Hello Kennichi,

Good luck, you're only gonna be a better man after all this, hard knocks and falls do make us stronger. Your story is very impressive, your balls are bigger than mine. I can only learn from what you're doing, I'd love to venture that far on my own. Prehaps one day, I'll become a jedi knight and feel the calling.

ta-all-the-way.

May the Force be with you !

Hi Kennichi,

good to read that you are feeling better. In your first post you looked like in were really low. I really felt for you!

I hope I will be able to follow in your steps in 18 months time. Shame you took down your blog. Not many blogs of people doing your route (North Asia).
I hope to meet you and pick up your brain if you come back to the UK before our departure!
Best of luck!

stomach

Kennichi mate, how are your stomach bugs? Still bloated, very tired, etc? If so, if complaints persist, thought crossed my mind that it might be an idea to try a course of metronidazol against giardia? 250 mg three times daily, 7 days, dont drink alcohol with it (you'll get smashingly sick if you mix it with alcohol)?

in russian you write it: МЕТРОНИДАЗОЛ
just a suggestion.. keep your head up!

grtz, Marjos, currently in St Pete, on my way east.

Majos, Thank you for posting the last bit, your Amsterdam location had me worried for a second

Kennichi, how you doing? What are the electrical symtoms? Anything someone with a lap top full of wiring diagrams might be able to help with?

I know about the antibiotics I am supposed to take a kind vet told me which ones to take, but then I thought whats the point? in that if ll the food is contaminated (and it is, after the meat balls I attempted to eat about an hour ago contained pubic hairs short and curly).

Then all that will happen is that I will get it again after I am cured and again and again , causing the bacteria to become immune to the antibiotic.

The Americans I camped with last night were also sick in the morning too after eating similarly contaminated food.

Which meant although the advice I got is good its probably better not to take them as I'll only get sick again, I'm getting used to the horrible poos I am having and having to vomit within an hour or two of eating anyway.

I have however lost a large amount of weight I'm guessing 30-40lbs which the vet is concerned about.

That sounds nasty.

I'd be tempted to go on something that's harder for them to make a mess of. Bottled water and bread or plain rice would be my thought but no idea what's available. Stay well hydrated.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
