WT: Battling the Yellow Dust, Supported by Friends

Hey Mau-Netherlands & Ger-Malaysia

Perfect timing for a wake-up call. I've been wondering the same thing (one...when does the next course begin, this week??? two...what have you guys been up to???) I passed all three stages of the Tour Du Work and learning (:

It's been so long since I rode my bike but my lungs are caked with the yellow dust and infections persist. This year has been especially hard on me, although making babies was an easy part (:

The idea of being purely alone (while on expedition) is my recurring daydream. But, in my face is the battle of everyday work and learning which is the toughest part of the routine in Korea.

The environmental pollution (or my allergic reaction exposed while training in it?) is especially difficult this year is unreal, I've probably shaved a few years off my healthy life with exposure to something I can't even see, the invisible dust that is killing me...

Feeling lonely? I know this too. I was in that place during the final of three years in the sunshine state...along that road, through a 6-month stage at an Ashram, I changed my focus from being an 'acrobat of the road' when I transitioned to becoming an English teacher in Korea/China. It was the deeper concentration while living with the monks (meditation and yoga everyday) which provided a new vision and purpose of settling down (teaching became a career occupation, my wife became my guide). There are always exceptions in life, one is my ambitions of riding the bike 32,000km in one journey.

My friend/blogger/writer Juan is the Acrobat of the Road (read that blog!) He's designing an eco-friendly lifestyle selling a book to support his journey, I would recommend the read to anyone considering taking the wanderlust life professionally (:

Juan crafts his daily life with observations of the daily lives of the people he encounters off the beaten paths. Providing insightful presentations about his nomadic experiences; he's living free and his current philanthropic journey rediscovers South America's cultures, economy and everyday lives of different communities living across the hinterland of an enormous continent in the southern hemisphere.

When you finally put out that 'lonely fire' you'll be surrounded by life's priorities. It's at this stage, when you'll start to think about how good it is to be alone (on the range/road in my case).

I've been blog-tweaking and have attempted to learn 'Dreamweaver CS4' to design a professional site for the expedition in 2012, however, alone on the project I am struggling to put it together. I think staying indoors to protect my health is really a mental struggle...the tiny dust I can't see outside is slowly killing me...it's been one hell of a fight this spring!

Regular blog has it's new updates: Korean-World

My wish is feeling better...but I am still in 'recovery mode' from a dust I cannot see coming from Mongolia, across China (adding heaps of toxins and bio-hazardous pollutants), getting finer and less visible the further it travels on airmass from it's origin until, finally, getting trapped in my lungs, my throat, and this is where the battle is being neither won nor lost, I am just trapped until this toxic plume works its way out, leaving a wake of residual infection to battle until I get back out on the road training again. I miss the feeling of waking up smelling a bicycle journey hot on the stove!!!

Peace to my fellows in this 'journey' called life and be not alone, send me a message ^_^...!!!

WT: Cycling in Morocco - Youssef Boucetta

About 1/2 a year ago, whilst going through the Facebook groups, I met a young cyclist-to-be-Expeditioner named Youssef Boucetta. This guy is really cool, as I can say he will approach anyone and everyone interested in cycling, expeditions, bicycle touring, or those whom have devoted a great deal of their life to two wheels. I've been fortunate to become friends with such a great guy in Morocco, even though I have never been there or any place on that corner of the globe. Well, recently Youssef got handles on a new digital camera, an ace to his advance to sharing his goodwill message from Cycling in Morocco, and I wanted to share his recent work here on Korean-World. Although my site began as a space for my ESL teaching experience, it's now evolved, sharing the Cycling Spirit that forms a strong collective of riders around the world. I hope to experience the full-intensity of a ultra-distance cycling expedition , the time I will set aside to ride ONE, from the Arctic to Argentina in 2012-2013(32,000km, more about that over here). Ok, back to Cycling in Morocco...brought to you by Youssef Boucetta, a new name, one that will become familiar in Cycling groups, when this lad launches into his own World Expedition in the future. Until then, he's got a whole world to discover in Morocco, as I have found in South Korea. Look around you, the adventure is really right there where you left it, pick up yourself, pack your gear, and ride!!! - Brian Perich, writing from a small apartment in Siheung, South Korea.

Chiaksan Mountains, Cycling in Korea's finest fields of joy!

Cycled out of Wonju City, Gangwon Province and found a nice place to camp.

Inside the tent, we have the raisins, apples and a TESCO product here! ha!

Life on the road is lighter, faster, further you go.

Looking forward to One - Arctic to Argentina.
