 		Looks like Diego has a video too. I e-mailed it to a friend of mine that I think knows Portuguese, hopefully he can translate it.

Maybe we could called them Olympians?

 		MeiHui Video Loose Translation
According to grumpyboy, Mei Hui is speaking Mandarin Chinese, and talks about waking up in a cave near Kunming China, three weeks ago. She runs out of the cave into a park and feels really scared, but the scared feeling fades away. People ask her what's wrong, what's her name, does she have friends nearby. Then she felt her arm and found the tattoo. She thought it strange, and thought it meant she was sick or with disease. Somebody said, no she's not sick and later found out the tattoo meant "find the lost ring". Then she says something about being an athlete. She wonders if she got lost or was forgotten or if she is the lost ring. She wonders if there are others like her, and is she suppose to find them or are they suppose to find her. She wonders if there is anything she is suppose to do, to help them find her. She says, if you have any clues or info, please contact me

gb said he would have a friend who speaks Mandarin Chinese look at it tomorrow, if need be.

I'm thinking there are only 10 photos - in the photos section I list the photos as people have linked to, and there only seems to be 10 unique photos. there may be typos in some peoples' descriptions if the letters/numbers were mis-read, but if the photo's the same, it's the same one.
I'm just missing an image of one of minkette's photos. (and I know you've got more recipients listed, I'm just focusing on the contents themselves now)


I'm betting Minkette's is really "XAARI024".
I too, think there are 10 pics.
A copy of "RAAIM055" can be found on kosmopol's blogspot

 		Renata's Necklace
Found this at http://www.findthelostring.com/ariadne/detail.do?postId=1032

Um dia Renata me implorou para irmos viajar. Fizemos nossa mochila e pegamos o ônibus para Goiás Velho. Foi uma das melhores viagens que já fiz. Ria o tempo todo das bobeiras dela. Tivemos até que correr atrás do ônibus porque ela gostava de explorar a vegetação em volta de todas as paradas. Renata acordava cedo e ia "hiking" toda manhã. Um dia ela desapareceu no Cerrado. Esse é o colar que dei pra ela. Renata o adorava e o usava o tempo todo. Eu sei que ela não o deixaria pra trás. Será que ela estava tentando me falar algo? I can't believe she would just leave with no explanation!

I'm pretty sure the first "X" in "XXAARI024" is a picture artifact. Could someone with a hard copy give it a good scan?


Here's a closeup scan of that card. The first "X" doesn't look like an artifact, but it also doesn't quite look like the second "X". Hmmmm....

 		jjason, I think someone posted that video before (not portuguese - spanish). But thanks to seeing that again, I found Diego's email: malabar.diegoSPLATgmail.com. I'm emailing him right now.

EDIT: are there any translations of Diego's video. If not, I can get that done in a few minutes.

ah, good point... yeah, XXAARI024 makes sense, as it's already been found; and that makes K=X and H=R (easy mis-reads)

tnx for kosmopol's link

Link seems to have been taken down? Anyway, babelfish translation of the Portugese:
Quote:
One day Renata begged me to go to travel. We made our knapsack and we catch the bus for Old Goiás. She was one of the best trips that already I made. The time of the bobeiras of it laughs all. We had until to run behind the bus because it liked to explore the vegetation in return of all the stops. Renata woke up early and went "hiking" all morning. One day it disappeared in the Open pasture. This is the necklace that I gave pra it. Renata adored it and it used it the time all. I know that it it would not leave pra backwards. He will be that it was trying to say something to me?


Google translation:

 		Diego's video rough translation (please trout me if it's been done):
Quote:
hi how are you? i'm diego and well, they say it's diego, because I don't know my real name. The truth is I woke up a few days ago with amnesia, without knowing anything about me, in a labirynth with a my eyes blindfolded, and I had no idea where I was or what was going on. The only clue i have is this tatoo in my arm, which says "trovu la ringon perditan", which i don't know what it is or what it means, so I'm asking for help. If anyone saw me, or know who I am, if anyone recognizes me or as anything about me, any data, or what meanstrovu la ringon perditan, i request you help me. Anything you may know, say it to me, write me, contact me, whatever, because this, i don't know what's happening to me, so, well, thank you.

 		sent an email to Markus via flickr mail in my rough German, got this in reply:
Quote:
Die Seite haben mir ein paar Leute gezeigt, ich finde es
echt toll das so viele Leute probieren mir zu helfen.

Finden sie es nicht wahnsinnig, das es andere Leute gibt
die die gleiche Tätowierung wie ich tragen und in genau
den gleichen Umständen aufgetaucht sind wie ich? Ich kann
es immer noch nicht so ganz glauben...

Vielen Dank für Ihre Email, ich wunder mich, haben sie
vielleicht irgend etwas ungewöhnliches am 12 Februar
gesehen da sie in der Nähe von mir wohnen?

google machine translates:
Quote:
The site gave me a couple of people demonstrated, I think it's really great that so many people try to help me.

Find it not insane that it gives other people the same tattoo as I bear in exactly the same circumstances as I appeared? I still can not quite believe ...

Thank you for your email, I wonder myself, so maybe something unusual on Feb. 12 seen as they near me live?

Probably that the PMs are hiding all the OOG content y'all found? Very Happy

/methinks its the gag reflex to pre-written content discovery.

 		How stupid am I: in Diego's profile in Hi5 there are pictures of when he woke up and it's like a pijamas (should have seen that before I emailed him). Also to note, he says when he stops to rest for a bit, he starts drawing a maze, he doens't seem to be able to get that out of his head:
http://www.hi5.com/friend/photos/displayPhotoUser.do?photoId=1275918715&ownerId=201448994&albumId=154477842
http://www.hi5.com/friend/photos/displayPhotoUser.do?photoId=1275918714&ownerId=201448994&albumId=154477842

Mr. Toasty, where did you find that? I can't see it. Anyway, I don't know if it's important, but that's brazillian portuguese (as opposite to portuguese from Portugal). There are slight differences, both in writing and oral form - kind of like the difference between american english, and british one.
