Pls send me your journal for Paris and/or France trip. <BR> <BR>If you need any journal for Cologne, Bonn, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Cannes, Monaco, Pls let me know your email, I'll be send you my journal for above city.

Elaine and some others have (I think) the kind of "collected" personal notes ("journal" - - though perhaps not from one single trip) that they would probably be willing to send you. <BR> <BR>Despite my various trips to Paris (1969, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1998, 1999, 2000) I have no such personal collection myself - - but the following has the kind of compiled savvy info that anyone here would be proud to have written: <BR> <BR>http://www.nytimes.com/library/magaz...tra-paris.html <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Sorry, Charlie, I'd love to send you my numerous travel journals but they're going to be published by someone else. <BR> <BR>Which brings up the question, are you PAYING for submissions or looking for freebies? If the latter, I'd be very careful because there are a number of credentialed freelance writers on this site who will be after you in a second. We DO have laws here in the USA regarding the use of published material, and in fact they are incredibly detailed laws - you may not want to know about them, but you should have an attorney who does.

I did a double take when I saw his question, but then realized he didn'y really mean journal of writings.

"I'll be send you " <BR> <BR>I would not trust this man's writing

I'd like to hazard 3 guesses here. <BR>1. English is not the first poster's first language. <BR>2. He simply means trip reports -- no nefarious intent. [see #1] <BR>3. And that again we have been rude to someone who has the courage to post in a language that isn't their first.

I'm not sure if it's naivete, cultural/language differences, or something more suspect, but I sent my notes once to Charlie at his email request and received back a response that made me a bit uncomfortable.

Charlie: If I misjudged your post, my apologies. Because of my work, I am in the habit of reading publishers' (some of them nefarious) requests for travel journals and other writing, and I took this as such a request. I am also in the habit, though my work, of defending writers' needs to be well paid for their hard work. How about I send you my list of favorite restaurants in Paris? If you were simply looking for information on Paris, I'll include a sincere apology.

Thank you for all the letters. <BR>Rand, Rex, Stcirq... <BR> <BR>I mean that journal is can be opened to everybody. <BR>I already got a few journals of Bangkok, Paris and which was sented by persons who have no problem to share their journals. <BR>As you guess, Journal is same expression of private diary. <BR>I would like to share this private diary with others. <BR>Also want to share my special experience and information with others. <BR> <BR>Pls send me your private travel diary for any country and any place. <BR> <BR>Your early reply would be highly appreciated. <BR>

I'm going to step in and play translator here. <BR> <BR>The OP, Charlie Jeong, is Korean; sfowler is right on the money on all counts. All he's looking for is any travel journals that anyone on this board has been willing to share with others. The use of the term "private diary" should not be misinterpreted as sinister. He simply means personal journal. In an email to me, he said he enjoys both travel and reading about other people's travel experiences, a sentiment I think we all share--and one few of us could articulate in Korean. If you have a link to some of your own travel writing, you might want to post it here. <BR> <BR>Thanks.

thank you for your time and attention. <BR>Escritora <BR> <BR>Although I live in Korea now, I have been traveling a lot country. <BR> <BR>Switzerland, Germany, France, Monaco, <BR>USA. all is solo travel. <BR> <BR>I know lots of travel book, and web, <BR>nevertheless my feel is not sufficient <BR>travel information on books, webs. <BR> <BR>I always feel this thing after I really visit some place. <BR> <BR>but everytime I heard of some travel tips and experience from travellers, <BR>it was really helpful to me. <BR> <BR>because it's alive and up-to-date somethings. <BR> <BR>Everybook and web always says same points and same explanations, but indivisual travellers it's own diary tell me something new. <BR> <BR>if you agree with me, pls let me know any of your specific experiences and something different things than travel books are saying. <BR> <BR>all of your assist, would be highly appreciated. <BR> <BR>

Charlie, thank you for the offer ... could you email me your Heidelberg journal? My email address above is correct. <BR> <BR>Thank you!
