Today's spending: 1426 som

After having complimentary b/f of ried egg & sausages with coffee.The driver from the Nomad's Home fetch me to the bike shop about 5 km for 60 som.Managed to locate with the address given by Gothern from Austria cyclist.It is not actually a shop but a house bike business runs by a Russian with parts mostly from Taiwan. It is almost impossible for any newcomer to find if you don't has an address with telefon # with you. Oleg speaks a little English so there is no problem to tell him what I want for my bike.I bought a new Alex A16 rim with 2 spare tubes + workmanship ,all for 980 som but I paid in US dollar 25. I tested the bike by riding it back ,looks good with no problem in gear shifting.Done a few updates in an internet for 24 som /hr ,will continue tomorrow.Heather is still no news when I went back to the Nomad's home. Hopefully tomorrow gets to see her!
