Believe it or not, time seems to fly by pretty quickly on the World by Road. Even though we were hiking through the sweltering heat and humidity of the jungles of Endau Rompin Malaysia over five months ago, it basically seems like yesterday. The scenery did not change much and the temperature essentially remained the […]

Out of Asia
November 18, 2007 – 3:15 am
We are nearing our end in Asia. From Indonesia to Russia we went spanned the continent South to North. From China to Turkey we will have made the passage from East to West. In covering this vast continent, we have encountered bandits, sand storms, snow storms, bears, foxes, cobras, camels, and countless geographical challenges. We […]
It is truly a different world.
November 12, 2007 – 12:08 am
In each country there are things that happen or things you read that remind you just how upside down the world is that surrounds you. On my recent trip back to the states, I purchased some 2-way radios for the trucks. When I was meandering about town trying to find the best setup I found […]
Keeping The Faith
November 9, 2007 – 6:03 am
I have to admit, our time spent in Kazakhstan was less than to be desired. A series of events, albeit isolated, left a pretty bad taste in our collective TWBR mouths and we were extremely ready to leave. I do not want to take our experiences in Almaty, Kazakhstan and use them to generalize the […]
Apparently, We Are Not Alone
November 7, 2007 – 6:01 am
We have been through a descent number of countries on our way around the world, have seen our fair share of cars and have a pretty good grasp on the type of cars that seem to be most prevalent. Without a doubt, Toyota comes in as the heavyweight to date in terms of the sheer […]
Update From the “Stans”
October 30, 2007 – 12:08 am
Hello everyone. In-between trying to figure out visas for the rest of the Central Asia countries we are attempting to cross, still taking account for what exactly got stolen from us in Almaty and meeting some new friends, I thought I would give everyone a quick update. We are currently in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and we […]
Tha Khek – One of the most and the least
October 27, 2007 – 7:49 am
Tha Khek is one of the least visited tourist towns in Laos. It is easy to see why. The majority of the people traveling through Laos do not have their own transportation. Without your own vehicle it is not possible to take Rte 12, which turns out to be one of the most amazing drives […]
Laos Photos

Okay, okay, so we are a little backed up. 5 Countries later and we are catching up on the photo galleries. We are working hard and many more will be coming over the next week but here is a small start. Pakse – Laos
It Was Bound To Happen
October 23, 2007 – 3:13 am
It was bound to happen. We knew in the planning phases of this expedition that even though you can minimize your exposure to theft, you can never fully protect yourself from it. We expected that we would become victims of theft at some point on the expedition, but it still does not make it any […]

Having watched the movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, I could not help but develop some preconceived notions of what Kazakhstan would be like, even though I knew the movie was fictitious and filmed entirely outside of Kazakhstan. My preconceived notions of Kazakhstan and its largest city, Almaty, […]
