Bombay to Beijing: Flew to Mumbai in March 2004 and backpacked through India, Nepal, Tibet and China for more than 4 months. The trip is all over now, but the photos and blogs are still with us.

Getting ready for my next big trip - a cycle tour across Japan, top to bottom. The plan is to set off in August from the northern tip of Japan and just keep on pedaling south.

Chip & Best
finally in india. first impression: the sweet fragrance of diesel, dogs, sweat and incense
already feeling that sensory overload that india's infamous for. like a frightened little puppy i made straight for the hotel we'd booked online. the confirmation e-mail read:
Please wel come to hotel causeway your Double Room is confirmed Tariff Rs, 1500 and best way to get our hotel from the int'l airport? Taxi? Yes sir Chip & best but you tel him Taxi man My hotel is Just oposit to Colaba Police Station Next To Leopold Cafe. Only.
not quite the 5 star experience, but passable and central (though at about US$30 a night, about 10 times what we would learn to pay elsewhere)
