100 Kilometers and runnin' (ride report now in the Philippines)

[DanTheMan]

I feel all left out sitting in Europe
What an incredible plan (or lack thereof)
Very happy for you!

Well if makes you feel any better, I've meet a lot of Europeans on this trip already.

I'd love to get back to Europe and ride it properly, but the Euro is not kink to my American dollar.

And here's my photo album from September, I know where you took that pic in your Avatar.

I will, may need some assistance in purchasing a bike. Ill need to pick your brains to see whats allowable.

The worst part of street food, is those stupid little chairs, i don't exactly fit. Haven't broken one yet.

If I (6'4" 270) didn't break one, you won't!  Great trip. Are you headed towards Dalat?  That was my favorite city when I was there a couple of years ago.

I'm in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, approx 330 miles south of the Malaysia - Thailand border. See you in April Dan .......

Just in case you'll be interested Dan ..... 9 - 12 April, Songkran festival (Thailand New Year) will take place. Water will be splashing & coming from every direction & most of the Thais major town will be wet. I might be in Phuket during that time as usually it also coincide with Phuket Bike Week... You might wanna show your Minsk there

Ask away with any details, probably best while i can still rememberr.

Probably, just ran into a couple who's room was broken into and money and camera were stolen while they where in there sleeping! Wont keep me from going, but its the first time ive had a first hand account of this type of behavior.
