Cinecitta is not the best pizza in town. Fact. Update your website. -Bryan I., San Francisco, CA.
We appreciate your comment, but would prefer an actual suggestion. And your favorite Domino's does not count. |
Were St. Patrick and St. Ignatius friends? Maaren B., San Francisco, CA
Short answer: No. The first one died around 500 AD the other a thousand years later in 1556. It is possible that they have met at some SaintCon in Heaven. Our feeling is that these two would not get along greatly. We're of course partial to the Spaniard, but how could one not like a saint sponsored by Guinness? Apparently there are only two known written letters from the Irish saint, while there are over 7000 letters in Rome from Inigo Lopez de Loyola, so we have a better sense of St. Ignatius. |

Dear Hello Good Times-
I am planning a summer golf trip to Kazakhstan, and I booked a flight that has a 3 day lay-over in Qumar. I googled Qumar, and for some reason, yours was the only website to come up. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to spend my time there (museums, amusement parks, swimming with dolphins, etc.) or if you suggest trying for a direct flight. Your website was a life-saver for my trip to Billings, so I know I can trust any recommendations you may have. Thanks so much, Bryan, E.Bay, CA Jagshemash Bryan- |

Dear Hello Good Times, Hope your travels are full of good times and on schedule flights. I am traveling to Holland in May and wondered whether you know of a good hotel in Amsterdam? Jeanne E. Ask and you shall receive: |

Dear HelloGoodTimes-
I know the folks at HelloGoodTimes are widely considered to be "first-class global trailblazers". Have you ever blazed one of these trails? thrillingwonder.blogspot.com Best, Keri M., Boston, MA Dearest Keri- We fortunately have not been stuck in any of these roads. However, any survivors of "Colombia '99" can't forget the hairy ride from Bogota-Neiva (although the road-side vendors turned out to be scarier than the precipices!) |

Dear HGT- When browsing the newly updated HGT site, I rolled my cursor over the world map on the "Cities" page, highly impressed with your global reach. However, to my dismay, the fine city of Maastricht, Netherlands has been mislabeled as "Maastricht, Denmark". EGADS! Please change immediately before you spiral the residents into an identity crisis! This comment is not to take away from the depth and breadth of knowledge found on the site. The new "look and feel" is great. Nice job! Best wishes from Boston, Keri M. Dear Eagle-eyes in need of a hobby- |

Dear HelloGoodTimes: I found your review of How to be a Canadian very interesting and it's on my list of things to read so I'll know what these 2 guys think I should be, as I happen to be Canadian. I'd also like to comment that in this day an age a book that makes one the target of pointed stares in an airplane, train or waiting area because you're laughing out loud, is a very good thing. You might also consider resisting the temptation to throw your ice cubes over the seat in front if you want them to stop staring; just a thought. Your comment about Chapter 14 may apply to any country's government. In fact, the use of the word 'work' and 'government' together in any context is an oxymoron. We are not all thick and obtuse in Canada, but many of us do like our 2-storey igloos with central air. I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones whose seen the beauty of the Rockies, the Canadian Shield, PEI, Cornerbrook, the shy moose and experienced many of the truths soft and hard of this country. Having lived in a few other countries I can say without a doubt that Canada is not perfect or even close. We spend too much time excusing ourselves to the rest of the world and I'm sure this helps with our reputation as the happy 51st brother of our neighbour to the south (you'll notice we even spell funny). On the flip side, we know how to have a good time even when the temperature drops to minus 30 and it's well worth a visit up north! Keep up the reviews and the fun! Maid 'n Canada eh.

Excellent 'War and Peace' book review. Thank you saving hundreds of hours of my life which I can redirect to the important things in life like drinking, sleeping, eating excessively, pornography and jousting in my courtyard. I particularly enjoyed your analogies to our current day dilemma, although you should come clean that you had a ghost writer produce your review. Warm wishes, John K., Tampa, FL |

Dear HelloGoodTimes: So I thought about making a Smooth Colombian on the weekend. Still can't come to grips with the Coffee(Kahlua)/OJ mix. Love'em both. Drink'em every morning. Just not mixed together. Level with me. Is this a drink I need to try? After finally trying it, this curious canuck sent the following message: "Muy Bueno!" Tom O., Winnipeg, MB |

Dearest Hello Good Times Persons,
I've recently developed an itch soooooooooo private and painful (but in a good way ) that I was wondering if it was Ok and safe to rub up against a fellow employee? Would this be considered rude, in my old country this was a welcomed form of greeting with or without a rash/itch. Warm regards, Larry K., Louisville, CO Dear Itchy Pants- |
