Did you get any chance to contribute by translating text?

[dennisgryn]

@stoyashot Thanks! Yeah the scenery is probably the best part of the job. Never got to translate, though. Would have been fun. But I'm sure they had a few things higher up on the priority list than translating the website into Russian :) Where are you from?

@dennisgryn Im from the Netherlands (or Holland as we know it). I would like to tell that I am 18 years old that the events in Egypt really opened my eyes to start and learn more about the history of the Middle East. These events and the damage I witnessed in Sarajevo (Bosnian War) really made me think about a lot of things and sparked my interest for history so I got a serious history book about the Middle East out of the library to maybe understand the world better. Its all so complicated.

@stoyashot Wow, while I was on the road, this stuff spread to 5 more countries :() And now looks like Jordan, too.

@stoyashot Haha and I really liked the humorous part with you in all the different types of terrain. Really beautiful landscapes in America. Hope to get to see it someday in my life!
