Ali's Travels: A Month in Nepal
http://aliandmikey.blogspot.com/2011/12/month-in-nepal.html
Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. A Month in Nepal. I am sitting in an internet cafe in Southern India. We've been in India for a month. Since studying Hinduism and Buddhism at University, India is a place I've always wanted to come. Before our arrival people tended to look at us funny when we mentioned our plans to bike tour on the sub-continent. A Maryland based non-profit has been funding student scholarships and teacher development at the Mikey Medium English School in Bauniyan. Ambika Bhat has a won...

Ali's Travels: Mikey on India and Our Lies as Circus Bums
http://aliandmikey.blogspot.com/2011/12/mikey-on-india-and-our-lies-as-circus.html
Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. Mikey on India and Our Lies as Circus Bums. The long and short of it is: 1) Our shits are solid (the best consistency they have been in over a year for that matter), and 2) We have not lost our passports. Thus reassured that all is well in southern India most of you will likely not finish reading this email. For the rest of you: Ali's transformation into total bike bumness. Since I last wrote, we cycled across the Terrai. Our first night we camped in a wooded area next t...

Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. A view from our roof in Instanbul. This is a video from our hotel roof in Istanbul, Turkey. The Nobel Hotel is located in the Sultan Ahmet neighborhood. In the video you will see the Blue Mosque, which is located directly across from the Aya Sofia. As tourists, this was a great location to stage our adventures. Condalisa Rice: Calendar Girl? A photo album from Turkey is up. Thank you for your patience! Mikey and I have had a lot of fun this week! Speaks very good Russian?

Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. This is what happens when our Church branch gets together with the horse thieving Church branch.

Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. Mikey on Kazakhstan and our first days in Nepal. There are similarities and differences between cycling with Cam, and the rest of the "Stinky Finger Band", and cycling with Ali. One difference is that while cycling with Ali we never seem to completely run out of toilet paper. Is unquestionably the most chaotic and scary border crossing I have ever encountered. Border crossings are the scene on which states act-out control and sovereignty. The disorganization, panic.

Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. Plans to Purchase a Donkey. To answer a question posted in the comments section:. How are my plans to purchase a donkey coming? The answer is: EXCELLENT! More specifically, I have found a donkey that I intend to purchase for 150 Somoni or roughly $33, I have shaken hands with the donkey's current owner to communicate the deal is as good as done. The Donkey is located 5 km from Shaartuz. I plan to ride the donkey back to Shaartuz once it is purchased! Is the only option.

Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. At the recommendation of some Swiss cycle tourists we headed from Naryn to Song Kul Lake, it was good advice! Song Kul is an alpine Lakes surrounded by mountains that is at approximately 3000 meters. Where the mountains fade in to the lake is Jailoo territory. Jailoo is the term used to describe summer pasture land; higher altitude pastures are used for 5 months out of the year, May to September. Osh to Naryn Kyrgyzstan. Meeting Eugene and talking about these things rais...

Ali's Travels: Fat as a Good Thing
http://aliandmikey.blogspot.com/2011/12/fat-as-good-thing.html
Camp America Comes to Kyrgyzstan. Fat as a Good Thing. In Tajikistan last winter I was surprised to learn, and it took some time to get use to being told that I was fat was in fact not an insult but a tremendous compliment. I was frequently greeted in the mornings with statements such as:. You are looking very fat today! How fat you have become! You are fat and beautiful! I recently completed a book May you be the Mother of 1,000 Sons,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Afghan Market in Ishkashim.
