Thanks for working on Morocco, I'm real happy to see those articles developed further. --Majnoona 16:45, 21 Jul 2004 (EDT)

Hey there. I just figured out what the asterisk next to the My Talk menu option means... you've got mail. No worries, just getting my feet wet on WikiTravel. -- Allyak 18:12, Aug 19, 2004 (EDT)

Hi. I'm not quite sure I understand the change you just made to Portugal which says 'Uncharacteristically, by European norms at least, rail travel in Portugal is often quicker and cheaper than travel by bus'. My experience is that rail travel is faster (but not necessarily cheaper) than travel by bus in many, if not most, European countries. -- Chris j wood 19:52, 18 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Good point. I think I'm still very much in an Eastern European travel mindset, where trains can take an inexplicably long time to get from A to B, for around 20% more money than travel by bus. But you're right, in Western European countries trains are usually faster, and in the case of High Speed Trains, much faster (and triple the price). Thanks for pointing this out and I'll remove the reference to price. -- Allyak 18:12, Aug 19, 2004 (EDT)

Excellent work on Iran! But since you obviously know a lot about the country, perhaps you could also work on the destination pages (Tehran etc) as well? Jpatokal 14:26, 21 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Thanks Jpatokal. I'll try and get around to it, but there is a lot to cover. -- Allyak 12:05, Oct 1, 2004 (EDT)
