Hei på dere! Denne turen er bevis på meget bra prioritering, Helene og Eirik. Ønsker dere en kjempefin tur, kjør forsiktig og husk at de små detaljene er like viktige som de store attraksjonene. Anya, Thomas, Hennie og jeg kom akkurat tilbake fra Singapore og Indonesia, – en altfor kort tur dessverre.

By the way, you both are very talented writers. This blog must become a book. Trilingual, if possible.

Here in Brazil we order by litres or by the ammount of money. Usually the second method, if you don’t have much cash. There’s no self service in gas stations. Most of the new cars are bi-fuel – gasoline and alcohol (etanol). So, you must say which one you want. A hint to choose: it’s worth to put alcohol only if its price is more than 30% cheaper than gasoline. This is because alcohol burns 30% quickly. About performance: alcohol gives more power to the engine (not too big difference though), but less autonomy. So, if the price is equivalent and you need to take the road, better use gasoline.

Chère Eirik, continue. Moi je suis aussi à ma dose de votre blog. Le grand canyon était notre histoire avant le coucher hier. On se sent un peu plus proche et cela nous rėjouit de vous lire et de faire l’expėrience de votre voyage par vos photos.

“broken a cultural code so ingrained here that no-one probably ever thought about it.”

yep, some of us old timers *do* think about it. “back in the day”, gas *was* ordered by the quantity… often, “fill ‘er up”. (“back in the day”, gas was 25 cents a gallon so filling it up didn’t require taking out a second mortgage to complete the transaction.)

“On top of that, the lady was evidently not first in her class in multiplication.”
newsflash – she works @ a gas station.

i check your blog every day and **love** the photos and narrative – keep up the good work! (and, of course, continued discoveries and enjoyment)
