Please, I am going to the Puerto Moreno in 4 days. I am strongly considering the “Big Ice” tour. I am 30 years old and in good shape. I am also a photographer and want to get the most amazing photos possible. Do you get to go inside any ice caves on the “Big Ice” trek ? Please let me know how it was and any advice or tips would be highly appriciate. Also how much did they charge you ??

Comment on I hate Twitter by Anthony Halpin

This is one of the best blogs I’ve read in ages. I became aware of twitter recently when I wrote about a business plan and the author of the plan read it, and didn’t like what he read. Then began a little hate campaign on Twitter ( still going strong ) which was aimed at my website and has seen traffic to my website increase no end!

Leave aside this unintended favour they’ve done for me, it quickly became apparent that ( just as you suggest ) here we have people 1/ with a lot of time on their hands, and 2/ who are attention hoares. It’s sad really. It makes one wonder if the name should be spelled Twit – ter.

I’m glad you made it down alright! haha
Not going to lie, your face as you’re falling backwards out of the plane is, priceless. (:

I have a teacher that lived in Brazil for a while. He says the trick is to carry two wallets; one that is hidden, and one to give to muggers. Apparently there are routine kidnappings and all sorts of shady stuff going on down there.

Well, São Paulo could be as dangerous as any other place in the world, like Oakland or South Central.

The major difference between most of the third-world countries is that they don’t have an “east-side” where people don’t go there, and they don’t go after you. That’s a challenge with million people cities with tons of people with really low income.

regardless, it all comes down to: who you’re with and how much those people know the city. Sure bad luck IS a factor, but most of it is common-sense and avoid problems.
I am sure everyone in the conference who hangout with us felt pretty safe.

Wow, wish I’d known about that when I was living there… I think I still have my old bip card around someplace…

Comment on A good idea by Steve

As a future librarian, I concur that this is a great idea. They could do this at a few central locations- even in Chicago if they just had one at Clark & Lake or Roosevelt or a few other stations that are big transfer points where a lot of lines converge.
