- That was a very good article saying how he knew they would kill him, but you have to stick up for justice - quoting the" I didn't help people then they came for me" poem

BUT " how about "when they came for the... etc You made a fuss so next they came for you, I kept my head down and I'm still alive fighting or justice in a low key way"

- If you knew they were going to kill him, then maybe he was foolish ... he should have been tactful and he would still be alive to help people.

- The BBC WS Forum programme keeps having some prett good stuff on, this week Bob Park was on - the main comment is in my My Ideas Blog

CS is completely different for women in India.

- Even before they arrive in a city men are sending them invites.
- yesterday I met up in Darjeeling with 3 Canadians 2 of them were girls traveling together ..

- I don't use it much in countries like India cos if I am going to a city... 10 days before I have to check the profiles then email 5 people 2 people say "I'm busy", 2 don't reply one says "maybe" ...It's much easier to arrive in a city and find a hotel for $3 but the 2 Canadian girls say they don't have to do this cos as soon as they log on in City 1 men notice this and email them saying "I see you are in City1, my city is 500Km away I invite you to stay with me" they say they get 4-5 invites each city they say.

- They say they have to be careful, but so far more than 10 times no problem.

- I just stayed here 3 nights at a hotel that one Member owns. Great location, but the hotel itself is pretty run down. The room they gave me had about 10 big faults .

- Now I moved to a normal backpackers,it's up a big hill, but the atmosphere is much better cos the are other travellers to exchange tips with. And it only costs 6Rm per day.

- actually seems a couple of men invited me, but one turned his phone off when I arrived in town .. Weird ... And I get few replies to the CS mails I send
