here's one....how about the government sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq--->yes our CF members are there too but that's on the down low.....shhhhh....and calling it a war on terrorism but when it comes to veteren's affairs they call it a police action, circumnavigating the issue of war veteren's benifits. The pay out to CF members if it was ratified in the house of commons as a WAR would be much larger..should the govn't not pay the members rising thier lives for what the govn't deems as a justifiable action? After all its not the citizens sending the troops there is it? yet its their tax dollars paying the troops, and companies who are appointed by the govn't btw to reconstruct the country. Shouldnt we have more of a say?

Getting killed isn't in my plans, and the dangers in Chernobyl and tensions in Kosovo aren't anywhere near the threat levels Belushi or AllenAqua have experienced.

I just want something more meaningful to see than just old churches, architectually strange buildings etc.

But my gosh! As I read Belushi's and AllenAqua's posts, I wonder what else to do with my life than just working from monday to friday.
Of course AllenAqua's experience isn't really something you'd wish to see though.

I havent stopped travelling and I meet new people every day.

Today I met an American and a German who work in Suez as engineers. On a 3-day break.
They live in Germany and come to Egypt three or four months at a time.

Cool guys. Going to be diving with them tomorrow before they head off to St Katherine's monastery to do the 5am sunrise thing
