Remarks and misshaps
M6 -------- at Lobpuri close to Burma djungle border I got unwanted close to Burma territory, street signs in thay, the border petrol found me in djungles and the pick up was good for taking me back from djungle track not far from 3 pagodas which I got to see onmap later during winter counts 2025. Some interested buzzards overhead by that impressing rare sighting in Tiger areas.
K7 ------ Krabi was bad because the stole the card in that funky something and she saied ahe got many cards (part of a system ?), not the vallet but the card, so on foot.
Also in SO asia travel guide book the say at some coastal place they turn every stone and shell at Thayland. Got back on foot, partly by cabs and busses back to the capital, resting in palmoil plantations, capitals name is Bangkok. The kings hotel is in Bavaria, and I got told from a local thay in AT that he is a gigolo.
R2 -------- distances are huge in Oman, People friendly and hitch hiking usually no problem. Dont get lost in deserts.
R3 --------- distances are huge in Tansania, usually maior busstands in travel hubs can do, as Iringa or in Mbeia where there was a motorbikers demo at that times, hitch hiking can get complicated, but also local volks do it, not all cars have good windows. Usually people are friendly and can speak some english, main language is Suaheli. Tanzania has worlds biggest avocados.
M 7 ----- I wanted to get back to India but either from Sri Lanka neither from Nepal possible, the visa got too complicated, Nepals streets are a disaster, not only long out onway to the peaks but also in the capital itself, watch your steps, streets are bad. And electric wires can be anywhere even down to street level.
Remarks and misshaps
M 9 ----- I tried to get out of Mexico city by good bus, AC, but the card was a problem even as the bus stand was gated and with quite a few modern looking counters, so I left town on foot passing the FED EX airport (has abou 250 planes) - hitch hiking. At that times Mexico had 70 murders a day !
D8 ------ there are inner and outer lines and that is Koka areas, onway from Huanuco down to djungles and up to Tarapoto and further, security can look different here and there along streets depending for what crops or guys. Do not get into any cars offered for rides with young guys. Cars can hardly do in snow storms up the high passes and then down to djungles, take cabs. Roads can anywhere be bad and gravel ones in total Amazonia. Djungles can be great, but often a challange.
MO ------ visiting frinds in Maharashtra a rural state in India, with mum from Europe.
