 «Repeated intrusion on territory of Chingiz of the Khan» - as that asks such name. Certainly, force here nobody exhausts me! But believe to me, almost all bikers – truckers with the great pleasure visit this country. In the first - arrival here it is absolute безпроблемный. In the second - is on what to look and than to admire. Well and that касаемо me my arrival is connected more with a semi-official organ, the meeting with president НОК of Mongolia is appointed and anywhere won't get to! It is necessary!

 By the ship the tragical message about death of my friend – motor-traveler Alexey Barsukova - Skuta has come. More recently we together participated on Bajk Feste «On the brink of the Earth» in the Find. It was especially heavy to it to reach to the Far East from Nizhni Novgorod on the small SCOOTER (at it and байкерская nickname СКУТ), but not in it business. The main thing that it went by the two-wheeled friend, as well as we on the heavy trucks. After the festival termination, we have said goodbye and have gone every which way, it home, and I on islands to continue кругосветку. By the way I to it have told that if all will go on oil I will try to catch up with it on ФЕДЕРАЛКЕ. It is a pity! It is a pity the guy. Was simply soul of all companies. Huge talent in manufacturing of self-made Moto Trajkov. Very much understood interiors of motorcycles, and it is not casual to it all bikers on repair of the iron horses addressed. To explain the reason of so terrible tragedy it is impossible. I проколесил on the world and such perverted monsters didn't meet on the way. There is in village Jeanne, near Erofej Palycha live such types and wait for the victims. What brains need to be had to kill and then 2 days to burn a body and after that easy to work and accept truckers in the poor cafe.

 SAKAMINATO. East city of Japan. I will tell fairly, it became for me the most significant and important place on island Honshu, already because here has occurred much and events and important meetings. Actually, when we were put forward from DongHe (Korea) to Japan many Russians (especially inhabitants and serious businessmen) prophesied us a total failure with arrival to Japan. You see they are on friendly terms many years and trade with Japan, and here to drive there on the transport or on a motorcycle to anybody it was not possible yet. Certainly, I didn't begin to argue with them, have told only one: I from Kazakhstan. And further it will be visible! 2006 when breaking all laws and rules was remembered, I all the same have managed to break to Japan from Australia (look a diary – Motokrugosvetka 2006 www.bike.kz). Then I went on huge risk. But, generally any trip to any country is a RISK. |
 Life introduces the corrective amendments. We assume, and God has. Before to get to South Korea – with me much that has occurred. But all already behind. I again in movement. As I spoke earlier, Hong Kong - Taiwan – Macao – Korea – Japan it is possible to name this route safely – МОТО – SHIP travel of biker Petruhina. And after all it is valid, similar with me was in far 2006 when it was necessary to reach on water to Australia. Couldn't assume in any way that it can repeat. Though, by and large, to ship a bike on the ship and to float with it further, not so it is difficult. And after all it is difficult! It and official registration of papers, and таможка, both insurance, and reception of permissions different. While you will ship a bike in hold you will become crazy. Moreover to me speak, that I floated on other – the passenger ship. I will not tire. The main thing that while all dares POSITIVELY. But, lines, EXPENSIVELY!

Irby as a gift from the Taiwanese master |
 The first thing I asked the representatives of Taiwan's Olympic Committee, when I phoned them on the phone from Macau - whether it is necessary that I met on the quay bikers Taipei (it's - the capital of Taiwan). Of course, I am pleased to have agreed and thanked him for this attention to my modest person. But it somehow reminded of 2008, Africa ... Then I dropped in from Libya to Egypt, and a similar proposal was from our diplomats in the capital of this country. So, I drove to Egypt - no one ... And just at the entrance of Cairo saw meet me ... two bikers! Even after talking with them, I realized that the bike clubs they have, but more on paper. And the numbers - from 2 to 10, and bikers. As they explained, they had no such mass movement as a biker in Europe or America. Well, okay, it was still nice to ride with them on the streets of Cairo ... Well, in Taiwan, as I feel happened is the same as in Egypt. |

Formal and informal Hong Kong |
 Whenever I sit down at the diary of me begin to fight two men. The first wants to write about the official part of our expedition, which is dominated by public relations in Kazakhstan, meetings with heads of national Olympic committees, the second, like most readers, is interesting in its journey, descriptions of countries, stories about the traffic incident and some extreme situations ...
But I dare say that officialdom is not so monotonous and boring as it may seem to some. I remember almost all the meetings with the leaders of the NOC-s, - and each country is our mission met in a special way.
Here in Hong Kong when we come to a meeting with sports leadership, right at the entrance we were issued badges and all the team offered to leave your guestbook entries. But what was my surprise when I saw the president of the National Olympic Committee (he is - the minister of sport) Hong Kong (hkolympic.org) Timothy Tsun-Ting Fok (Timothy Tsun Ting Fok)! It was he who in February 2007 in Changchun in the closing ceremony of the VI Asian Winter Games on the rights of one of the vice-presidents of the OCA OCA flag handed to Imangali Tasmagambetov.

Macau - the "other" China |
 Yes, we had a lot of tricky to get to the island of Macau! Already very expensive to get carry with you on the islands of technology, so even with such a modest budget, as we have ...
There were, then hide the proposal to refuse visits to several small states - by virtue of their geographical location and the fact that they are not among the sports leaders in Asia and the Middle East. But I decided to more tightly belted ", as they say at the bikers, all the countries of the OCA (and there are exactly 45), that was not insulting anyone. Especially because the last time I often receive emails from sports executives, where they ask the same question: "When waiting for your expedition to this country?". And my tongue does not turn to tell them, sorry, they say, but I have not come to you. So, the issue has been resolved clearly and completely: go to all countries!
