Russmeister! Hey dude.
Good to hear from you.
Hang in there.
Glad you've touched base again. Just what is the worst thing about Angola?
Heya RUSS!!! I'm glad you got the chance to post here. Just a few more weeks and you'll be outta there. :)
Russter! Missing ya!! Safe journey home, bro.
Yoo Hoo! RUSS! I guess you'll be back in a week or so?

I met a couple from Angola a few weeks ago in a restaurant in Hanoi ... as soon as they said we are from Angola I thought - "that is a bad place" ... and it's not the rap regarding the blood diamonds and ... I just have an overall impression that it is bad. but thanks for the tip ... I think I will avoid it.
I was poking around looking for another gig and there was an opening in Mauritan, LM thought it was Mauritius simialr spelling but ...
Mauritan - islamic republic with hideous human rights - regular coups - abject poverty - etc etc...
Mauritius - island paradise - 24/7 universal wireless internet (the entire country !!!) etc ...
She was ready to move until ...

Mauritan is what you call people from Mauritius the tropical paradise place off of Madagascar. I think you were trying to say Mauritania (but forgot the 'ia') which is the desert hell hole in the Sahara. What a difference a couple of words make if you were trying to do a plane flight or something.

quite right ... a couple of letters big difference ...
Hello All.. finally off vessel awaiting on flights out. Talk about a lack of organization. I wouldnt even use teh word organization in the sentence, lol.
I have not had a beer in over two months. That will be remedied very soon I promise you.
Thanks for all the well wishes.. hope to see you all soon. I will talk more later, when I gets more time.
As for Mauritania.. you are right. I been there too. That place is a dustball, you get sand in places you dont know. And talk about bugs.. certain times of year theres huge insect infestations.
Russ
Heya. Hurry back, Russ! I'm sure Miss Starfish misses you. And vice versa.

Yikes - 2 months. An IV may be in order to get it into your system a bit quicker.

Yes when I read the CIA blurb on it - it immediately hit me that this was one of teh top ten places on the planet i didn't want to go, but thanks for the affirmation.
VG
Hey all, getting closer.. I fly tonight to europe then over the puddle back home.
Thats funny VG.. I use the Cia site as well, but you wonder what they arent putting on that site lol.
I was told I was flying tomorrow, and started in on some heineken. But then got told I was flying tonight a few hours ago. So the beer will have to wait.
Hi Russ...good to hear from you...and good to hear you're on your way to home sweet home.
It seems like an exceptionally long run this time...no ?
Happy flying !
Hey all. Im home.
Yeah, it was, like 10 weeks. I did fly through Frankfurt again, surprising. actually.
Glad you're home safe and sound Russ. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

10 weeks - gad zooks - that's a long hitch.
Does anyone laugh at hot dog jokes there .. I bet they have never heard one ...
Welcome back, Russ.
Thanks PC and Gopher.
Yeah VG, it was really trying this time as the calls from there were expensive, and Starfishie didnt want me calling too much cause of that. Then when I got home the other day she complained to me she didnt hear from me too much ?!?! Women confuse me.
Im still laughing here about the hot dog jokes..

Well as Norm from Cheers would say ...
"Women ... can't live with 'em ... pass the beer nuts"
If I were the mayor of Frankfurt I'd have signs up at every entrance to town " Wiener / Hot Dog / Frankfurter jokes will not be tolerated ... we've heard them all - they are not all that funny the first time"
Sort of like you can't bring gum to Singapore ... no hot dog jokes in Frankfurt.
Well really the city's not Frankfurt, but 'the hot dog on the river.'

I'd bet my mortgage they have heard that one ...
Or just the Hot Dog on Main (thinking of it as a street instead of a river) lol
its endless.
Although I feel bad for Koln, they're a fragrance in english.
Österreich always reminds me of an Ostrich.
let us not forget Hamburg
