29 years ago (to the day), I was born. When my father saw me for the first time, he asked himself out loud: "How should these ever become cycle legs?",whilst making a circular movement with my tiny, inexperienced legs. Now, 29 years later, I can answer him that cycling halfway through Eurasia is one way to do it.
Thanks for all the kind messages (fascinating how these signals from all over the place buzz through all those antenna's and finally make it to my Kazakh sim.. in a second or two), mails and tags on my e-wall!
(Pictures: the day I took these I cycled through most of the 20th century. A lot of atrocities passed in front of my mind's eye. Then came 'now', and then the future. If the surroundings were anything to go by, than it's going to be pretty dry and monotonous in the years that lie ahead of us. So let's prove that wrong and take care of the world we live in! (Corny I know, but it's my birthday and I preach if I want to.))

Wij hebben de kou van Almaty achter ons gelaten op 28 oktober en mijn verjaardag heb ik dus mogen vieren in smoggy Delhi!
