How many useless things do you own? Everyone has these experience: you don’t throw away the stuff you like, or things with Memorial value; you don’t throw away stuff that grow on you, or stuff you left at the corner. Now you are owning a lot of stuff, but are they all necessary? I’ve owned a shelf of books, but I really can’t recall all the content, especially when it is needed. Maybe only the most important things are meant to be kept.
I have only take 3 set of cloths: one for riding, one for backup and one to go out like a normal human. With my computer, electronic and tripod, it is barely 20 kg.

If you notice the white plastic bag, I didn’t spend money in the airport. I forgot to take my shoe inside when it rained yesterday and I have to bring it straight to Japan.

I am so scare of air turbulence that I would prefer a bike ride in rain. So God hear my pray and let it rain when I arrive.

Please stop please stop please stop, but it didn’t. So I take my time and unpacked my bike.


With my raincoat on I rush to the hostel. And my GPS went wild and bring me to nowhere.

With my luggage unloaded, I ride around despite of the rain.

I was suppose to go to take the Japanese public bath, but it is closed! Do the Japanese don’t wash when it rains? Probably because they are all wet.

Met Dadou when I was back to hostel. He has traveled for 7 days on bike already, from Tokyo to Nagoya, and I am going to take the same route in the opposite direction.
Dadou will ride around Japan for 6 months and he has a blog too. Go have a look, quick![/caption]Dadou-on-the-road
Dadou said it will be tailwind for me in the coming ride, what an wonderful news!
