Paste the above link into your address bar (I won't let me hyper link) and you will be given a great insight into what's waiting for you when you get to the states.
Just because it's possible to do things, doesn't mean that you should do them. It's like a video of medical ethics in practice... in reverse.

Hey guys!!
Sent some Pics we had of you and us to your other emails (deb don't think i got yours right-have to email me it again) Takes so long though-internet is sooo slow here, got more but will send them when I have another spare few hours!!
Well we've not had as much fun since you left..living with the folks says it all really hah, been painting the braai area the last few weeks-after swaziland we had a creative spell-send you pics when it's all done...looks more like that house of fire place now! crazy!
Apart from that I'm still setting up my shop venture and trying to make things for that...reckon i'll be home in the new year if not before! I miss my own flat!! We'll keep you guys updated and hope we meet up when you finally decide to go home yourselves. Looks like you guys are still having a blast-keep it up
Speak real soon
bye for now
Jem and Lee xx
And another one...
The message board has slowed down a little bit, so I thought I'd spice it up and get things going again:
Ellie
Hi Alec and Debs, your favourite cousin here, i don't really have anything funny or interesting to say, i just thought I'd let you know that i've been checking out your blog. Top stuff. Keep up the good work.
love Ellie
(P.S. as it is more likely I can get in touch with Caroline through this than reaching her any other way - text me back goddamn you!!)
Daniel
To everyone who has moved out of Hawthronside in the past 2 or so months,
I was there this weekend and it was great... Caroline was about for most of it and Mum and Dad and Grandma and Nana, all very good... we have pie and ice cream for desert you fools, and some lamb. Ha ha ha - I know you'll all be thinking of moving back now, but it's too late because I've made your bedroom into a ... gym.
See you soon.
Daniel
Hey both,
Nice pictures... although you seem to be getting a bit desperate for hits now, diving with sharks is only one small ramp away from jumping a shark, and the moment one of you does that it will all be over... you'll have to disband and start your own spin offs (Alec opens his own boxing gym called Stallion's in the hopes of finding and training the next heavyweight champion of the world only to have his dreams shattered with hilarious consequences when everyone thinks it's a gay friendly nightclub and spa. Guest starring John Ritter as Sammy the wise cracking janitor out to undermine Alec's best laid plans, and Susan Sarandon as Joan, the bank manager who wants to force Alec to sell the gym so she can make it into a car park. Directed by Matt Le Blank and only on Sky this season!).
Also - I'll send you the details of my friend Paula who is living in KL at the moment, she can give you loads of advice about where to go and things - she might also put you up if you're looking for a floor to crash on. I'll email you though, because you never post on your message board.
Mum and Dad and Nick and Sam were at the Birmingham Expo this weekend, apparently the craic was mighty - those retailers KNOW how to get down.
Caroline has been replaced by a computer which can accurately recreate her voice and mannerisms over the phone and on email. We have no other proof what she is alive because no one has seen her in weeks and weeks, I think she's secretly joined a religious cult and doesn't want to have to tell anyone. Which is fair enough. She was on the winning team in a pub quiz last night... putting her immense intellect and higher learning into practice. They won £60... and, by the sounds of the phone call, drank it (or injected it into their eyes or mixed it with ethanol and smoked it or whatever it is the crazy yoof of today does to pass the time).
Anyway - glad you're both well and having a good time. I'll send you that email.
Take it easy :)

Hey guys,
Hope all is well!
Just remembered about this site so Ive been spending my lunchtime look through your photo. They are amazing! it looks like you've done soo much already and having a great time, If I can copy them I'll try and use those pictures of shanty towns for my year 13's.
When I'm not planning lessons Ill get some time to read through more of your postcards, you've written a canny bit for each one so it might take some time.
I bet the weather is great down there!, we've been getting loads of rain and shorter days are coming now so it won't be surprising that my essex kids will become more and more out of control.
I ca't believe you've tried bungee jumping,I bet it was amazin!! Just a thought but in Australia im sure you could try skydiving and New Zealand is the home of extreme sports. Try that rolling down the hill in a hamster cage thing.
I'll be looking forward to reading your next postcard
Keep Well!
Tim

Also, I find it hard to believe that ANYONE would be the slightest bit interested at knowing anything about Take That. Alec, I'm looking at you.
Daniel
Ha ha - I sold their house and moved to Venezuela. The name Venezuela is believed to have originated from the cartographer Amerigo Vespucci who, together with Alonso de Ojeda, led a 1499 naval expedition along the northwestern coast (known today as the Gulf of Venezuale). On reaching the Gujira Penninsula, the crew observed the distinctive stilt villages (palafitos) that the indigenous Añu people had built over the water. This reminded Vespucci of the city of Venice("Venezia" in Italian) and as a result the region was named Veneziela; some argue this meant Little Venice and later evolved to "Venezuela". Other historians (notably Francisco Herrera Luque), noted that the suffix -zuela usually has a pejorative meaning in the Spanish language (mujerzuela, cazuela, etc.) and sustain the thesis that the name implied more the notion of a second-rate Venice. So now you know.

Hi there
Just been enjoying catching up on your pics and messages. We are still re bounding from the shock of your bunjee adventures our emotions are almost like they are attatched to a long piece of elastic and we have been stupid enough (or our emotions have ) to have jumped off a very high bridge.Boing. Ever so glad you are both keeping to your contractual obligations, signed at birth, not to do anything to jeopardise life or limb or cause parental angst. Cape town from one kilometre up looks very beautiful and the whales and dolphins look fantastic, although we both feel the weather doesn't look up to much, thought you were in Africa??
Lister had a look at your website whilst at work and told us Debbie had been swimimg with sharks (albeit in a cage ) and we have been telling lots of people about this. Having checked the website we now wonder if Lister was winding us up or alot more able to decipher truths from very little evidence.
On the family front, can report Judith has sold her house and Kathryn has a new job in Newcastle, Look out the north east of England, double aunty terrorism. We have sold our house and moved to Venezuela only joking.
Better end there we think. Look after your selves, continue to have a brilliant time," and be carefull out there"
