This isn't a travel piece, isn't documentary, is truly unique.

I just wanted to share a great site. Revisited it and it is truly amazing!!! Her perspective and honesty is revealing but mostly the images are stunning......also a good piece about the Orange Revolution . Look, read, enjoy. She has really made an important cultural/historic/ virtual document......comments appreciated.

Her trip wasn't exactly all she claimed it to be. The images are ostensibly authentic but she didn't travel through alone on a motorcycle as she claimed.

Thanks for the heads up!!! I was told about the site from a friend a few years ago. Happened on it again when researching something about the Orange Revolution......

Yeah, goes to show that the internet (and this also means Dave's ) is full of exaggeration/fabrication. Reminds me of an interesting story in the early days of email at Harvard . A couple of students didn't want to take the final law exam (not prepared). So they emailed the night before, classmates stating the exam was postponed/rescheduled. Most didn't show up and the administration HAD TO reschedule..... The point was that people believed the email because it was on a computer, sooooo official. If the same guys had slipped a note under their door, the students wouldn't have believe it. Used to show how because we see it on TV or the computer, we think it official and true. Ain't so. .........always be sceptical.

Thanks again .
