Hi Meng - you made it to France! Fantastic! –
I hope the Malaysian Embassy in Paris will make a BIG welcome party for your arrival – you deserve it.
Wish you continued safety and enjoyment on the last leg to your destination

brother meng,
finally, you are in france and knowing paris is just couple days ahead definately make everyone excited, bravo brother meng, just keep going before you know it everything will be over. take care and you are always with us back home in SS19, S.Jaya TTK headquater. Zhangtyco.
Hi Meng,
Good to read that you made it to Strasbourg. Earlier, I made a mistake with Honau. Seems that there are 3 Honau in Germany.
You can still hit 15K km on your 'Bend' but you will have to clock up more km/day (as time is not on your side) by taking a longer route to Paris and London from now. Final decision is yours.
Cheerio my man.

Hello there Mr.Incredible,
Bonjour Eddie Meng, WOW...!! you must be feeling on top of the world from a " MISSION IMPOSSIBLE " to a " MISSION ACCOMPLISH " soon.
We at TTKs are so pleased that you have finally reached France soil. 2k km less is not an issue here as its still a record that not many people can achieved in such a short 6 months.
Bravo Meng, TTKs or rather the whole Malaysian people are so PROUD of you. You are definately one of our national hero.....
Meanwhile, ride safely and enjoy the last leg of your incredible journey. TTks are gearing up for a big welcome home party for you come NOV 30th. or rather DEC 01st here in Malaysia at KLIA as well as at our TTK headquarter at SS19.

Hi Meng,
Great to see you in France, and allmost near the Paris. Anywhere, I proud of you, you really make it happened.
once you reach london, do u consider cycle back from london to malaysia or taking train more london back to malaysia.
that will be fun if traveling in the train to malaysia, right?
Best regards,
Amos

Brater Meng,
Where have you been? MIA? When you walk beside the Eiffel Tower, don't forget to take as many shots as possible. We would love to see you there beside your recumbent bike. Hero of the year, many cheers from the TTKs.
Meng...g, where are you?
We all are anxious, very anxious to see you arrive in Paris. The suspence is killing me man.
Folks out there - I think he took my advice to try and clock up 15K km on his 'bend'.
