Esperanto opens the world to friendship. English speakers will not understand the meaning of egalitarian friendship with its neighbors, near and far. We sadly will be returning to more and more wars, when Esperanto is part of an answer to a problem in international relations that returns generation after generation. Learn your history and act now.

I really liked the pictures in this post, what a great expression you have captured on that little girl's face. I read that you are planning a trip to Central Asia, I personally think it is a very interesting region, you can check out my posts about a trip to Central Asia here: http://travelicious.dk/ there are a post about Bishkek - the capital of Kyrgyzstan and one about the Silk Road cities of Uzbekistan. Soon I'll put on up about the mountains in Kyrgyzstan. Maybe a bit of inspirational reading :-) Hi Dave and Deb, I have been following your blog for a while now, great reading!

Life is measured by how much we give not how much we take. It is great to see people like Dave and Deb pursue their own goals and contribute. Too often the focus of personal development and lifestyle design seems to be to do as little work as possible. I think we should be working as hard as we can to try and leave the world a little better. @Brian English is the universal language because it is common (Entertainment, Business, Sports, science, etc.) NOT because it is easy to learn. How easy or efficient Esperanto may be to learn doesn't diminish the fact the English is now the most commonly used and studied language in the world. Perhaps I will change my mind when I see street signs and menus in Esperanto. Have you seen any? I agree that it is important to give back. Life is measured by how much we give not how much we take.

I definitely did not mean to imply that everyone must speak English, however many countries have English as a Second Language course because it does open doors to a lot of opportunities. Thanks for the comment and I will check out those links! Cheers. Yes you are right, I should have clarified that English is very useful for tourism.
