During our trip we met the Hunza People of Northern Pakistan, and later, I came across this book about them Les Hunzas, in french by Ralph ? published in the 70's... they are the most amazing people we encountered, there knowed for the tribe without diseased that lived to be very very old!But check it out!
At midnight freedom, Dominique Lapierre , it talks about the partition of India through all it's major actors of the time and specially the Mahatma Gandhi. Very well written and accurate ... if you like India read this.
L'Empire de la Honte or The Shame Empire written by Jean Zeigler...man this book gets your heart pomping, if your on in rage after this you must be dead!
Autobiographie of Gandhi! Really this his a great exemple, of the living truth...this book broth back home some left out philosophie and practise, and just give me even more respect for the people that had tought me Truth! His story his a very good inspiration on Integrity Love and Dedication

In november 2005, me and this charming French man, have taken on an adventure on our bikes, not very sure of how far it will take us. Specially depending on the financial aspect and how long we could support each other! It was an improvised trip, a step by step to our goal...France!

India 22JAN 2007..HEY HEY MOTHER INDIA...Long time no see!!
Well we tried it, ..cycling in India...it's possible...but we don't recommend it...as much as the little village and mud house are definably charming...well the road as small as it is...does take all the charm away. Oh God ! What a test of patience it is!!!

PAKISTAN AND THE KARAKOROM HIGHWAY/ april to may 2006- Travelling really puts you there with the reality of a country and a culture, Pakistan will be one of the country that will always stay in my heart. Religion have is bad and it's good, and one thing that strong everyone that I know that's been in a muslim country it is there generosity. They will welcome you like familly with the out most respect regardless of there own ideal. But the population of the far north area is a very special one that I recommand anyone to discover, The Hunza, the tribe that didn't know disease and live to be over 100 years old, no problem. I say take away your boundry and prejudice for a country and go visit a muslim country, you'll understand much better what's happening in the world now!! ****************************************************************
CHINA/MAY06- China ia a beautifull country to see in all it's contrast, it's changing fast now, but in the country side of the south west XiangChian, you still can see the traditionnal Ouigour life style, but in Kasghar you have to go out of the main street and get lost in the back street to discover the real culture of the Ouighour and not the Chinese. Ounce oyu walk out in theold city, you can feel like in Aladdin time, and the story of Sherazad. We had a blast getting stucked in a sand storm, and we realize quite fast that we really had to watch our water level and food provision, bacause we did ran out of water out there. It's a part that is really dry, but like you can see on the picture, unbelievable!
So your working on the next adventure!!Le tour du monde en montgolfiere???Dis men plus...Est tu toujours au pays de la mouche noir ou bien lappel de louest ta conquis,entk jattend de tes nouvelles... Maxx
Thats great that you had wonderful stay here in Islamabad. I see you camped in F-11 area,actualy most foreigner peoples who likes to camp in Islamabad stay near Abpara where city administration alocated a graden place for them and charging minimum price for it.
Islamabad itself is great picnic spot if you hiked over margalla hills and moves deep into the valleys of Hazara (if you been upto Pir Showa)then now some camp place is also alocated near by Rawal Lake. You never tells me in detail about your trip to Pakistan, so i am requesting you to tell me details of it, which cities of Pakistan you travelled and what impressed you about this place, food, culture and anything u like to share :-)
Hope to hear from you soon in detail about your trip and stay :-)
Indeed it was memorable trip of my life as we went through rough of patches in limited time. Find it hard to sit for such long time in buss and then continous hiking for almost 19 hours in three days, living in tents in natural enviornment, all seems great. Even then i missed some real tracks to go through, like going to Chitral (Kalash Valley) to see their annual celebration from Mustang and literly we travelled like crazy guys but at the mid we find out the road is blocked due to landslide with glaciers :-(( My passion still young so i will make it in July when i go to see Shandur Polo game at Shandur :-)
Great to here you have settled down! Maybe next time we can come down to France to visit you both... I can't find Julien on HC, - if he wants to get a comment from me, I should know his username. ;) And, BTW, we still have guests NON STOP! ;)
hey Aivah, its great to hear from you! Its been so long. I see that you have been quite busy! Man, someday thats what I'll be doing, too. But for now, I'm happy with the family, they keep me very busy, and although I try to keep the zen view, I don't always succeed! Come by and see us sometime if you're down this way! Much love to you, Candice
