kids there's nothing like the cheerful company of children to make you laugh when you're tired (or sad) - True ... true - although i'm scared of bratty ones who usually look like they're ready to punch your face anytime!lols
Visa for Cambodia all I read about getting a cambodian visa are about scams and more scams ... but i was laughing at how you got through it (^o^)
heart-wrenching, lung-collapsing feeling -> sounds familiar! hmmm ...
Re: Li Yin hi li yin, good to hear from you! pretty sure you can climb kinabalu all year round. as for the 'items', do you mean the clothes, shoes, etc we wore? if so, there's really no special gear needed - i climbed in running shoes, and borrowed a torch from my KK guesthouse for the night climb. if you mean the base camp hut, or the guide, we just booked it when we first arrived in KK (there's a national park office in the town), then climbed a couple of days later. might be worth calling/emailing ahead to ask though, in case it's busy around that time. all the best, you'll love it!
question bout the KK climb Hi there michael. I was doing some research about a trip I am organising for me and a couple of mates at the year end when I stumbled upon your interesting picturesque blog. :)
I wanted to ask also do you know if they have climbs to KK around mid december? ALso, how did you managed to book the items for the climb? was it done online.
cheers, Michael. pleased u enjyoed the climb ^^
Thanks for the reply Michael :) I didnt see it until now. I just have to figure out where I am going to get the Uzbekistan visa and try to find at least one lone woman who has been there for reassurance. Pity my boyfriend is not so interested in going. Where did you get your visa?
nice work hi michael

Re: Mell great to hear mell, will be looking forward to reading the blogs of your trip there! as for uzbekistan, i didn't meet any lone women travellers there, although overall there were more tourists around than in kyrgyzstan, (a few big overlander package groups). i'd have to say that UZ did feel a little less welcoming than KYR in some ways, but overall i'm sure it'd be fine.
Another great blog! :)
I am now back from Kyrgyzstan where I came to no harm. Uzbekistan is another mystery country that I would not mind having a look at as soon as I get brave enough. Well, as soon as I get enough time I will close my eyes and jump more like. Did you meet any lone women travelling there?
Our Baby Sahyog project Dear Brother,
I realy appreciate your work and reports on the project at Melghat.
I would like share with you that My wife and myself with team of young people like Jeetu, Lima, Mahanant have started this work from Doma, a small village on the order of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
I am very glad that you have first hand experience in the villages.
Continue to visit us.
Thank you
Satish
ANOTHER anti-climax! Mate that's now TWO! First you were going to get into a fight - then they (or was it really you...?) whimped out and went home. Secondly, this! I want some action! Haha, ah the beauty of armchair-travelling :) But seriously, that was splendidly fantastic, and despite your caution (via Joel) i cannot wait to experience it all myself. I leave Perth on Jan 6th! :)
the more blog u ve put up, the more i realize...what i ve missed fr central asia trip =| as always...great words,great eyes, great adventures..michael !! =)
I check out travelblog regularly despite not being a blogger, and I must say, I look forward to your entries as they are very well crafted. And half the places you've been to, I never would have thought to go to, but are now on my list of places I want to see for myself. Keep writing and safe and happy travels.
Great Timing! Great blog timing for Dad's special birthday Michael! It is always a joy to read your blogs; so informative and fun. See you in a few days!
Thanks for a wonderful blog on my 60th birthday! What a great blog, Michael! Loved it, a special treat to read on my birthday, before we head off for our three day walk. Photos are amazing, along with a great text. Looking forward to the book!
Rampant Jealousy I haven't been anywhere since Thailand. These entries of yours are an indulgence for me that rarely end without me feeling jealous and like somehow my life is over because I'm not out having adventures being chased by soviet police forces in foreign countries. I still have a picture of me with a tiger, which still seems to impress people, but I just feel lame somehow. Thanks for rubbing it in.
PS- Mark and I are scoping out potential places for our honeymoon- for which I am DETERMINED to get out of the US. Australia/NZ are on the list. Suggestions?
Hey there - Awesome journey by the sounds of things. Laughed out loud at your loo video! It's certainly up there with the worst I've seen in my travels! Considering an overland journey back to India from Europe (where I am now) for next visit - so will continue to tune in with interest. Happy travels, Ellen
