Anyway what is $100,000 is it US$ or AUZ$ or NZ$?

.. can we please get back on topic



AUZ$ ?? Is this some new currency that we haven't heard of? I knew Australia
is getting very Americanised but I didn't think that we have gone that far.


:-)

To avoid backtracking - either train from Moscow to Beijing; fly to HK; then
to India; then to Bangkok; then to Melbourne. or fly Moscow - India -
Thailand - Hong Kong - China - Melbourne - Suva - Auckland -
Santiago..................

Suva to Lima - I don't think so!!

Suva to Auckland - Yes!!
Auckland to either Santiago, Chile; or Buenos Aires! - Yes!

I'm thinking i'll fly to munich, then train to moscow, then fly to delhi,
fly to bejing, fly to hong kong, fly to bangkok, fly to melbourne, fly to
auckland, fly to suva, fly to lima, train to brazil fly to SA, fly to
egypt
and then fly back to the UK.

I'm estimating about a 2 year round-trip, working as and when I need/want
to.

Can anyone give me a rough budget and also point me in the right direction
as to where there are savings to be made?

Thanks
David

Americanised perhaps, but would that then be AUZ$ or AUS$ ?

AUZ$ would suggest to me that we have too many Kiwis here and they are
trying to take over "Our" dollar

The $ symbol is part of ASCII and will always work. The pound and euro
are
not, and require special treatment.

Right, the first letter of ASCII stands for *American*, after all.
;-)

And naturally we are bound to ascii.


Yup, don't you just *love* it!?

Sure. From London, take Ryanair to Poland, travel around Eastern
Europe by train down to Istanbul, tour Turkey by bus, then fly to
India. Spend time going around India by train, then fly to Bangkok.
Go by road and river through Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, then return
to Bangkok. Take a detour to a Thai island beach, and then return to
Bangkok for a flight to Australia. In Australia, you see the country
on an Australian airpass, and if you need cash at that point you work
for a few months and save money for the rest of your trip. Next, you
go to New Zealand, and then fly from Auckland to Santiago, Chile. From
Santiago you travel north through Bolivia and Peru winding up in Lima
where you fly back to London.

That's probably half the price of your initial itinerary, and would let
you experience several regions of the world, and tremendous cultural
and natural diversity.

Sounds like a nice soul-modifying trip. There is much saliva on my
keyboard!

See if this helps (in Outlook Express):

Tools - Options... - Send tab - News Sending Format - Plain Text
Settings. I *think* you have "Message format" set to "Uuencode". If so,
set it to "MIME", set "Encode text using:" to "None" and untic (i.e. do
*not* set) the "Allow 8-bit characters in headers" option.

If this works, then set your "Mail Sending Format" the same.

You're welcome! :-)

See my posting about Outlook Express, earlier today. Also your "From:"
line is not properly encoded (the 'o' with double-dot on top should be
encoded, but isn't).
