Name: Alan MacDonald Country: Waterford, Ireland Sent: 12.01 PM - 7/1 2001 Just a quick question. How did the media exposure on 2FM and TV3 help with your invitation list for Ireland? Hopefully you'll be able to stay longer and see more of our beautiful country :) rgds Alan
Name: Renate Country: Germany Sent: 7.28 AM - 7/1 2001 Have you ever read Bill Bryson´s travel reports? If not-it´s a must! I found a link to your site in the "Tomorrow" magazine...Your idea is great-a cool way to get to learn about people and countries-and about oneself! :-)

Name: julie Country: UK Sent: 8.36 PM - 6/29 2001 ALAN - let me tell you: you have a great little website j x
Name: Alan MacDonald Country: Waterford, Ireland Sent: 8.24 PM - 6/29 2001 Hi,
Its weird. I have a little website, and Ramon linked to it in his report on staying with me. Last Wednesday the hit counter was about 120, now its over 500. Which presented a problem, as the website was sort of just a placeholder, I mainly used the domain for an email address. Still, it was just the incentive I needed to put up a blogger. So, the initial post is up, its still a bit flaky, and I fully expect it to have me cursing over the weekend, but if anyone wants to look, its at http://www.alanmacdonald.com Now, its 20:26, I finished work at 18:30, and I'm /still here/ *sob*. Going home NOW! rgds

Name: Jim Country: Dublin,Ireland Sent: 12.59 PM - 6/29 2001 Ramon,
I was on the TV3 morning show on wednesday myself and the researchers couldn't believe that I was the guy you had stayed with. You're a total celebrity in Ireland now! I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, also. If you're in Dublin tonight, give me a call and we'll have a drink. My girlfriend's back from America and wants to meet you! All the best, Jim
Name: Siobhan Jackson Country: Ireland Sent: 10.43 PM - 6/28 2001 heard you talking to Gerry Ryan on the radio yesterday. Best of luck with your adventures. I would love to accomodate you but unfortunately have more children than space! Do try and visit Co. Wicklow which is not known as the Garden County of Ireland for nothing. I will treat you to a coffee and a snack if you visit Shankill! I will keep up to date with your website Good Luck again!

Name: Lynnie Country: Ireland Sent: 8.49 PM - 6/28 2001 Alan,
Almost expected to run into you today while shopping in Waterford. I will someday. Also expected to see Ramon on the road between Wexford and Waterford. Didn't :-( Keep warm and dry Ramon! Nice interview today. -Lynnie
Name: Shane Country: Ireland Sent: 7.38 PM - 6/28 2001 I heard your interview on the radio this morning with Gerry Ryan on 2FM and was intriqued by what you are doing. I have travelled the world extensively myself but always with plenty of local currency and a credit card or two!!! I must take my hat off to you for having the balls to do what youre doing.
Name: Alan MacDonald Country: Waterford, Ireland Sent: 2.24 PM - 6/28 2001 Hi,
Lynnie : Hmm, potato radio or orange clock? .oO(thinks) I dunno, I suppose a certain amount of roundness, a little soupcon of rotundity in my personal space is evident. However, I must point out that I am not bright orange, nor do I smell of clay. Apart from that, pretty accurate rgds Alan

Name: Lynnie Country: Ireland Sent: 9.10 PM - 6/27 2001 Alan,
Quit hogging Ramon and give him to me!
Ahem.
Now thats one I didn't get asked. so...
d)Underwear. Hmmm... No. I'm pretty sure I know now at this stage where they go. Otherwise i'd be getting strange looks when I walk down the street. Hey!
Wait a minute! rgds

Name: Wilma Country: Canada Sent: 6.09 PM - 6/27 2001 Hi Ramon! Message from a Dutchy in Vancouver. Just to let you know that this is a brilliant city. Make sure you get here one day. Unfortunately I won't be able to invite you since I have to leave this place in August. Unless you hurry up a bit..... Enjoy!
Name: Alan MacDonald Country: Waterford, Ireland Sent: 3.48 PM - 6/27 2001 Hi all!,
OK, in answer to a few questions I got at work today, which made me think that you lot are probably thinking the same things, I'd just like to point out that that's a towel on my head in the photograph,(http://www.letmestayforaday.com/photo/?id=774) and not: a) Whipped Cream. That would be a waste. Look carefully at the guy in the photograph. Consider the waistline. Do I look like someone who would put whipped cream on my head instead of eating it? b) A Plastic Bag. Come on. He's only staying a few days. I'm not suicidal. Yet! c) Shaving Foam. Sorry. I'm just not that weird. Honest. I hope that that clears up what I'm sure were a few very important questions that everyone had. rgds

Name: Jim Country: Dublin, Ireland Sent: 12.10 PM - 6/27 2001 My article about having Ramon stay for a day is published in the Evening Herald (Irish national newspaper) today. I think it was a first for me and for Ramon - for each of us it was the first time we had to write about someone we knew was going to write about us also! I hope loads of people read the article and invite Ramon to stay in Ireland longer. He's a great guy to have around! Look after yourself down in Waterford and get well soon, my friend.
Name: Sharlini Country: Malaysia Sent: 8.14 AM - 6/27 2001 Get well soon, Ramon! Don't worry about your reports, either...we'll be patient. =) Say, do you accept little gifts from hosts for yourself? Yes, I do understand that you may not be back home for years and you might be carrying more than you can bear if you did. I guess food is the best gift for someone with a project like yours. Take care, Ramon.
Hi, Zym in Singapore This is Ramon's project, so best he comments on the idea, and directs how his project is run. If he wants, I am willing to help out. Although I live in Durban, I am good mates with two DJs on a big radio station in Johannesburg (also SA), and have contacts in TV as well. Ramon, it's your call. Brian
Hi Ramon
Hey man, I really hope you are ok. Your illness, it's just a common cold, I hope. Nothing too serious. I s'pose that climatic changes will upset a person's immunity system, and bugs will wreck havoc for a couple of days. Keep warm, and take in lots of Vitamin C. Get well soon, and happy travels. I hope your host is compassionate and underastands your situation. Think of it as an experience... All the best, Brian
Name: Zym Country: Singapore Sent: 3.35 AM - 6/27 2001 To Brian from S.Africa - Maybe some international news network (like CNN)will be interested.If not,go for regional TV network(eg.we've Channel News Asia from Singapore to cover the asia section). Or we should seek Ramon's opinion on whether he wants to be spotted or have people chasing him down the streets.It may reduce traffic on the website,though.
Name: Lynnie Obermiller Country: Ireland Sent: 6.07 PM - 6/26 2001 Ramon,
Hope to see you soon,
S.N., Good question. I always ask if I could be allowed to smoke at somebody's place. I don't even look at ashtrays. And if people say NO, I totally respect that and WON'T smoke at all. I am not addicted, I think... Ramon.
Name: S.N. Country: MY Sent: 5.10 PM - 6/26 2001 Hi Ramon! If you don't see ashtrays in a house, do you get the hint and smoke outside? Or are you planning to quit? Just curious! =) Some people are particular about secondhand smoke...then again, if they were worried, would they invite you? Keep it up, Ramon! S.N.
Alan MacDonald, sitting right next to me right now: I was only criticising your taste in music because I heard that same CD for the third time this afternoon. Pictures of the last days are currently uploaded, stories are coming up. Just cooled down the keyboard with some fresh water. Fingers are hurting. And Canada? I think that'll take a while. I am not going more west now... Ramon.

Oh, and Nina, I do like your story about English. Really funny. go well, Ramon Brian

Name: Nina Sent: 9.18 PM - 6/25 2001 Lets face it: English is a terrible language. There is no egg in the eggplant, no ham in the hamburger and neither
We sometimes take English for granted. But if we examine its paradoxes we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth. If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher praught.
Why do people recite at a play, yet play at a recital? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down and in which you fill in a form by filling it out. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which of course isn't a race at all). That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible. And why it is that when I wind up my watch it starts but when I wind up this story it ends?
