person..just for the curiosity... who was the first? was it you? well, anyway, that was my guess. i think i answered twice same as the first person and once i hesitated what to chose "what is the most difficult thing for you on your travels" ... between find a place to poop or find a crazy enough travel companion to move in with you... i knew i should have picked the first one but i marked the second and that was the difference
Yah I was the first but just wanted to see if it worked for someone
else, because it does not allow the same person to vote twice. What I like about learning
about programming is
that it is relatively easy to find complete scripts for free. Eventually I learn from how
they are set up. I'm doing some interesting projects at the moment. One I recently made
was a "share
a caravan ride" site for Europe and one for
... how are you? I was walking from our
place to prazsky hrad and pohorelec and loreta and petrin and it was soooo nice! well, i
still envy you the
bananamushsmooches, heh heh

hey bro,
responding to your two previous letters.
Did you say best man?? My goodness, I thought you said groom helper or something. In any case, that is certainly an honour, whatever you choose. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous to make sure the speech is the best in the world. I guess it would be silly to run it across you first but it should be a surprise or something?
Sure, we can rent some suits. Wanted to ask you about that anyway. I gathered my Monster interview clothes, the only nice clothes I got, wouldn't cut it. My mom already wrote about it and demanded some pictures.
Concerning the programming thing, yah, half a cent for anything that goes through the system, then half a cent if they want it vetted as well (the second half would require hiring someone, or I could do it myself until the workload gets enough). My markup has been 3 cents all these years so if enough turnover goes through it it will hopefully be interesting. My latest project is a survey among translators what they charge. My Translator Charges Fees Rates page is almost at the top of google in those such keywords and new applying translators have occasionally asked me what to charge, so this was just another goofball idea to add dynamic elements to my various pages in hopes that it will increase traffic and push me higher up in google etc. Another dynamic element is the goofball surveys at the bottom of my http://kenax.net/travel/ page. Maybe you'd get a kick out of submitting your opinion. But after the translator charges is done I'll get working on the auto translation project thing. Will require analysing the previous guy's work and will certainly be a challenge. Everything is already set up but I just need to create a special administrator class with limited rights. Was thinking recently that this would be a cool way to make cash - I like to call it Mr. Facebook and Mr. Google approach. Making different dynamic web projects and try to monetise them. Definitely creative and a better use of my noodle, and the coolest is I don't really have any customers and don't have to suck any butt!
Looking forward to seein ya and really hope it works out. Latest potential bug in the system is your mom scared me by saying that the Czechs are becoming increasing Natzis with road checks etc. Met some Czechs on the road recently and they said the same. My truck is practically a time bomb on wheels. I sanded it down before I left cause I wanted to paint it, but it was too windy and I eventually gave up on that project, so now it is faded blue and rust in a bunch of spots, and looks like a disaster just waiting for a cop to pull it over. Hope to get it painted in Czech Republic and got all sorts of plans to fix the belly and make it much nicer, and to convert it to French Fry Fuel like I think I said. Then I guess the cops would be happy enough. Hope I keep making cash! This month seems on schedule (about 1200 Euro). Actually made a hundred bucks with my first SEO customer! I'm just his consultant and said I'd want at least 500 bucks for all my SEO tricks, so had to give him about one fifth due to his budget, but he was quite happy and hope in time to squeeze out of him the rest.
Looks like Misha will be in town as well, so now I have both her and Stef wanting to be my hot dates. Your mom was saying it was going to be expensive for you. I know its rather cheesey of me but I thought I could offer to at least pay back one of the debts, which I think is 6,500Kc for when you went down to Croatia. Assuming the jobs keep coming in and there is no disaster I think I should be able to afford this. I've been offering everyone, like I do with my translators, 1.5% interest per month, which would make it... hmm, maybe we could wait for the interest till later. Not sure if I'll have that much.
Beginning of next month I'll finally be able to make my first charity
investment. Decided I was going to set aside 10% of profits (strictly from translation
work and not including any other expenses) from the start of this year and already owe
quite a bit, but it will feel nice to send 200 Euro to some shelter for children in
Looking forward to seein ya! k

hey baby, I'm in bumfk Greek village at an internet cafe paying for ridiculously priced crappy beer and cool to be online at the same time!
I got room for 6 extra (on top of me) with super seatbelt action, then more can sneak in the back if they/I wanna take the risk.
Yah, CalMisha hittin town!
I think the Tatra thing would be cool, but that means I go slower to
Misha? Crazy, died hair, moved to
makin my way up the greek coast and lovin it. Even got two
--------------------------------
I think that the Tatry would be a jewel and if it would be difficult
for you to get out there, I'd rather get there in advance and take my time getting to
Prague, winding through Morava and Krakow etc., drinking delicious cheap beer. If you can
get straight out there then I can drive quicker to
YAY, I love that Misha, she's hot and
awesome and crazy and funny and yeah!!!!! Well, I'll stare at a calendar for a while and
make sure about when I can safely leave
--------------------------------
I think the easiest is if I pick you up in
I was planning on getting to
Logistics, logistics... Soooo, I arrive at
the airport the morning of the 9th of July...so I can ask mom if she minded terribly if
that first weekend I abandoned her. SO, if, let's say, I left
--------------------------------
in da cafe at the moment. So you not bringin your mobile roaming? Just got gas cash in account so I can be there anytime. Also just got a rush translation though, so lets sms soon from here!
Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow night, so I'll
be in Nei Pori thursday morning. My stay is quite short, so I don't think I'll have time
to travel too far on this one, but
cau dude, responding to
your last mail I read on my mobile. In some village at the moment and not getting much
chance to hook up my comp to the internet, so hopefully we could get this sorted before
you get to
--------------------------------
sms to abroad shouldn't cost me too much more. Whatever works for you.
The towns I mentioned are all quite near
Will send you sms now just as I blast off this email, heh heh. Wonder which will get there first...
yeah, i got my phone, but it's Czech so it would cost you more than to sms to Sasha's local number, right? My mob is 777 13 386. I'll get you Sasha's later. I can't find a map of the riviera online... Do you know where I can get one?
--------------------------------
just forwarded this email with your address to Misha so maybe you girls will be able to put two brain cells together to make, well, two brain cells, and hopefully enough to organise! Otherwise, I took the beast to a ski village and four of us slept inside, about 20m from the top of the lift! Room for four plus me, then I can squeeze some hot babes next to me, heh heh. I have guests sleep over occasionally and no probs, but the tents are there as back up etc.
Sweet! Yes,
--------------------------------
you never saw my lovely lovely beast yet? Here's the caravan beautification page. You can drool at the man who will be married soon.
But really, whining problems are not a problem. When they go take a shit at a gas station, I just drive off and leave their luggage by the side of the road, heh heh (discretionary invite is a good idea).
How big is your beast, holy hell? That's a lot of people! Will talk to Sara about this more, hopefully talk her into it.... I'll have money to share fuel costs, also will make sure I don't starve ;) This is so exciting, you have no idea! I'm kinda hesitant about inviting too many people because I don't want a bunch of people turning into retards and whining about their individual needs...just want peace and meandering and cheap beer and awesomeness! and YOU! We haven't done a road trip in for freaking EVER. Don't let your random hot babe drool on me in her sleep though, kay? ;)
--------------------------------
hey dude, seems increasingly probable that I'll be in
My latest project: convert to French Fry Fuel and not have to worry about gas cash anymore. A real dream come true.
--------------------------------
> ej, what's up,
Driving up the Greek coast at the moment, snailing a bit each day,
and heading towards
no,no, nobody called me to do any of this self help alteration. - yes, I migh be able to pull it of / this maly staff. - is your car still insured or it might cost you a lot. Make sure you are on time paying it.
Insurance is definitely being paid, as every cop in
I went to play with Petr the other day and whole my body is kinde of aching and I have no idea why since we played only one hour. Tom is still in town and I have not played him for some time / I saw him a few days ago with his hand in cast some kinde of tendon problem.
I'd probably be dead, since only occasionally do I go for a jog or somethin, but would be up for a game fer sure. Will contact once in town. Was just curious if the police have become Natzis with their road checks, as my stepmother was warning me. I usually like to drive along the small village roads anyway. latero
--------------------------------
He is reconstructing two houses across Europe, now one in
--------------------------------
I think Misha said she coming around the middle of July and will be there also for a month. What do you mean "does she feel like playing"?
You got a webcam thing for your computer? Off to
OH, I wanna be in
hey babe, I think someone
told me once that there is a bus service to
--------------------------------
hey dude,
today I'll be going to
--------------------------------
So my construction work has started and so far I must say I'm having
a good time! It started with gardening work at one of his Bulgarian houses, in the
mountains (found out he has 50 houses across Europe), and then for a week to Thassos in
I'm hoping to put about a thousand Euro into the bank a month, so hopefully that will all pan out and if things run smoothly wouldn't mind hanging out on his various projects for the next year or two! Over and out.
--------------------------------
hey babe,
might be a possible change of plans. The contract for the ministry I
was translating for is finished apparently, in which case its possible my workload may dry
out substantially. I'll see how it looks over the coming month and ask her again towards
the end of it. If it looks like I wont be receiving enough, there are two options: one is
to bus/plain to Prague and shorten my stay to about two or three weeks so that I can get
back to my backup construction job; the other, which seems more likely, is to cut my time
there to about the same but drive there using my construction friend's van,
which will be a lot cheaper in gas and I can get there faster as well. So if I cut my time
shorter I guess I could be in
--------------------------------
Some companies say it's not possible and others say it is. Have to research more but I have a hunch it will be possible. In any case it will take me a few months to save up the cash. Crossing my fingers.
Finally hooked up with my house reconstruction friend and quite liking the work. Turns out I'll be the cook for the dudes, so my food will be paid for, and I can switch to translations anytime something comes in, so I have a feeling I'll be able to put at least a thousand Euro into the bank every month, savings! So it quite saves my arse and looking forward to getting back on my feet.
Already did the Greek tour for about a month and it was lovely.
Fernando hooked up with me for a small leg. Then accidentally (heh heh) drove through
I thought you said you couldn't convert to
french fry fuel in your last email. Maybe you found a way around it; if so, good luck! I
will most likely visit
--------------------------------
I miss letters from you, I do not know
where you are, when you go back to Praha let Ciki know you are coming and my computer is
on strike I am on some "administrator" program and it only works half capacity.
Was great last year when you came. I miss you very much. Keta is grieving for har RAZ who
gave up last week. 18 years !!!!!!!!!!! she was so sad. Jana is in
Well, it would motivate me to write more if I got more feedback from you. I recently sent a whole bunch of letters - did ya get them?
Now in Thassos and working a couple of hours a day on the garden and translations in between. The Bulgarian mountains where he has about 6 houses is absolutely beautiful. My translation customer just wrote that she included my name in her recent bid on another ministry contract, so seems like she's happy with my work and would be cool to keep getting more. That way I know I'll have enough cash to cover gas to get to Czech, otherwise I may have to fly or something. Would like to hang in Czech for a couple of months this summer, and put the truck into proper shape.
For your computer I would suggest you get a good backup and I can show you how. That way, if it goes kaput, or you want to buy a new laptop, you just install the backup and everything is already set up, with everything intact.
Just checked on google and I'm happy to learn that I'm 8/36 million
for "cheap travel
Now just to get some travel mates! k
--------------------------------
so the more I think about it the more it seems likely that I wont be
taking the big beast (boohoo) but rather a smaller Ford Transit. Highly short of the
glamorous beast, but better than nothing. Will try to cut my trip short so that I'm gone
from here a maximum of one month, so about one week on the road total (half a week either
direction). I'll throw my bed in the back and can be a gentleman and sleep on the front
seats and let you take the back bed. Just wanted to know if you were still up for the trip
considering the scaled down circumstances. I think I could be in
--------------------------------
Hi Ryan,
I've had a few guests in the past so we will see. Write to me as your date approaches. Karel
It all sounds very exciting! I'm not sure
how soon I'll be in a position to do something like this but it sounds pretty close along
the lines of what I'd like to do. September is probably the earliest I'd be able to make
it overseas but everything is still very conceptual. If this is something you do
permanently, I was thinking I'd keep your contact information for the future? I'm not sure
if this is anything you've done before or would be willing to try but I'd be willing to
work if possible in anyway that may be necessary, I doubt it would have any relevance but
I'm almost done college here in
--------------------------------
Hi Sado,
during that time I already have an agenda but may be able to delay it if your boss would be willing to pay around 150 Euro a day including gas, accommodation and food. Then I can drive him where he wants, as long as the amount of km is not excessive.
Hi, I\'m searching for a travel guide for my boss (Morris) for the countries of
