What a sad day ,both of us came down with stomach problem ,and were not in normal condition to ride. Yesterday it was me first having stomach trouble while busy looking for Hotel and today it was Heather turn and practically slept for the whole day . I am getting better after taken 4 different tablets for stomach pain / stomach gas/ antibiotic/ diarrhoea. The suspected rootcause for this could be from the food we took along the way , and most likely the flies were all over the food while preparing in the kitchen. When the food is served on the table,the flies again flying & resting on top of it,our hands always kept busy chasing the flies away. Managed to do some internet update on my blog for 150T per hour. Hopefully by tomorrow 22/7 , we are back to normal to continue our journey to Turkestan 160 km away. c u on my next update!

Hi Meng,
Long time not visit your site... Could not access internet at home with computer virus... So much to catch up on - still only up to day 94. I am in Singapore now - came down from KL this morning. Too bad couldn't see you there (KL). Anyway good luck with your mission... Add oil!

If you have to lau sai, luckily you're in a nice hotel room to R n R in. Out camping, cerek berek is no fun.
Hi Meng,
Stomach problem again, becareful when u take the food outside even in the restaurant. anywhere, I will be leaving 2 weeks for my holiday trip, n I will be back after aug.
yeah, I will catch up ur blog soon.
Best regard,
Amos
Hi Meng.
Agree with # 2. Nothing like a nice hotel room n toilet when bowels are weak. Hope you guys are OK now and rearing to go.
I've got SUN Rhyno Lite rims on my tandem, OK so far because furthest distance was JB to Kota Tinggi, not B 2 P!
Rgds,

Day 102/103
Mr. Meng, How are u doing, still feeling week?
"Having set dish in this Istanbul restaurant", u really captured the nice moment of a girl in the picture. Once u look at it, I'm sure your sickness goes away.
You are doing great, keep cycling. Also say hello to Heather.
Deray from Taiwan has arrived in Troitsk, Russia. His link is:

Finally caught up! yay!
Hope you r feeling better now. Stanley told me of his experience in Turkey. Con "pros" r everywhere.. train station, public toilets, street vendors etc. Negotiate n agree on a price for everything first n count your returned change always.
oops..thought u were in Turkey when i read "Istanbul restaurant". All the same, do be cautious.
Hi Meng,hope you and Heather are ok again.be careful in big cities,it is the same all over the world.Good luck and safe drive!
Hi Ming,
Kiranya keadaan mu dan Heather sudah lebih baik sekarang. Kalau musti di pirit, kalau sedang naik sepeda, lebih baik sakit kelapa dari pada sakit perut:)
Jiayou!!

Hi Ming,
Oops, maksud saya 'sakit kepala' dan bukan 'sakit kelapa'! Mungkin karena sudah lama saya tidak makan kelapa mudah:)

chi fai,
No problem my fren , you still can visit Foo in subang jaya.Hope u enjoy your trip in Malaysia .
anonymous,
no problem even had to lau sai in camp ,I more use to camping. While I always dig a hole to cover them. but here I go to the bushes.
Chris,
Staying in hotel on this scale will punch a big hole in my pocket. I still prefer camp out unless my camera battery is flat.
Hi deray,
Good to get your comment. You too are doing great. In fact you are faster and cover more distance than me & Heather . I will be crossing to Russia on 9 Jul. How is Russian respond to tourist like us. Pls give some useful info, ok?
