<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.18px;">We bade goodbye </span><span style="line-height: 18.17px;">to</span><span style="line-height: 18.18px;"> Mr Wang who was a paramount figure in ensuring the group still advance even after numerous counts of misfortunes. Ironically as our official guide, he spent half the time not being with us but in hospitals, police stations, vehicle inspection </span><span style="line-height: 18.17px;">centers </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.17px;">amongst a few places</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.17px;">and then after, in numerous modes of public transportation exhaustively trying to reconcile with the team. He could have easily point his finger on us and blame it on our riding styles instead of luck but in his most accurate statement which I recalled, " Don't worry Ibrahim, it is my job to help you guys. I will settle this problem, You continue with my driver but be careful". Those proved to be most re-assuring when calamity took place and the setbacks piled up one after another resulting in undesirable casualties. He is not one who goes by the itinerary religiously but gives variance in times when preference is a privilege but he does on critical times when needed, stressed that other alternatives are not an option. In short, this 2nd acquaintanceship with him re affirmed my perception of him being honest, direct and realistic.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 18.17px;">Of all the 6 Chinese province, The Autonomous Region of Xizang or Tibet must be one most lawful and authoritative territory. Apart from the various permits, our activities are closely monitored as well. When we arrived hotel the previous night, soon after, two police officers turned up to check on us. Even for fuel refilling, all consumers are required to register with the district police before they are allowed to buy petrol. They are normally located at the entrance of the kiosk under a makeshift tent. Time consuming in my opinion. Park vehicle near the entrance, register with the police, look for a can, walk to kiosk with can, fill up, pay up, walk back to vehicle and refill. Most of the time, you are only able to find 2 cans at most. 3 on few occasions. And a full can is not sufficient to fill up the entire tank on our bikes. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were supposed to cover a
distance of 194 km with about 100 km off road. However, our guide brought us to
the south gate route which is longer but with only 70 km off road thinking this will save us time. But the treacherous trail was packed with plentiful huge rocks. Most times, I was strenuously trying to keep the bike upright and only managing low speed travels on this highly demanding terrain. Fatigue sets in fast on this grave backbreaking trails and the thin air contributed a significant extent to that as well. I was lucky but few others took some heavy punch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One third to the end of the journey to the Everest Base Camp, I was travelling alone. The harsh terrain strategize everyone to ride at their own pace for fearing of tipping over. At this stage, lifting the bike would be a distressing ordeal. Even getting off the bike begs for hard gasping of air. There was a point, out of a sudden, the lethargy, faintness and exhaustion brought out fear. I was anxious if I was on a right track. There seemed to be no road at a certain junction and it was all 'bash through' protocol. We were stringing along the cable lines atop that should lead to the base camp. Until a tiny settlement, I was uttering 'Qomolangma' to the locals and they nodded in affirmation that I was on the right path. </span></div>

I took some time to admire the beauty and reflect on the conquest. Thanked the Creator a million times for my witness of his alluring grand accessory. In my own words, it's orgasmic. The military officer reminded me that it's still another 5 km before i arrived Qomolangma Base Camp or famously known as Mount Everest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We left base camp by 10 am. This time we took the north gate which was about
100 km off road but more manageable. We took about 4 hrs to clear that route.
After that, there was another 244 km of good road to Zhangmu Pass. The whole
ride took us to an elevation of 5035 m passing through 5 mountains along the way with the prospect of spectacular scenes. We also had to go through a total of 4 police and military checkpoint. Quite stringent in Tibet. Some significant jaw dropping backdrops as we took the north gate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Today would be the final leg of our ride which covers the crossing of China - Nepal border and ends in Kathmandu. Prior to the trip, I spent an extensive amount of time inquisition for regulations of foreign vehicles entering Nepal. Most websites mentioned the need to carry one but i had a couple of friends who entered the same border equipped with it but was not asked for. There's one which mentioned it is only recommended but not necessary to have. A call with Automobile Association of Singapore suggested we get one but knowing the ridiculous amount we have to deposit for it, an acquisition of CdP is not an option. But finally after a couple of months, i managed to get hold of a 600 over pages of Nepalese Immigration Import Regulations which confirms that a foreign vehicle entering Nepal without a CdP requires to fulfill their temporary import regularities which includes paying a small fee. So i got it printed out and brought them along. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Morning was a busy day for 2 riders as they look for workshop in hope to get the bikes running. But as expected nowhere in Zhangmu carries a tire for the GSA and a fuel pump for the Dakar. So up the lorry they went again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: large;">The first
30km of our route was a badly damaged road. After this stretch, the road was
paved but with lots of potholes. The ride from Kodari border to Kathmandu
brought us through villages along the fast flowing rivers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Totally different vibes in Nepal. Language, outfits, habits and contrasting cultures. Hotel Nana was recommended by the 8 man group who scouted well for this place. We spent the morning having roof top breakfast while waiting for a shipping agent whom I contacted before departure. He was coming in to take measurements on our bikes for crating.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Liang must be the most disciplined individual in the team. Being the oldest, he's the most fittest too. Never heard him raise a voice. Always calm. Puts me at ease many a times. At some point he was our recce team. But that team consist of only 1 man. The amount of assistance he provided was measureless. Super guy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Shahreel rides a mammoth for this trip, his </span><span style="font-size: large;">1150GSA. Seeing him soar gracefully amazes me. An average joe who is passionate. Always accepting, always accomodating.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He's cheery, he's carefree, he's happy go lucky. Recorded the most number of drops, some of them were nasty but he didn't care. He pledged on 'let's enjoy the ride, deal with problems when they come'. He's a good cook as well. Hazrin made some of the best noodles I've tasted. I lied actually.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Kaz's 2nd trip into China. One of the main marker and he did a splendid job in keeping the team as close as possible. Let down by some technical issues but most times he perseveres on. He will remember Tibet for the rest of his time. All for the wrong reasons.</span><br />

He picked himself up instantaneously and pressed on with great determination. Never been past Malaysia on his bike, he achieved multiple breakthroughs in 42 days. His enormous courage pulled him through to the finish line. Two thumbs up for him.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Anwar must be one of the key figures during the preparation stage. He was ever so present and ever so committed since day 1. His passion for adventure touring is admirable. Throughout the journey, he squeezed painstaking time to record our daily accounts during the 42 days. You can check out his wonderful videos he's pieced together. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The biggest smile bearer among all. Being one of the 2 Mandarin speaking member of the team, needless to say, Dennis' main appointment was communication. He managed to cut down time significantly with his proficiency in the language. And he's been patience with the team himself responding to every request from them with translation. A businessman, he questioned every cost to ensure we were fairly charged. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another technical savvy individual. He lead the team with purchases of parts during the initial stage. Dealer for rim's tubeless conversion, Outex and having affiliation with Heidanau tire distributor as well as juggling between day job and part time studies, he handled the logistic needs comfortably. His commitment during the trip was unquestionable. His bike clocked more mileage than others having to retract back whenever he was needed. And every time he readily obliged. He proved many people wrong when outsiders warned about his possible attitude. His involvement was top notch.</span><br />

He's adventurous and handles his ride ever so comfortably. </span><span style="font-size: large;">His talent with tie downs was essential in ensuring the bikes stayed upright during transportation time. </span><span style="font-size: large;">A well mannered individual by nature, he's the team's anchorman and was often overlooking and offering assistance. But when he's not, he's mostly cam whoring.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Farook or fondly known as Kachuak defines the term endurance and will power. Traveling along with the big trallies, we often forgot he was on a 135 cc bike. Many consistently question the decision to allow them to tag along suggesting slowing down of the convoy. Kachuak rode along instead. He never got intimidated for that matter. He deserves my biggest applause. Packs humour, he provides laughter with his jokes and eccentrics. Oh, and he sings too.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm always lost for words when it comes to Ejat, He impressed everyone with his attributes. He lead by example and his presence provides assurance and confidence to the rest. He somehow had those. We all suspected that he possesses the lungs of 2 horses and always seen on spots where help was needed, most times keeping positive minds. He's optimistic, always ready and ever so effervescent. Many of us depended on him for confidence boosting. My hats off to this guy and no unfairness to the rest, but he's everybody's man of the match.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a good team. I owe a lot to them for this completion. Their spirit, endurance, brotherhood. On many occasion, I learnt a thing or two from these chaps. They even managed to put on their biggest smile after 16 hours of ride through 360 km of off-road. They offer whatever they have in times of distress. They put the needs of others before theirs. We had frequent change of plans due to many unwanted events and not once they voiced any unhappiness. Often, we compromised quickly. My job was made easy by these brothers who understands the concept of group adventure touring. As for me, these guys did most of my jobs. These guys are my Kashgar heroes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was an extremely a great journey. Seen plenty through that non tourist route that makes me ever so grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to witness His creation on the other side of the world, to realize the values of life and what He has given to me and my family, to appreciate them, my loved ones and being loved by them. I don't have that much money but He made me realized that I have much more than what money can give me. I am sure these have been said a lot from the wise ones, but hearing is different from believing. I'm rich enough with those virtues and blessings upon me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw children walking miles and miles to get to school. We rarely see that in Singapore, as most of them would have a seat in a school bus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw children using scrap yard items as toys. In Singapore, we have futuristic playgrounds with parents or domestic helpers supervising.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw mothers tending to a push cart stalls with toddlers playing underneath.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw a family of father and daughter living off their car selling vegetables by the roadside. In Singapore, they would be referred to Ministry of Community Services.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw a house with just 1 single wall for the occupants to lean on. The other 3. Was not constructed in the first place. In Singapore, it's not fit to be called one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was an eye opener for most if not all of us. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I pen this, we already had some fair share of criticism on how we 'cheated' because the bikes flew home. That we truck load the bikes on certain stretch, that the accidents could have been avoided with proper planning. Funny that these were coming from people that have never been there or were not there. Yes of course I appreciate suggestions, but to be fair they didn't sound like one to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I must admit there seem to be some form of 'sickness' in the biking community. They seemed eager to condemn and discredit. To be honest, I saw this coming all along. Before the trip I reminded the rest that we are not there to outdo anyone or prove anybody wrong. Whatever that we have and will achieve, many others have done more. On the final meet up before the trip, everybody was cautioned that the itinerary that was presented was only served as a guideline. There are many factors that may prevent all of us from accomplishing. 3 didn't make it. And it was never their fault.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once home, everyone was congratulated but I was compelled to remind us again that we do not come back as champions or masters and this triumph should never put us above everyone else. On the other hand, these wonderful guys deserves some bragging rights. They earned it. For most of us including myself, it was a dream being fulfilled. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> I ride not for fame. I don't ride to get status. I ride to see other parts of the world. And I will ride again to see more. <br /><br /> Till the next one.</span></div>

MENGEMBARA KE KASHGAR (episod 1)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Orang kata, mencari ilmu biar
sampai ke negara China. Pengembara kata, kalau mengembara jangan setakat ke
negara China.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Inilah pegangan Encik Noor
Ibrahim Abdillah, 37 tahun, seorang Instruktor Teknologi. Pada tahun 2011,
Encik Ibrahim telah mengembara bermotosikal dengan isteri yang membonceng
beserta 5 lagi sahabat. Mereka sampai ke Yunnan Shangri La China dan amat
takjub dengan keindahan alam negeri itu. Namun apabila pemandu pelancong dari China
mengatakan bahawa Shangri La hanya keindahan yang sedikit jika dibandingkan
sekiranya kita menjelajah terus ke utara, hati Encik Ibrahim terasa terusik.
Sepulangnya beliau dari Shangri La, kata-kata itu terus terngiang-ngiang dan
menjadi tekad untuk beliau menjelajah lebih jauh lagi suatu hari nanti demi
melihat keindahan alam ciptaan Tuhan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Saya seorang pengembara. Bukan
untuk mencipta nama atau sejarah. Tetapi demi minat yang mendalam terhadap
pengembaraan bermotosikal sambil menemui pelbagai ilmu dan sesuatu yang baru
sepanjang perjalanan.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dengan ketabahan dan sikap
merendah hati, Encik Ibrahim bertekad untuk menjadikan pengembaraan beliau
sesuatu yang bermakna dalam kehidupan. Beliau berazam dan berikrar semoga
sekembalinya beliau nanti, beliau dapat berkongsi dengan masyarakat atau
pengembara bermotosikal di samping dapat juga menjadikan pengalamannya sebagai
inspirasi pembakar semangat pelapis generasi baru pencinta motosikal. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Tahap Perancangan<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sekembalinya dari Yunnan Shangri
La China pada tahun 2011, Encik Ibrahim mula melakar perjalanan baru dan
merancang pengembaraannya untuk ke Kashgar. Xinjiang China kelihatan sangat
jauh melalui lakaran peta namun Encik Ibrahim membuat perkiraan bahawa
pengembaraan itu boleh dilakukan dalam masa 42 hari. Encik Ibrahim sedar bahawa kos untuk masuk ke
China dengan motosikal amat mahal justeru sekiranya beliau mengembara secara
solo atau dalam kumpulan kecil, beliau terpaksa menanggung kos yang amat
tinggi.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pengembara asing yang mahu masuk
ke negara China dengan motosikal perlu memohon visa dan mempunyai pemandu
pelancong. Tanpa pemandu pelancong, mereka tidak dibenarkan masuk. Visa permit
untuk masuk ke China berharga USD$250, sementara yuran mendapatkan seorang
pemandu pelancong adalah USD$200 sehari. Beliau telah mendapatkan khidmat
seorang pemandu pelancong bernama Encik Wang Lun selama 30hari di China. Beliau
juga perlu memajak sebuah jip sebagai kenderaan bantuan sepanjang perjalanan
dengan harga USD$180 sehari. Di Tibet pula, mereka terpaksa menggunakan khidmat
pemandu pelancong yang lain kerana Tibet bukan lagi di bawah kuasa Negara
China. Yuran pemandu pelancong Tibet setinggi USD$300 sehari dan jip kenderaan
bantuan pula berharga USD$320 sehari. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Melihatkan kos yang tinggi, Encik
Ibrahim cuba mendapatkan lebih ramai pengembara motosikal untuk turut serta
dalam pengembaraan itu supaya dapat mengurangkan kos setelah dibahagi sama
rata. Akhirnya Encik Ibrahim berhasil mengumpul 20 peserta. Seorang peserta
perlu membayar USD$2600 hanya untuk visa dan pemandu pelancong. Keseluruhannya,
seorang peserta perlu membelanjakan sekitar USD$9000 untuk pengembaraan itu.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Perancangan perlu dilakukan
dengan teliti justeru banyak pertemuan diadakan untuk membincangkan
pengembaraan itu. Pada awalnya, peserta hanya 12 orang. 8 orang lagi berminat
untuk mengikuti pengembaraan itu tetapi terhalang dek komitmen terhadap
pekerjaan dan keluarga. Justeru Encik Ibrahim melakar semula perjalanan untuk
memastikan lagi 8 orang itu dapat menyertai pengembaraan itu tetapi dalam waktu
yang lebih singkat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Konvoi sebanyak 20 peserta
memulakan perjalanan dari Singapura-Malaysia-Thailand-Laos-Yunnan
Province-Sichuan Province-Qinghai Province-Xinjiang Province. Kumpulan A, iaitu
kumpulan pertama seramai 12 orang akan meneruskan pengembaraan ke Golmud untuk
ke Kashgar melalui Laluan Sutera Selatan (Southern Silk Road), terus ke lebuh
raya Karakoram -Kashgar-Urumqi -Lhasa-Tibet-Everest Base-Kathmandu. Manakala
kumpulan B iaitu kumpulan kedua seramai 8 orang meneruskan perjalanan yang
lebih singkat, ke Lhasa-Tibet-Everest Base-Kathmandu. Kedua-dua kumpulan akan
mengakhiri pengembaraan di Kathmandu pada tarikh yang berbeza dan pulang ke
Singapura dengan pesawat. Paling menarik, konvoi itu disertai dengan penunggang
jenis motosikal yang berbeza kuasanya. Ada dua motosikal kapcai atau Yamaha
Spark 135cc yang mengikuti pengembaraan itu.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Persiapan pun dirancang dengan
lebih teliti, terutama dari segi logistik dan mempersiapkan motosikal. Para
peserta diberi tugas masing masing untuk pengembaraan itu. Mohd Shahrin ditugaskan mencari dan
mengumpulkan alat ganti motosikal serta kelengkapan teknikal. Encik Ibrahim
menguruskan segala logistik perancangan perjalanan dan sering berhubung dengan
pihak di China. Ada juga beberapa pengedar yang menaja kelengkapan mereka
seperti kamera Go pro untuk digunakan dan tayar Heidenau dengan harga rendah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Semakin dekat tarikh
pengembaraan, debaran kian terasa dan semangat untuk menjejakkan kaki ke
Kashgar melalui pengembaraan bermotosikal semakin membara. Pada 15hb Ogos 2013,
pengembaraan pun bermula.<o:p></o:p></div>

besarkah?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Itu soalan spontan sesiapa
sahaja sewaktu diberitahu bahawa pengembaraan itu akan melibatkan 2 motosikal
kapchai. Namun dengan penuh yakin, Encik Fazli memberitahu bahawa dirinya
beserta Encik Farook akan bergerak dari Singapura sehari lebih awal. Mereka
hanya bertemu konvoi di Chiangkong Thailand setelah meronda Segitiga Emas
(Golden Triangle). Seorang lagi peserta, Dr Liang bertemu konvoi di Haadyai
Thailand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Penunggang motosikal tak
boleh tunggang laju di jalan raya selepas Laos dan China. Justeru kapchai tidak
akan ketinggalan. Lagi pula, motor kapchai memerlukan bajet murah sedikit
berbanding motor besar. S$8000 sahaja. Saya benar-benar menikmati ekspedisi
ini. Pada awalnya memang rasa tak dapat pergi. Tapi saya sanggup kumpul wang
dalam masa dua tahun dengan bekerja sebagai penunggang Despatch dan buat kerja
sambilan. Apabila dapat sampai ke Kashgar, hati saya benar-benar melonjak
kegembiraan. Seronok sekali,” cerita Encik Farook, salah seorang peserta yang
menunggang kapchai Yamaha Spark 135cc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Apabila ramai kenalan tanya
saya bolehkah Kapchai ikut motor besar? Saya jawab mengapa tidak? Tunggang
kapchailah selamat. Dalam pengembaraan ini, kapchai tak jatuh langung walau
macam mana teruk sekalipun jalan. Motor lain semua jatuh paling sedikit 2 kali.
Tapi kita cepat bangkit, angkat motor, sambung perjalanan. Kalau motor seringan
kapchai tak mengapa juga,” seloroh Encik Ibrahim, ketua ekspedisi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pada 23 Aug 2013 dalam perjalanan dari Jinggu ke Nanjian, Encik Muhammad
Taufik Bin Mohamed telah mengalami kemalangan bertembung dengan kereta.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Pada
waktu itu saya sedang menekan minyak menambah kelajuan sambil membelok selekoh
kanan. Saya tak dapat melihat apa-apa di hadapan kerana selekoh tajam. Pada
waktu itulah sebuah kereta tiba-tiba muncul kerana cuba memotong kenderaan di
hadapannya lantas memasuki laluan saya. Saya tak dapat mengelak. Kami
bertembung. Saya jatuh ke kiri jalan dan mengalami keretakan tulang tangan dan
kaki. Motosikal saya ranap,” cerita Encik Taufik yang menjelaskan bahawa insurans
yang dibelinya membantu mendapatkan ganti rugi motosikal dan kecederaan. Encik
Taufik berjaya mendapat wang pampasan sebanyak belasan ribu USD daripada
pemandu kereta itu dengan bantuan pemandu pelancong, Encik Wang yang
bertanggung jawab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Memanglah
dapat ganti rugi tetapi saya tetap berasa rugi kerana tidak dapat menyambung
pengembaraan. Wang belasan ribu itu tak dapat mengganti pengalaman indah dan
baru yang sepatutnya saya raih.Saya menangis kerana rasa sedih sangat.” Ujar
Encik Taufik kemudian di hantar ke hospital di situ dan kemudian terpaksa
menguruskan proses membuat repot polis dan ganti rugi yang berakhir selama tiga
hari. Konvoi terpaksa meninggalkannya. Encik Taufik pulang ke Singapura dengan
pesawat manakala motosikalnya dihantar dengan trak ke Kunming China.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

orang-orang China adil. Walaupun yang bersalah dalam kes kemalangan itu orang
China sendiri, mereka tidak memenangkannya. Saya dibicarakan dengan adil.” Ujar

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Di sebuah Bandar kecil Dun
huang China provinsi Gangsu, salah sebuah motosikal mengalami masalah yang
kritikal pada tayarnya. Motosikal Encik Mohamad Farid Bin Rahmat, Ducatti
Multistrada 1200cc koyak teruk tayarnya sewaktu di Dun Huang China. Malangnya
Encik Farid tidak membawa peralatan khas Ducatti untuk membuka tayar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Saya berasa marah pada diri
sendiri sebab semasa di Litang saya dah jatuh motosikal sehingga pecah
pelindung tangki. Apabila tayar pula koyak dan semua mekanik kedai tak mahu
baiki kerana tiada peralatan, saya hampir putus asa. Saya beruntung sebab
kawan-kawan semua bersatu hati memikirkan penyelesaiannya. Pada waktu itu saya
hanya ada dua pilihan. Baiki tayar secepatnya atau pulang ke Kunming dengan
trak yang bermakna pengembaraan saya tamat di situ.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Namun mereka tidak berputus
asa dan mengubah suai apa yang ada dengan memotong tin red bull dan memasukkan
ke dalam soket yang paling hampir saiz dan menjadi alat untuk membuka tayar.
Apabila tayar dapat dibuka, mereka merayu mekanik untuk menjahit kembali tayar
itu dan membaiki tayar itu. Ternyata nasib masih menyebelahi Encik Farid. Tayar
itu berjaya dijahit dan dipasang kembali. Namun Encik Farid terpaksa berterusan
mengepam angin setiap kali motosikal berhenti dan memasukkan alat ‘cacing’
sehingga ekspedisi tamat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

raya yang tak rata dan tubuh yang semakin penat menjadikan para penunggang
kurang bertenaga dan mudah hilang kawalan. Cuaca yang sejuk memburukkan
keadaan. Kebanyakan yang jatuh motosikal adalah di daerah Sichuan, Xinjiang dan
paling teruk jalan ke kem Gunung Everest. Semua peserta jatuh sakit kerana suhu
yang sejuk dan mereka berada pada ketinggian 5364meter dari paras air laut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bersedia dari segi mental untuk sampai ke kem Gunung Everest dan dibekalkan
dengan pil penahan mabuk di tempat tinggi (altitude pill), ternyata kesemua
peserta jatuh sakit sewaktu bermalam di situ. Apabila mereka bergerak turun
keesokan hari baharulah kesihatan mereka kembali pulih.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

650 GS Dhaka, tongkat motosikal patah. Apabila tongkat motosikal patah, secara
otomatik motosikal tidak boleh dihidupkan. Mereka terpaksa mencantumkan semula
tongkat yang patah. Namun disebabkan motosikal masih tidak boleh dihidupkan
wayar otomatik terpaksa digodam. Kemudian, motosikal ini mengalami masalah
bateri. Bateri motosikal tidak secara otomatik dicas justeru menyebabkan coil
terbakar. Bateri hanya dapat dibeli di provinsi XIZA tetapi hanya boleh
bertahan selama 4 jam justeru terpaksa dicas semula tiap kali berehat
sehinggalah sampai ke Nepal. Minyak hitam pula meleleh dan ada alat dalaman
yang patah. Mereka ke kedai motosikal dan pati semula besi itu. Apabila
akhirnya motosikal itu mengalami kerosakan pam minyak petrol, motosikal itu
terpaksa dipunggah ke atas trak. Nasib baik perjalanan sudah menghampiri
destinasi terakhir iaitu 220km sebelum Kathmandu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We only spent 1 night in Saigon. This time around, we were determined to ride from South to North of Vietnam. Planning started as early as July. With all the itineries and documentations prepared 1 month before depature, we left Singapore on midnight 9th Dec 2010. Cruising through Malaysian North South Highway and reached Hatyai railway station by 10am. Purchased tickets for passengers as well as cargo for bikes for 6pm schedule to Bangkok. <br />
<br />
Arrived at Hua Lamphong by 1330pm and headed straight for Aranyapratet border where we arrived at 1800hours. Battambang was our rest stop, checked in Asia hotel for USD$6. Next day was one whole sunlight riding time to Vietnam border of Moc Bai. Along the way stopped by Phnom Penh for quick lunch and was at Bavet before nightfall.<br />
<br />
Cleared Vetnamese customs early morning and was greeted by almost 20 bikers from local ACEMotoSaigon club. They escorted us into Saigon with ease amidst the chaos of Saigon traffic. The 22 days of adventure begins.<br />

Arrived Aranyapratet - Poipet border before they closes. Passport stamped, vehicles declaration and got some Riels at the money changer, we're headed to Battambang of Cambodia, some 116km away from Poipet. Riding at night in Cambodia was very blinding. In fact it was. The Cambodians drive with their high beams on all the time. <br />

3 men and a lady. Had a good time there with good music and crazy Vietnamese partying. A charity auction also went on for a Harley which was finally bidded for USD$55,500, way above the original price of USD$45,000. The rest went to the victims of the flood in Central Vietnam. Good heart they have.<br />

Day 6 Nha Trang - Hoi An<br />
<br />
Had early breakfast and left Nha Trang for Hoi An. No escort this time, and we were on our own. Travelling on National Highway No. 1, the road was busy with many bus drivers as road bullies. Still, the view along the great Vietnam ocean ride was scenic with jagged peaks and lots of oases of greens where they grow rice. While the wifey was busy snapping away, I had to be careful not to be pushed off by those road gangsters who have no regards whatsoever with other road users.<br />

Nothing like Angkor Wat because the Americans dropped their shells here. But the remaining structure was unique. A lot of restoration work going on supported by UNESCO.<br />

Day 8 Hoi An - Hue, 130km<br />
<br />
This was one of the most gruelling ride we had. We reached Hue 7 hours later just to clear the 130km stretch. Weather was unkind and it restricted us to many phototaking opportunities. It was supposed to be another highlight passing through Hai Van Mountain Pass. Strong crosswinds from Danang all the way to the summit. I remember the bike tilting to the side while riding and at some point, it felt like a giant hand picking up my bike and shifting it half a meter away. Dropped the bike on the way up to the summit, lost footing, then came the wind and down it went. When we picked up the bike, we had to lean on the bike to prevent it from dropping. <br />
<br />

Stopped by Danang, where it rained heavily and the crosswinds was one of the worst i've ever experienced. <br />

Took a shelter on top of this Hai Van Pass due to weather conditions worsened. Stayed for 2 hours under the mini typhoon according to the locals before we braved ourselves down, freezed with numbness on the fingers. I couldn't even unzip my pants to relief myself. Could not feel a thing.<br />

Soaked those hands under hot water for a good 30 minutes once we checked into the hotel.<br />

The heavy rain and cold wind prevented us from venturing far for food. The next door Kentucky Fried Chicken was a wise choice.<br />
<br />
Day 9 Hue - Thanh Hoa, 600km<br />
<br />
The longest distance travelled in Vietnam. The weather was just about right for riding. Cooling in fact. But not too cold to bring in the thermals. Will be crossing the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) where it separates the North and South. The tarmac was much better than previous days. But the road bullies was ever present. I remember the Vietnamese bikers told us they once beat up a lorry driver for persistent obstruction during overtaking. I am no Vietnam warrior. <br />
<br />
Some nice spots along the way.<br />

The hotel in Samson, Thanh Hoa. It's the low season. They only switched on the lights for those rooms with occupants. That tiny light was where our room was. The town population is only 300. We were the only foreigners around. Dinner was just fried fish and cabbage. And the cold has start to seep in. <br />

Day 10 Thanh Hoa - Halong, 262km<br />
<br />
The morning was greeted by spectacular sunrise. But we couldn't wait to leave the haunted looking hotel. We set off early for Halong city where we intended to catch the last boat to halong bay at 1400hours. Noticed the rear tire was losing pressure but couldn't find any culprits. Rode on and was very obvious the tire pressure was not right. Frequent checks didn't lead to anything. <br />

Halong Bay, being one of nature's wonders of the world is swarmed with many tourists, thus being an expensive place. Quite a turn off but those limestones are magic.<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 11 Halong - Yen Bai, 250km<br />
<br />
We decided to put on our thermals from here on. From Halong, we rode to Bac Ninh to meet our Northern guide. He will then take us for our homestay in Yen Bai with one of the minority ethnic. Warm up the bike to see the floor full of fluid. Discovered that the front left fork seal was broken. Decided to continue.<br />

Day 12 Yen Bai - Sapa, 280km<br />
<br />
Leaving the home stay, we took some of the best twisties in Vietnam to the top of the mountain of Sapa. Weather was unforgiving but the interesting life of the tribe along the hills was an eye opener.<br />

The 3rd one one my rear tire. This was spotted by one of the son from the host. The tire went completely flat and initially I was contemplating to tow the bike to Hanoi instead. Got it fixed and continued with the ride. I was glad I didn't miss Sapa.<br />

Day 13 Sapa - Hanoi, 370km<br />
<br />
Finally, heading back South for the capital city of Hanoi. The Fazer was having coolant leakage problem and we couln't find any suitable bike shop to rectify this. We decided to constantly top up until we reach Hanoi. <br />

The road back down was super due to the absence of rain. It was fun seeing the FZ1 gliding through the curves and inviting corners. The super highway into Hanoi was crowded but the traffic not as bad as Saigon. Checked in and headed for a restaurant recommended by HRC Saigon ambassador.<br />

The bike was begging for a body scrub. USD$1.50 per bike. Where to find.<br />

I find Hanoi is interesting by night. The people there love to dress up, maybe because it's the cold season and you'll find roadsides strewn with people with all walks of life just hanging out. The massage in Hanoi was worth every dollar spent. Next stop, Vinh.<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 15 Hanoi - Vinh, 300km.<br />
<br />
Wife left to catch the morning flight to Singapore carrying with her half the luggage i brought from home. This is the longest time she has left the kids behind for so long. But we have made substantial arrangements to ensure they are constantly occupied. <br />
<br />
The day's ride was to head south for town of Vinh. This time we ventured into Ho Chin Minh highway which offers far better riding conditions. This time there was almost non bus drivers, less cars, less road users. The tarmac was in good condition. This road also connects from South to North and my judgement will be that it will take lesser time from Saigon to Hanoi if you use this path. The view was no less spectacular either. Later part of the ride, the guide decided to venture through minor village road for shorter distance. And we were glad he did. We were exposed to daily normal routine of the Vietnamese villagers. Stopped by a place for a drink and was greeted with pleasant hospitality from them. <br />

Last night in Vietnam<br />
<br />
Day 16 Vinh - Vientianne, 467km<br />
<br />
Woke up early knowing that any hold ups at the border will drag until dusk. How right we were. The border of Cau Treo, Vietnam - Nam Phao, Laos is situated on top of a mountain with some nice twisties to it. The road to Pak Kading from Laos boundaries was really breathtaking. But with 150km to Vietianne, the dusk settled and I really hated riding at night. <br />

Broken fork seal. Can't wait to get to Bangkok to fix it.<br />
<br />
Day 18 Vientianne - Bangkok, 640km<br />
<br />
Agenda was to get to Bangkok and get my fork seal replaced. Was realistic that we couldn't get to Bangkok before they closes. Even if we do, they won't be able to get it done immediately and the next day being Sunday, I knew i have to spend more days in Bangkok. <br />

Time for some luxury. Checked in Asia Hotel. The next few days in Bangkok were spent doing some shopping, good food and good massage. Got the bike into Barcelona Motors to get the fork seal done. But not in time to catch the train to Hatyai. So left me all alone for another night in Bangkok.<br />

Arrived in Hatyai with heavy rain. Contemplated whether to stay a night in Hatyai. Dragged myself out and made my way to the border. All the way raining up till Dengkil Highway.<br />

<br />
A total of 6900km of riding from Singapore to Hanoi and back. Plus another 1890km spend on board of train.<br />
<br />
3 riders and my wife as my pillion. She joined me in HCM and flew back from Hanoi. <br />
<br />
Routes taken<br />

Vinh-Vientianne<br />

Bangkok-Hatyai<br />
Hatyai-Singapore<br />
<br />
The Southern guide only brings us from Saigon to Nha Trang. From there, we were on our own for 5 days until the Northern guide catched up with us in Yen Bai. No escort vehicles, just the guide on the back of our bikes. Riding in big cities of Saigon and Hanoi, you'll face with volume problems but riding on their National Highway, you risked being pushed out of the road by big bullies. Some minor problems like broken fork seal, coolant problem, cosmetic damages, hit and run in Vinh, haunted looking accomodation in Thanh Hoa, raging bulls and parking problem in Halong. <br />
<br />
But with sweet memories, being able to witness the daily life of normal Vietnamese, their cultures, awesome sceneries, good Pho, children smiling and making many friends, the trip will be one difficult to forget.<br />

<br />
My passion for touring began in 1999 when I first borrowed my brother's riding jacket and headed to Melaka for a day's trip. I was on my first 125cc bike, a Varadero 125. That trip was the turning point.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
One and a half years later, I got my first class 2 bike, a Pan European. I followed a group of friends to Phuket. The experience I had, border crossings and the experience of different cultures sparked this passion to ride and venture further. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Within the next year, I was leading 2 groups of Singapore bikers to Phuket and Betong. The experience I got from those trips, gave me the confidence to spur on and pushed the mileage further.<br />

By 2010, I have covered extensive parts of Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and the free economic zone of Tachileik, Myanmar. Looking up north in the map, China is the next country to venture.<br />

The stuff of legends. Veteran American soldiers still talk about this unimaginable maze that they were tasked to bomb during the Vietnam war. Some of their stories became international best sellers. In all their stories, they describe the the Ho Chi Minh trail as a perfectly engineered route that enable soldiers to move quickly and silently under the canopy of the dense jungle. These network of paths have a life of its own, ever growing and expanding, faster than any Americans can map them out and destroy them. 6000km of backwater paths through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. <br /><br />Four decades later, the war has ended and these trails has grown silent, but it was never once forgotten. The surroundings have recovered with time but bombs continue to lay hidden and has over time become part of the jungle. American and Russian tanks and planes lay scattered, down but not defeated, waiting eagerly to relive their missions. Bridges have been destroyed and reclaimed by the rivers, only part of their structure remains, a testament to the chaos at that time. </i><br /><br /><br />In Dec 2012, 4 bikes set off for an adventure down these trails. But first, Chiangmai.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/430783_10151319840107552_106871098_n.jpg" /><br /><br />The 2 beemers set off a week earlier for Northern Thailand.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184562_10151319876167552_66701237_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/427578_10151319870727552_1369269756_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/538559_10151319871407552_533874172_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/553213_10151319871467552_351233682_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/524803_10151319859277552_422905338_n.jpg" /><br /><br />Charlie's guesthouse, right in the middle of Pai Walking street, 200 baht with free Wifi and common hot shower.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/582261_10151319864772552_836770357_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/23377_10151319866212552_1154399412_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/427617_10151319870517552_1355598451_n.jpg" /><br /><br />Pai memorial bridge<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/185660_10151319870657552_865020864_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/734164_10151319870832552_1200504969_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/206202_10151319871022552_1618014217_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/397715_10151319871122552_1171301922_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/408612_10151319871312552_1189481057_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/481313_10151319861907552_777320805_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/582463_10151319861977552_1435150016_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/150266_10151319862037552_747416784_n.jpg" /><br /><br />We spent the cool night walking around Pai Walking street.<br /><br />Next, off to Chiangmai via Samoeng via 1265<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/530271_10151319881307552_627075225_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1240_10151319873867552_1380446359_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/47591_10151319876172552_2054185773_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/431354_10151319876262552_797245360_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/1221_10151319876392552_76222933_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/309656_10151319881242552_920675027_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/63647_10151319876447552_1367832420_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/19894_10151319876572552_452575390_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/421073_10151319876592552_887413755_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Haris and Mahdi finally arrived Chiangmai for the day's ride to Chaloem Prakiat of Nan province.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/602670_10151319884747552_1716639061_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254664_10151319884802552_2047163082_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/163368_10151319884827552_1060944391_n.jpg" /><br /><br />The fantastice curves of 1148<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/542917_10151319884882552_1938214468_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/73312_10151319884902552_1216384112_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248487_10151319885767552_82826696_n.jpg" /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 700km down from Nan was demoralizing due to the fact we made that trip just to get into Lao via another border crossing. The nearest entry into Laos from Nakhon Phanom is through Friendship Bridge II. Never been through this crossing before but I know that motorcycles crossings through most Friendship Bridge are prohibited. But I have a friend who did this bridge sometime back but was from the Lao side. Just kept our fingers crossed.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/13777_10151319911452552_253665306_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537444_10151319911482552_776737994_n.jpg" /><br /><br />A friend was waiting for us in Thakek for HCM Trail but i was telling the rest if we are unsuccessful to cross, I was ready to head home.<br /><br />Then the expected happened. Denied entry again and was advised to load our bikes on a pick up to get through. The officials made a few calls to arrange and at the same time he called his higher ranking officers who eventually gave the clearance for us to pass through. Very rare but grateful we were.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/530265_10151319911457552_2067679720_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/6641_10151319911587552_573427119_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/64027_10151319909922552_461141395_n.jpg" /><br /><br />Thakek, Khammoune Province, Laos<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/317983_10151319911557552_506881495_n.jpg" /><br /><br />And we're ready to met Steve who will lead us into Ho Chi Minh Trail.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/303653_10151319911767552_255794572_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/734059_10151319921807552_830771776_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/543862_10151319921782552_1513546893_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/543117_10151319921987552_332680039_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/23343_10151319922032552_295823994_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184577_10151319922082552_1062952245_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/734779_10151319922167552_856395371_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/580688_10151319922202552_1889102367_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/164670_10151319922337552_175401201_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/16536_10151319922397552_112670890_n.jpg" /><br /><br />With Steve C Corbett. I met Steve 2 years ago in Chiangmai. I was on the way home from Shangrila, he just completed Ho Chi Minh Trail. He was as excited as we were. He claimed that he has no knowledge of anything more than 400cc bikes ploughing through HCM Trail. We could probably be the first but as we found out that could not be a good thing.<br /><br />So tomorrow it's off to Ho Chi Minh Trail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>We came across the Ho Chi Minh trail by chance, while researching routes in Laos. Google search gave us Luang Prabang, Vientiene, elephant rides, Vang Viang, river cruises, buegette, pubs, massages and after another 30 sites of the same stuff, the Ho Cin Minh Trail name pops up. There was no exact route or location, just an image of the map and the American bombing mission in southern Laos. The more we researched. The more intrigued we became....there is something special along those trails, one not seen or felt by many coming into Laos. We decided to take our bikes into Laos and journey through those hushed trails and come back to tell the tale. <br /><br />Before we even started, there were 2 worrying issues. First, there was little information on the exact location of these trails. Not the Internet, not anywhere! So we plotted according to the stories online, the pictures that we could gather and our imagination of what it could possibly be (as we later found out after the ride, our plotted route was so off the actual trail that it's embarrassing). The second worry was that no known bikes past the 400cc range has ever been recorded attempting to use this legendary trail. Those that has made it though on smaller bikes says that its a suicide mission. The bikes that we are on will never make it out in one piece. It will drown in the river, chocked in the trails by its own weight, our fancy rims will break unable to handle the stress of riding on the huge boulders and dry river beds, suspensions will fail and our bike parts will contribute to the existing war scraps. The trails have claimed many who thought that they were up for it, and we will not be the first nor will we be it's last. The message is clear, we were just fancy bike owners who bought the marketing sales pitch a little too well.<br /><br />It must have been selective hearing and reading at its best (or worst) because all we heard was, Ho Chin Minh Trail....legend.....awesome....bikes....adventure. .. Spirit...bombs... Christmas...new year...adventure....campfire marshmallows? <br /><br />On the 26th of December 2012. Four bikes reached southern Laos (Takek) after making the journey 3000km north from Singapore. These bikes 1200cc each, a Yamaha S10, BMW GS, BMW GSA and Triumph Explorer have done their fair share of distance riding but not against legends such the HCMT. These bikes were shinny, farkled, fancy even. They are the pride of the fleet of adventure bikes (A KTM 990 was unable to come due to work commitments). As we reached Takek, not one of us thought twice about going up against this legend..we were absolutely determined to take it on and survive to tell the tale... And so, the story between man and his machine against the perfectly engineered trails used in the Vietnam War begins....<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/150267_10151319931607552_278240706_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/46147_10151319929287552_661074144_n.jpg" /><br /></em>Our 1st discovery, Russian SAM missile.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540906_10151319931247552_1341578863_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/524574_10151319931372552_340442624_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/394902_10151319931412552_733399930_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/182158_10151319931492552_1650202769_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/64010_10151319931542552_491679749_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/580446_10151319929337552_848193915_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/735241_10151319931682552_1326239615_n.jpg" /><br /><br />A bombed out bridge during the Vietnam War<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/580704_10151319931587552_2050470262_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/538018_10151319931832552_1592251756_n.jpg" /><br /><br />A visit to a school. <br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/304630_10151319932157552_2016720297_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/309566_10151319932392552_2051958162_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/215655_10151319954162552_343520047_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/538414_10151319954392552_873886343_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/58647_10151324979417552_451020614_n.jpg" /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Fast forward to day one..all hell were breaking loose...we were questioning our sanity of being there in the first place.....There was absolutely no way we could have bashed through hundreds of kilometres of trails with our imaginary route. At this juncture, i would like to introduce the fifth rider who we are ever thankful for joining us. A little humble Lifan (China made motorcycle 200cc - rider named Chris). Chris and his Lifan reminds me of Disney movies, the kings soldiers in the dark forest on a noble quest guided by magical wisps and nymphs. We were the dumb soldiers, Chris was that magical wisps... Guiding us along the relentless paths.. Ever so nimble, he is always in front of us, showing us the trail and helping us when needed..(plus there's something about the way when he says don't worry that makes it a bit comforting for us... Lols... What he actually meant was there were just 12 more rivers to cross with chest deep waters!)<br /><br />The battle between man and his machine with the legendary trails over the following 4days was epic. The first for these kind of bikes in South East Asia. When trails proved too technical for the bikes, all 5 huffed and puffed to push and provide leverage and support. When rivers proved too mighty to cross, we combined our strength (literally) and use it to transport the the bikes across. When darkness falls and the last remaining lights in the sky disappear, we relied on each others tail lights and feed on each others perseverance to get out of the trails. When we got separated and lost in the trails, not one man blamed the other, instead we ride harder and searched further. When one man fall, four will come to his aid; one to pick him, another to pick his morale and two others to muscle the bike up. We shall leave no man or bike behind, there will be no casualties on the HCMT. We may take all day and night but we will get out together. </i><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/47641_10151319929357552_363385203_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/293649_10151319954457552_2032508651_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388266_10151319954412552_1739050257_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/602729_10151319954592552_136433934_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/27289_10151319954837552_882986334_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/148527_10151319955177552_503351132_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/74533_10151327018612552_301854499_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/150272_10151319955367552_688162334_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537337_10151319955382552_2084355952_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/603163_10151319955532552_199973074_n.jpg" /><br /><br />Another visit to a school<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/538383_10151319955932552_985651723_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/64583_10151319955727552_1028383776_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/72258_10151319956207552_1098004507_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/207801_10151319972732552_775095227_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/543402_10151324979477552_1870964576_n.jpg" /><br /><br />A nice capture by Omar<br /><br /><i>On that note, 13.5 hrs to clear 160km of trails on the first day (Takek to Villabury). I remember dozens of falls, flying panniers, soaked boots, bottomed out forks, rickety bridges, huge ruts, long stretches of sands, steep inclines and amazing show of character. Words fail to describe the intensity of the trails as we ride our 1200cc bikes through. This was compounded by the fact that we had all our panniers on and no off road tyres. (well I did mention that our initial plotted route was so off the mark it's embarrassing!). We drank from rivers and eat rationed biscuits to survive the trails.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>The second part of the HCMT (from Dong to Salavan) was only 100km but it was the hardest bit of all. The long stretches of sand and inclines on the first day is now replaced with technical jungle trail and boulders from dry river beds. The trails are narrower and much steeper. The jungles much closer to the trails. The ruts are sharper and the remaining cobblestones from the HCMT rattles the bike for long stretches. My biggest challenge was getting the GSA over slippery boulders and on dry river beds with where there is just no best line to ride. Often I find myself in gear two and throttling through. No one can be completely in control of their bikes under those conditions. The front wheel bounces and flaps but you just got to trust yourself and look at the trail ahead . It is impossible even to sit and rest. The river crossing were relentless and I find myself flying off the bike three times on day two. Of course, Chris and his magical Lifan was ever ready to give me that boost up a slippery slope and to share with me his water (I made the mistake of not topping up my water supply before hitting the trails, our drinking water runs out faster than we know and before long we were drinking from the river using Chris water filter pump. Best water we ever drank!). In those trails, I could feel every single kilo of the GSA 300kg. Lifting the bike up after a spectacular dive is impossible without at least another person around. I find myself asking Chris how far more to the next town after every fall..... The bike is not gona ride by itself and I was just finding a reason to get up and continue the journey....<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/430820_10151320030017552_172672429_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/603153_10151324963262552_1548259301_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/394950_10151324979422552_755118782_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/524683_10151324979492552_65766606_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/270366_10151324979442552_461261350_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/580589_10151320030082552_1754103686_n.jpg" /><br /><br />As I write this tale of ours, our bikes and us have survived the HCMT in one piece. Even though we covered the major routes, we barely scratched the surface of the 6000km long network of trails. The HCMT did not let us go easily. We left the trail with bruises on our arms and duct tapes and cable ties on our bikes. <br /><br />Our bodies will heal overtime but our souls have forever been touched by the legendary tales of the Ho Chi Minh. We will forever remember those moments where all of our bikes seems impossible to ride but we managed to came out in one piece (man and machine) together. We went into the trails chasing the promise of legends and were left humbled by the intense terrain and a glimpse reflection of life back in time. <br /><br />Throughout history, critics sold out magazines comparing our bike models side by side debating on its weight, power, handling ability, price and even luggage space. Each point acted as leverage in its claim as king of Enduro and Adventure bikes. They were all wrong.... There was not one bike that can claim king.... There were four plus the additional China Lifan. </em><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Rider verdict:Lifan - not a single fall or damage.

A little hiccups here and there and it finally materialised. That 2 years of planning paid off when all the pieces came together for a much anticipated overland trip to Yunnan Province, China. 7th Dec 2011, all 5 riders set to go and will be joined by 2 pillions in Chiangmai, Thailand. Managed to get a Chinese tour agent amongst a few which is mandatory by Chinese regulations if you're travelling with own vehicles in Chinese territories. Our agent, a 58 year old ex goverment officer based in Urumqi, Xinjiang province, well he's a very difficult man to reach over emails. I was very anxious and worried about his possible no show at the custom border as he didn't demand for any deposits unlike all other agents that i had contacted. Nevertheless, he was there at Mohan border and all went well from start till the end. From riding on ice in Shangrila, mindblowing sceneries, extreme sub zero temperature, worst that you can imagine public toilet experience, the long wait at international border crossings, taking the less travelled back roads and the flood evacuation exercise warning in Hatyai, every moment was priceless and will be difficult to forget. Following images summarized our 28 days of journey covering from Singapore - Malaysia - Thailand - Northern Laos - China.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Day 1- 4</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Singapore - Hatyai - Bangkok - Chiangmai - Phu Chi Fa - Chiang Khong</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/387362_10150499708352552_1336680120_n.jpg" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After almost 10 hours cruising Malaysian NS Highway, we arrived Dannok and headed straight for Hatyai Junction Railway Station.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/402611_10150499710622552_676382551_8520815_865093045_n.jpg" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Train left at 1810hrs same day, managed to get 2 1st class tickets and 2nd class sleeper for the rest. Few hours spent on massages, some others making purchases for Thai prepaid card while waiting for the train. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1st class still looks cramped with all the luggages squeezed in. And woke up to the sight of recent Bangkok floods.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrived Hua Lamphong and purchased the next train to Chiangmai the same day. Some 9 hours later, we're in Chiangmai train station. All this arrangements allows us to save an extra day and your train ticket and cargo fees covers your hotel, petrol and mileage. </span><br />

Most of other operators "claimed" that a 4WD escort is a must. Mr Wang has proven that this is not true. His only request was that we provide a riding helmet for him. Plus Mr Wang was very transparent about his prices. No hidden costs and he provided with all the breakdowns. I didn't get such from other operators. In the end, we ended up paying around $USD70 lesser than the original costs. The only small problem i had with him wass his response time when replying to emails. But he does this for a living and as we get to know him further, he's always away from home in the deserts or his specialized Silk Road for tours. <br /><br />After all the necessary documentations and inspection done at the border, we head 60km up to the town of Mengla to get our provisional Chinese driving license and further inspection on our bikes.

None of our bikes were equipped with heated grips or mittens. You dont need those in South East Asia. On top of that the bike had been skidding very often on wet patches. Noticed, snow flakes on the side of the road as well. There's a weird symbol which blinked repeatedly on my instrument panel. One time, the temperature hit - 3.5 degrees C when we were passing through a mountain.<br /><br />When the rest of the pack caught up, I was informed that one rider skidded and suffered a minor fall. He said he was allright and mentioned about slippery road surface. We moved forward and there Omar was shivering when speaking. We decided to settle in a nearby stall for hot drinks. Later do we learnt that those wet patches on the road are called black ice. Being dumb Asian who enjoys tropical climate all year round, that's the first time i heard of black ice.

He's one hell of a guide. I mean it in a good way. This is his 1st time taking a motorcycle group. The furthest he's gone on a bike was 200m. Most of his organised trip were with 4WDs and caravans. His knowledge is very impressive and being resourceful, he comes up with a solution fast. Being Chinese running a business, it's very rare to find one of his character. He doesn't demand for deposit before entry and he only collected full amount when we left China. His reason, I don't like to hold too much money. Based in Urumqi, near Kazakhstan, he had to fork out USD$300 for 2 flights to Yunnan which came out from his own. Took him 2 days. We could have easily made a no show and he would have wasted that amount. I was lucky to find him. I hope he enjoyed his time with us. We hinted of another trip with him soon. His reply, 'send me an email'. Oh by the way, he spoke perfect English. <br /><br /><u><strong><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/385533_10150505695982552_676382551_8540010_1491419283_n.jpg" /><br /></strong></u>Waiting time again at the border as the re-opened at 3pm.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I strongly believe China has a lot to offer. I know many were turned off by the high prices set by tour agents or 'fixers'. I think we paid a fair amount. Many of the prices and requirements set by most agents are not mandatory as explained by Mr Wang. <br /><br />A fellow rider who has ridden some parts of China claimed, if you have traveled China, you have travel the world. I asked him why is that so. He said if you want grasslands, deserts, snow capped mountains, canyons, beautiful gorge, majestic rivers, beautiful lakes, relics, historical monuments, ruins, the famous Silk Road, varieties of interesting cultures, you can find it in China. I hope he's right. <br /><br />One thing which I still couldn't understand is the set ups of their public toilet. To be honest, it's disgusting. Why do I have to pay usage fee to see people doing business openly. No doors, no flushing system, no nothing. I ended throwing up all my lunch after one visit. Oh, they do have one more bad habit, public spitting. <br /><br />Apart from that, I do love their diversity and massive culture. It's really magical. The sceneries and landscapes offer stunning and mind-blowing views. Most of the time I felt so little. And Mr Wang mentioned that Yunnan province isn't China's best offer in terms of nature. So I can't imagine what's it's like to witness China's best. <br /><br />The behaviours of their road users are more accommodating. You don't see vehicles going over speed limit on their highway. I think the presence of many speed cameras contributed to that. I've counted. I ran over more than 10 speed cameras flashes in total. Mr Wang assured me it will be OK. The Chinese government won't chase after foreign vehicles for summons.<br /><br />The people in the rurals are a little apprehensive. They will just reply "I don't know" or will give the puzzled look. <br /><br />Being Muslim, I'm surprised there's quite a big Muslim community in Yunnan province so food was never a problem. Not that we're particular but choices were made easier.<br /><br />I've never been to any places with temperature below 10 degrees C. So to ride in sub zero conditions was excruciatingly torturing. The fingers suffered mostly. And I've learnt a new term, black ice. <br /><br />The yak's meat tasted like beef for me. Not that I've taken a liking. Just wanted to try it out. <br /><br />And the snow. Have always been wondering what its like to feel them. Come on guys. I live in a tropical country.<br /><br />I must say it's another different country with different interesting cultures and a lifetime experience. A good one. Errr ... Just don't remind me of the public toilet.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07105652914238094341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602934437294494445.post-64838731662430275152013-02-24T08:01:00.000-08:002013-10-30T14:13:58.209-07:00Overland Crossing Into Myanmar - 2011The much anticipated trip to the Golden Land of Myanmar, probably the least well explored country in South East Asia. The crossing only restricted us to venture the town of Tachilek, east of Shan State. Not forgetting a quick stop to Doi Mae Salong and Golden Traingle in Chiang Saen.<br /><br />Leaving Myanmar, we headed down South for the frequently mis-informed Thailand states of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. No tensions felt although the presence of police and soldiers were everywhere. As always about Thailand, the people was ever friendly, good food, beautiful beaches in Narathiwat and inviting corners enroute from Yala to Betong..<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In 2011, together with 5 other friends, my wife and I went 2 up on the triple black to Yunnan Province, China. That journey took us till Shangri La County. The experience and scenery was really spectacular back then. However, our China guide casually mentioned that the views in Tibet and Xinjiang were much more stunning than what we have seen. That comment triggered the desire to find out how amazing the view is as how a local claimed. Yunnan was enchanting but I was determined to see China's best.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />As soon as we completed our adventure in Yunnan, I started some sketch of plans on my next ride. Xinjiang seemed far fetch initially, but after few weeks of close study on the map, along with the countless emails exchange with our China fixer, I figured out 42 days should be sufficient.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Having had one riding experience in China and the costs involved, I knew that keeping the group small will result in having to pay a ridiculous amount of money. Well, if it is low cost to ride in China, Boten immigration would have been busy with riders from south. So i need to be realistic on the cost requesting the Chinese fixer every single breakdown of what we are forking out for. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Plenty of meetings were held. Initially we set on the number of participants to 12. Soon enough all 12 places were rapidly filling up . In the meantime, plenty of emails and phone calls were conversed with the Chinese fixer on the routes to be taken. Midway through the planning, a couple of riders expressed great interest to join the adventure. However, these riders could not afford to spare 42 days of leave. Thus, the entire plan was revamped with an additional 8 riders.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A new route was then planned. The entire group will ride from Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand-Laos-Yunnan Province-Sichuan Province-Qinghai Province-Xinjiang Province. The initial 12 riders will ride from Golmud to Kashgar via the Southern Silk Road to Karakoram Highway-Kashgar-Urumqi -Lhasa-Tibet-Everest Base-Kathmandu while the other 8 riders will break away from Golmud and head on to Lhasa-Tibet-Everest Base-Kathmandu. </span></div>

essentials, visits to embassies, delegation of tasks, application of necessary
documents and at the same time shuffling with day time job that we are holding,
There was never a single session where all the riders were present in any of

That night, our good friend, Danial Hakim, a professional photographer, took
the opportunity to photograph each and every rider. </span><span style="font-size: 13px;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Thailand's southern border of Dannok was busy as always on
weekends so we opted out for "express service". RM15 should clear you
off quickly and save you at least an hour of queuing up time. As soon as we cleared BKH - Danook border,
we're headed for Hatyai Airport where the truck was waiting. The bikes will be
transported to Chiang Khong and we flew to CNX on the same day. This
arrangements allows us in preserving energy as our ride will only resume in
Laos. Some had casually told me off that it's not adventure enough putting our
rides on a truck. These people obviously haven't realized the effects of
fatigue from serious long distance trips, and true enough, it started to affect
us as we realized it later part of the journey. It's our 42 days and we chose
our routes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The boys had some time to explore Chiangmai. Lively city,
big night bazaars and a great place to just explore the area. Some of our loved ones flew in to join us.
But in the meantime, further north, the 2 mopeds traveled Northern Thailand.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Getting the paper work done in Chiang Khong was
exceptionally different from my previous crossings here. Apparently, now there
is the custom conveyance form that needed to be completed. Laws that have been
in place 20 years ago will be enforced from now on according to the officers.
The last time I filled up those form were some 7 years ago in Chongmek border.
It took us all 3 hours to clear the custom. Once all was settled, we rolled
down for the barge.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">After the barge crossing, the riders didn't have to wait
long for paperwork clearance. The team had already engaged the service of a
Laos guide who made prior arrangements for swift clearance. It is mandatory to
have a guide in Laos if you are traveling in groups of 4 or more. This ruling
was made known when I tried crossing Hongsa border earlier in January.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Along the way to Luang Namtha, a small mishap happened. A dog ran into Sess' path. Witnessing the whole ill fortune as I was 2
bikes away, there was nothing Sess could do to avoid it. The impact resulted in
the rider doing a 360 deg flip once while the bike did a 360 deg flip three
times. The poor dog died on the spot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After some adjustments on the bike, it was good to go while
the rider suffered some bruises. Apparently the Dainese took the brunt of it.
The rider was still in high spirit though. Strong chap, and he continued the
rest of the journey without a windshield and broken panniers. Well done Sess!!
Not that the roadkill didn't matter much. But it was a big dinner for a family
who picked up the poor dog.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After clearing custom, we headed to Mengla. This is the town
where we need to get our Chinese license. We arrived at the traffic police at
1145. Unfortunately, the office was closed for lunch from 1130 to 1500 pm. So
the whole group along with Mr Wong had to wait till the office resume work
after lunch. The process for the paperwork started at 1500 only. It was a long
drawn out wait.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">W<span style="font-size: small;">e set off from Jinghong as early as 0730 hours. The road we
rode on were full of tight corners. There was also intermittent rain throughout
the ride which leads to the road being very slippery. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A few hiccups occured along the way. There was another

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A second accident involved Hazrin. He skidded on the
slippery road resulting with his bike being dragged to the side of the road. Due
to the accident, there was a hold up of 2 hours. Since we were behind time, we
tried to ride on the highway only to be caught and escorted back to the next
exit. Motorcycles are not allowed to use Chinese highway by the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We set off to Lijiang Old Town right after lunch, one of UNESCO World Heritage Site. We were hold up for a couple of hours when a rider
accidentally filled up his tank with diesel.
Took us about an hour to rectify that problem. It rained heavily upon
reaching Lijiang. We had yak for dinner nearby and walked about the Lijiang Old
Town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Then another tragedy struck, a local car was in one of the
rider's path while overtaking and didn't manage to duck back into his. Big hold
up. Rider broke his wrist and his triple clamp on his Triple Black snapped into
two. Police and insurance representative came in and decided that the rider
needs to be compensated but both parties have to head back to Lijiang for re-
assessment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang ordered us to proceed further while he accompanies
the rider back to Lijiang. It was not an easy decision but the rider realized
his journey ends right there. He had to succumb to one fella's poor driving
judgement. Said our goodbyes reluctantly and felt as helpless as there was
nothing else we could think of for him to continue.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Today's ride took us to the start of bumpy road condition
and unfavorable weather. There was the occasional drizzle. The first 80 km was
a very big and good road with well-lit tunnels. After that the road gets bumpy
with a few unpaved road. There was a junction where it splits the direction to
Tibet and Sichuan province. There was a section of about 50 km where the road
was narrow with many live-stocks roaming. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The last 100 km of the mountain road was slippery with
tonnes of hairpin corners. The total distance of about 300 km took us to an
elevation of 4200 m.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">With all the rough terrain and weather conditions, we have
the awesome and breathtaking views to compensate for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Our destination today - Xinlong via Litang. Most of the riders
will remember Litang vividly. They should have plenty to say about this
stretch. Some love it, some will give it a miss the next time. This 353 km
route offers the worst road conditions by far. It was a record travelling time
of 16 hours. There were sand...mud...gravel...ruts...rocks. However, it gives us the best scenery ever up
to this point. Its like those you see in the National Geographic channels. We
were travelling along the western of Sichuan where according to locals, were
part of Xizang or Tibet once upon a long time ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We rode to an elevation of 4600 m and lowest temperature
clocked in was 7 deg C.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was raining as we made our way to Xinlong. The ride to Xinlong had many of the riders
trying to keep our bikes upright. Among us , there was like a total of 15
drops.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">2 riders took a wrong turn ended up 190 km away from the
main pack. They had to put up the night in another town of Yajiang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Another rider traveled half this journey on his own. At one
point of time, there were like 5 separate groups , huffing and puffing trying
to get to Xinlong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Xinlong is a wet and muddy town and majority of the people
are Tibetan They probably don't receive
much tourist on their own. We seem so alien to these people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We
stayed at Wang Jiang Hotel for 160 yuan per night. We had to park our bikes at
a military camp as the local police assured us that it was not safe to park our
bikes outside the hotel. One restaurant in particular waited up till the last
group arrive. It was almost midnight by then.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The first group arrived just after sunset whiles the last, a
couple of hours before midnight. All riders except 2 arrived Xinlong town that
night. They apparently headed east towards Chengdu. After confirming that they
are some 190 km away, and with the conditions of the road, we knew that it won't be an early
departure for us the next day.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">On top of that there was some issues with some of the bikes which was the result from the previous day's ride. The problems are such as front brake failure, battery problem, deflated tire, fork seal leak, broken mirrors, flying panniers, fuel pump failure and wet smelly socks. We tried to fix all the problem and to make matters worse there was a blackout in the town and the pump station could not work when we were departed. By the time the whole matter was resolved, it was close to 7pm. So we decided to spend another night in Xinlong.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We set off in the morning towards Gantze Town. We had some

of snow capped mountains in the background. We stopped by a small town to
charge the battery for one of the bike. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Today's ride was another yet tough ride for us. The terrain
were basically sandy..rocky... muddy due to occasional rain. The traction
control on the bike was of little use. There were occasions where we are only
able to ride at 20km/hr. No matter how skillful one is, we seems to have no
control over the bikes on muds. Not to mention the number of drops. Among many
bike issues were flat tires, starter relay
problem and bikes with leaking fuel. Travelling on the mountain roads which
were muddy and rocky had our bikes sliding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The other group left a couple of hours earlier as we decided
that we will wait for the power generator to come on. And up to this point Doc
Liang was already two towns ahead. He has been pushing ahead from everyone else
two days ago, alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We traveled along the mountainous road of the Tibet
settlement of this western Sichuan Province to as high as 4000m . Not many
foreigners traveled this road according to locals. They prefer the east area of
Chengdu. As we travel close to the Tibet borders, the influence is apparent in
the people, language as well as culture. And the scenery offered there was
simply magnificent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Soon after we move off from the checkpoint, A GSA simply
lost its juice. Numerous cranks and jump start wouldn't get it started. It took
some close to 3 hours for us to troubleshoot and suggested that the cells
should be the culprit. While the guys were busy attending to the bike, I
received a call from the other group of an accident which happened to the other
group. This time it sounded serious as the rider was brought to a hospital some
200 km north. Time was running out as we anticipated that it's going to get
cold come nightfall so we hired a local tractor to move it to the next town
much to the disappointment of the rider.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The X1R came next as we were about to move. Carburetor was
heavily leaking petrol. Since it's a much lighter bike, we decided to tow it
up. The Ducati volunteered. To make matter worse, it started raining and the
earth became muddy and too slippery.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Again, it was difficult to maneuver in mud and the bike
simply glided over when descending. No control whatsover. My road tires made it
worse and the Heidanau K60 on others didn't fare much better. It became too
dangerous even when everyone went easy on the throttle. As the rain kept
pouring, the mud got worse and some even suggested that we seek refuge at a
local Tibetan tent and continue the next day. The next town, some 50km away but
that felt like forever. We got another tractor for the Yammie as it was too
difficult for the Ducati to pull it down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Morning spent on fixing all the affected bikes while few of
us took a short walk round town. The GSA needed a new battery and up the truck
it went. The next big town will be in Xining. The GSA will have a stopover in a
town of Xiwu. Since it was closed to 3 pm, and from Doc Liang's review of the road
condition, I decided that the next
stopover will be a nearby Shiqu. I asked
the two most fittest rider, Ejat and Mus if they can accompany the GSA for Xiwu
and soon after they suited up and was on their way along with the GSA. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In the meantime, was in contact with the other group. Rider
suffered 5 broken ribs and a punctured lung. Mr Wang was on the way to attend
to him from Kunming. Plans for Medical Evacuation already in process.The bike
was placed in a police station near Shiqu county and Mr Wang had asked our
assistance to retrieve the bike when passing by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Rode a short distance of 75 km from Xiza to Shiqu. Once
again we had to ride on bad road with billions of gravels plus rain. This time
the gravel was more difficult to handle. Shixu stands at an elevation of 5005
m; the highest by far. Arrived here shivering due to rain and wind, breathing
was getting more difficult. Even mounting and getting off the bike was taxing.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Rode from Shiqu - Xiwu - Maduo - Qinshuanhe today covering a
distance of 205km. Stopped for lunch in Xiwu town and met up with the other 3
guys who went ahead accompanying the GSA . Up till this point, we have officially
crossed over to Qinghai Province.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Another trucker town where there's no shower facility and
the toilet is at your convenience. The GSA came back to life after we swapped
the KTM's battery. He couldn't be any happier and he rode happily until the
worst case happened at Everest Base Camp.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The distance we covered from Qingshuihe to Gonghe was 520
km. No bike issues except for a side stand bypass on the 650 Dakar so we
decided to push slightly further today. We haven't been following the itinerary
for the past couple of days so another day won't hurt I guess. So Gonghe it
will be, based on the recommendations of Mr Wang's driver.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The first 30km of our ride were off road full of light
gravels and badly damaged broken concrete road, and the rest of it was a pretty
good straight road. The highest elevation we rode for today was 4855 m. There
was also a lot crosswinds along the journey. The scenery along this route was
purely mountains and grasslands.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We crossed over to another province, Qangsu, for a town
called Zhangye. Total distance covered today was 325 km<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The road travelled today offers the best ride in China;
perfect road, perfect view, perfect condition. Not that we dread off road, but
we have been travelling through unpaved road most of the time in Sichuan
province. It was quite refreshing to be presented with well paved tarmac.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We passed 4 snow capped mountains. It was a great feeling
seeing everyone smiling when we reached the mountain where it snowed.
Exuberant, everyone was seen hi fives. Don't blame us, it was the first for
everyone riding in the snow.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The weather was about right. Temperature was 21 deg C and it
was comfortable to ride without the thermals. The 240 km which we traveled
today took us through barren land to the Jiayuguan Great City. We're expecting
the desert anytime soon. Checked in a hotel in Jiayuguan town and soon after we
started the engine again for a short ride to nearby Jiayuguan Great City. Few of
us dumped the bike for a camel ride.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Before we left for Dunhuang, we had a stop at The Great Wall
of China. Some history lesson by Mr Wang, the last bit of western GWC ends in
Jiayuguan. We spent some time there and left about 130 pm. We took the
secondary road which were half gravel and half broken road but managed to sneak
into Gangsu National Highway for about 120 km. However, one of the Duke kept
losing air pressure so there were quite a bit of hold up time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We arrived Dunhuang town rather later than expected but were
greeted with colors decorating the town. There were lots of activities with
people walking around and hanging out in eateries way past midnight.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Pass" is the first pass at the west end of the Great Wall of China, near
the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu province. It has also been called
"Jiayuguan Pass"; however, this form is redundant since
"guan" means "pass" in Chinese. Along with Juyongguan and
Shanhaiguan, it is one of the main passes of the Great Wall.</i></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We set off for our next destination right after breakfast.
Today we are heading to Rouqiang, 350 km away.
According to our guide, Mr Wang, the route we took today is still along
Gobi Desert. According to him too, after we passed by a place called Miran, we
will be travelling on the Ancient South Silk Road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The first 60 km of our ride was on very vast sandy road plus
construction passage. We took about 2 hours to clear the 60 km. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We thought the worst unfortunate was over but more surprises
awaited. While being stopped at a police checkpoint, 15 km upon reaching
destination, a rider realized his passport was nowhere in his possession. Again
Mr Wang had to come into action. He made numerous calls and we suspected that
the passport disappeared at a petrol kiosk some 300 km away. That was when it
was last seen by the rider. Mr Wang suggested we checked into a hotel and wait
for a reply from the police who said they were going to retrieve footage from
CCTV.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang finally got a call and the police confirmed that the
bag which contained the passport left the kiosk. The footage saw the rider
placed the bag in his jacket. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">We were all resigned to the fact that his part of the
journey ends here. He has to get to the Chinese embassy which is located at the
other end of China, Beijing. But here's the tricky part. The rider needs to get
letters from police station of 3 different locations in order to board a plane
to Beijing. One near the kiosk where he last saw his passport, the next one the
county's police station and lastly the district's. It's just the law according
to Mr Wang. The last one is located
1,300 km away from our location.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">My sympathy for Mr Wang. Half of the journey he haven't been
travelling with us tending to the other two major accident cases. And this time
he has to accompany the rider to 3 locations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Later in the night Mr Wang told me to think of how to settle
the rider's bike.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">We wished Mr Wang goodbye and the affected rider best of
luck as they left Minfeng for the start of their 1,300 km journey in a
chartered car. I can see the disappointment in his face but he tried his might
to hide them as kept saying he will be all right. My last parting word "
Let's hope that some kind soul will return your passport in the meantime."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">So we immediately look for a truck for hire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">We head back down to the police checkpoint as suggested by
Mr Wang as all vehicles will stop there for we should have a bigger chance of
finding a truck. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang: " Sess left for Beijing"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Me: "So fast? So when are you joining us?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang: " Not so soon. Your friend didn't give me any
transportation fare. I am now in a cramped bus on the way to Kashgar"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Me: " What? Did he pass you his share of payment for
the trip?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang: " No!! He told me to collect money from you!
You're to pay for his share!."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Me: " What??!! How could he do that??"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mr Wang: "I don;t know. I see you in Kashgar to talk

<span style="font-size: small;">Covering a distance of 490 km from Hotan to Kashgar. Our ride today took us across Taklimantan
Desert, where the landscape was a simply vast formless desert stretching out to
the horizon. We had some sightings of a few camels from a far distance. Other
than that it was just oasis and a big spread of desert sand. The highest
temperature recorded for that day ride was 38 deg C. Not that we complain since
we wanted to ride the desert so much, but the blazing heat and the absence of
clouds made this one long stretch to the pinnacle, a little bit demanding.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

famous Karakoram Highway and Karakul Lake. The scenes were magical. True to its
mystical features, every turn of the road was coming into us. There was never a
dull moment. We traveled close to Afghanistan and Tajikistan boundaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Karakoram Highway is the highest paved international road in the world.It
connects China and Pakistan across the Karakoram Mountain range, through the
Khunjerab Pass at an elevation of 4693 m. Due to its high elevation and the
difficult conditions in which it was constructed, it is also referred to as the
'Eight Wonder of the World'. The highway cuts through the collision zone
between the Eurasian and Indian plates, where China, Tajikistan, Afghanistan
and Pakistan come within 250 km of each other.</i></span></span></div>

checkpoint for failing to produce third party insurance documents which Mr Wang
was holding on to. But he managed to get in contact with the police chief in
Kashgar who eventually made us wrote an indemnity letter. It was worth the wait
as later, we were presented with many of remarkably mesmerizing scenes of the

<span style="font-size: small;">We're headed back to Kashgar with a regret of not staying the night by the lake. I told them to save it for Everest Base Camp.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Arriving back in Kashgar, while i parked the bike at the hotel, heard a whistle directed at me from a distance. It was Mr Wang sitting at the hotel's cafe. There he was, and I thought I have to offer him an apology for what he's been treated by one selfish individual. While walking over, I caught a glimpse of the person sitting next to him. Startled, I paused and gave an astonished look. Both of them immediately burst into laughter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was stumped but at the same time happy to find Sess seated next to Mr Wang. Almost immediately, Sess pointed his fingers at Mr Wang " It was his idea!! " , claiming his innocence. Mr Wang did nothing but couldn't stop laughing for the next 5 minutes. They had pulled a prank on me. This old man got me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Apparently, a young shepherd found the lost bag containing the passport and all documents and returned it to a police station. The boy managed to get in touch with the police before Sess flies to Beijing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Luck was sure on his side as his bike was still somewhere in Kashgar. He managed to piece all in time to continue on with the team. One soap opera, not so much on the prank although knowing that I could have slept better the night before had I know everything will turn out good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That night i accompanied Sess to retrieve his bike. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It was early morning at the border. We were ready to cross
over but somehow they were some problems with the documentations. It was not
very clear then as English was rarely spoken. We waited like 6 hours just to
clear both customs. The Kazakhs seemed to have brought a lot of luggage from
China and the baggage clearance was chaotic and disastrous. Lots of shouting
and shoving. We didn't have many problems though as they treated foreigners
very well. By the time we arrived at Almaty
was very late at night. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

travel agent bore nothing since they don't speak English. Luck was around when
we bumped onto a group of local students majoring in language, they were on a
way to a scenic spot of Koctobe and invited us to tag along. The boys didn't
refuse.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today was a visit to a big wholesale market of Barahoke
before catching an evening flight back to Urumqi. Kazakhstan was totally a
different culture, language and lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Almaty, in my opinion is a clean city with lots of beautiful
people. The people of Kazakh possess unique and exotic outlook of Korean,
Arabic and European look. They appear to be apprehensive at first but they were
more than helpful once they know of your real intention. They speak mainly
Russian or Kazakh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We might have appeared weird to them as they
don't normally receive Asian tourists. They are fascinated seeing our dark and
tanned feature. Short time in Kazakh but definitely a refreshing experience.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Our Tibet guide, Phun Tsok greeted us at the airport. Now
