Dear Ms. Gönc,
I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a link exchange between our blogs. You have previously commented on mine, dwfglobalanarchywatch.wordpress.com, and I think there’s some overlap in the intended readership of our two sites.
Thank you,
Zac Maricondia

Dear Zac,
thank you for writing your blog (http://dwfanarchywatch.wordpress.com/)! It is always a pleasure to read your selection of newsworthy topics; recently I’ve read your contribution about cruise ships bringing tourists to the beaches of Haiti, and many of them don’t even realize that they are having a time of their life in one of the poorest and most dangerous countries in the world, don’t know they are on Haiti (as decribed in the book Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures), for them it is just anoter carribean beach. Cheers to human indifference!
