Maps, I like maps

I know, it's like the continuing story of... in this case maps. I have added a new map on the website. New is the map of Sichuan province in China. The map of Sichuan is a good addition if you want to follow my adventures in Sichuan province. The map is quite good at scale but of course, if you are cycling yourself, you will want a better one. You can try our maps auction to find a good map

I have reworked the Yangshuo and Yunnan maps, as I was not happy with the initial results.

Here is the map of Yunnan and here the map of Yangshuo.

I hope you find them useful

Although China is changing rapidly and the modern western world is rapidly adopted in the big cities of China, the countryside is remarkably well preserved. That includes the poverty. Where the new wealth in China is created in the cities, much of the countryside has been left out.

That is the advantage of a cyclist, being on a bicycle gives the advantage to explore much of the untouched Chinese countryside. So, what do you have to tell us about China?

A slightly new layout

The last week I spend with a school from Kuala Lumpur in the Lumut jungle for some activities. When I got back, I continued in changing the layout of the website. I admit, it's not a huge change but it is significant. Check out for yourself and tell me if you think it's better or not.

Get a motorbike and drive north from either Denpasar, Kuta or Ubud. The mountains have their own stories to tell. Here you can read some of them:

Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi is again charged. It's not new news. The sad story about the democrazy in Burma continues. I was once in Myanmar, in 1995 when this formidable lady was free. Not for long though. The struggle for freedom continues. Lets hope she will finally comes free. It's time many people come to this beautiful country.
