Soon you can order the troops to start the invasion on the rest of Europe from both flanks.<br />I just found your Blog last week and let me just say THANK YOU!<br />I'm an expat and a couchsurfer/host and so far your tales have enthralled me and comforted me but above all they have made my sides hurt!<br />I don't remember the last time something I read made me laugh out loud, so when my flatmates came up to me last week and asked who I was hiding in my room, I was afraid that my inner House of Commons had revolted and gone external. -Luckily they were just referring to the fact that they had heard me laugh like a hyena ( they didn't say that- they are much too polite to say that, their words were 'like a hamster on speed') in my room, all afternoon.<br />I don't thnk that they believed me when I told them about the funny guy from a tiny island in the Pacific, but maybe they did and I have provided you with a couple of more followers or you have provided me with a non existent secret 'funny guy' hidden in my 10sqm room. In any case: a win win situation!

You are a total treasure. You have such a wonderful sense of humor and have the unique ability to distract your readers from whatever is on their mind and just allow us to laugh with you. Thank you for these wonderful, absolutely hilarious posts, and I hope you are doing well in Palau. You are really an amazing person.<br />Please keep on writing!

The...You know what I like about this blog the most? The fact that you have such a strong faith - so much so that it's taken you halfway around the world, yet you are so friggin' funny. It always makes me laugh when people say things to me like, "You're a Christian!? But, you're so funny and normal," like I should be churning my own butter with a doily on my head not smiling at anything (and no offense meant to those that express their faith that way, it's just not common around here). I like that you find such humor in the life that God has given you and that you just keep it going and live day to day making yourself laugh and others and actually ENJOYING who you are and what you do. People just don't seem to equate that with loving and serving God, and it's just gosh-durn incredible that you do! So, er, thanks.
