    Hey Matt, these updates are fun, thanks for taking the time to write them up. I know what you mean about Costa Rica being too commercialized. I felt like I got there too late, and that was back in 2005. I'm heading back to Colombia for the rest of the year - lots of expats starting businesses there now as a way to live the good life before the word really gets out.

    Hey Peter, I've bumped you up to the $1,000 mark, so you're 10% there. I had an amazing time in Nepal back in 2008, and hope you're able to get there with this project and take some stunning photos. Good luck!
