Dear Ramon,


I missed you in Copenhagen airport! When where you there? I was stuck there for four hours on Tuesday afternoon and met one of my neighbours in the departure lounge - aparrently it's voted the best airport in the world, though I don't know why...

I can't believe it! It seems I have missed Ramon on Radio 2 with Steve Wright, according to a couple of messages on the messageboard!!!!!! We had ramon staying here with us, as a result of hearing about him on Steve Wright!!!! I even e-mailed Steve and Miles Mendoza who does the website of the day on his show!!!!! and now I've missed Ramon finally getting on the programme! Please Ramon, if possible put a recording on the site, as Sylvia suggested.

I would also like to acknowledge we enjoyed meeting Ramon, and wouldn't hesitate to have him back again.

I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I think what Ramon is doing is amazing & I only wish I could do something similar. My criticism was of the reporter in our local newspaper who described Ramon as a confidence trickster. I have absolutely no criticism of Ramon whatsoever. Like yourselves, my family enjoyed his visit immensely and I have written a letter to that effect to my local newspaper describing their reporter as a narrow minded conservative person who's attitude does nothing to promote N. Ireland as a beautiful, and believe it or not, welcoming society. I suggest that you and others e-mail the newspaper (The Mourne Observer) at mobserver@btinternet.com and share with them your own positive experiences of having Ramon to stay.
Cheers,
Carol

Hello all,


We too welcomed Ramon for a day up here in Scotland, in July, and as most other hosts have said, we really enjoyed his company and found him to be a charming, very open, honest, friendly guy who we wished could have stayed for a week instead of just a day. We found it was very easy to soon become very fond of Ramon and also to become protective of him. I can't believe that anyone who was fortunate enough to have him to stay could say anything negative about him and he would be VERY welcome back here at any time.

His parents are probably a bit worried about him travelling around and staying with people who he knows nothing about,and although they don't know him either, through the website they will have been able to learn so much about Ramon and see by the photos of himself that he is a lovely smiley guy and his parents should be immensely proud of him.

Good Luck Ramon, we will always remember you with great fondness.

Hi all, Ramon stayed with me for 3 days last week and it was a time I will remember always. The experience was worth it's weight in gold and also gives REAL people a chance to show that hospitality and the better side of human nature still exists in this modern world. Ramon is a great guy, and grab the chance to have him stay, it restores your faith in human kind. The negative comments I see here say so much about the people writing them and little about Ramon, they need to get some help rekindle their faith in human nature.

We just waved off Ramon to the airport today - he's been here for three days. He is neither lazy nor a confidence trickster as described in the post below. I think a better description would be to call Ramon a free spirit - you would have to be to do this project.

Ramon was a good guest and was fun to have around. He has interersting opininons and principles and is very switched on. His character will allow him to learn a lot from his travels. You are welcome back any time Ramon.

Hi Ramon and anyone else reading this, I told you you made the front page of our local newspaper after you stayed with us, well last week, the newspaper's cross channel correspondent, Peter Burns wrote a letter saying how you were nothing but a 'lazy devil' and 'confidence trickster'. He also said that your hosts were 'mugs', taken for a ride. I was highly offended to be described as a mug as I consider myself to be a discerning person and wrote a stinker of a letter to the newspaper in reply. It's due for publication this wednesday so it'll be interesting to see if it'll be included. Anyway, I suggest that any other of you past hosts out there also contact this newspaper by e-mail, their address is mobserver@btinternet.com and voice your opinions.


The editor invited a response to the letter so he'd be more than surprised if that response came from abroad as this is strictly a local newspaper.
Good luck Ramon. It embarasses me as an Irish woman that your stay in Ealing was tinged by the negative experience of a RIRA bomb. These people are mindless thugs and in no way represent the feelings of the average Irish person.
Good Luck,
Carol.

Keri, I kinda curious how you're going to make up to living in that seems to be a huge invisible oven. In some part of the world, its getting hotter and hotter. No thanks to a few ignorants and greeds.

Ramon, I agreed that withdrawal symptoms are prematurely taking effect - only for time being, but I'll stay as it's part of the project atmosphere.
Keep going young man!

Hi all


Keri, those temperatures are in Celcius. 20 degrees C = 68 Degrees F, and 30C = 86F. For the rest, 115F = 46C! Keri, you must be kidding! It can't be that hot! I s'pose, you are in a desert... Durban gets to upper 30's in summer, with humidity that makes it feel like 45 to 50 C, so I know how you feel. We get it in Feb/Mar for about 3 weeks. (Ramon, try to get here before then...)

Ramon, I really hope you teeth sort themselves out soon. How do you eat when you have painful teeth? For days after a filling my teeth hurt like hell. I have pity on you, but I know you'll make it, because you are strong!

Keep on going, Ramon.

Anyway, those who really want to read reports and look at the pictures of the last days really have to wait a while, because the last few days I couldn't use an (or a steady) internet connection.

So with a few days behind in reporting, I hope one of my next hosts have some spare time to have me hooked on the web for a while...

Ramon has left the building.


We had Ramon staying with us for 2 days. Ramon requires 200 gram bread, 4dl milk, 350 gram chicken with assorted vegetables and rice/potatoes for optimum performance. At least 8 hours rest is recommended. Ramon is easy to clean and realtively self-entertaining.
We recommend people to try out Ramon for a day or so yourselves, as there is no money-back guarantee. The satisfaction guarantee is still valid, though.
