The Travel Towel Tutorial

To stay clean and thus healthy on adventurous travels (oh, yes, even at home), the following might come in handy some day …

1) Make sure your beloved towel has an unequivocal “front”, “back”, “top”, and “bottom”. Find yourself a fail-safe system to identify these: Possible indicators are labels, stickers, and prints—or stuff you applied yourself because you, in all your wisdom, realized that this indeed is crucial for towel related hygiene matters.

2) Now, invent a pattern that allows you to keep body parts, well, apart. For example, the one pictured above works quite well:

Front (easy stuff): 1/3—Head, 2/3—Torso, 3/3—Legs

Back (careful with these beauties): 1/3—Genitals, 2/3—Butt, 3/3—Feet

3) Finally, be happy because you won’t end up with your muddy feet being rubbed all over your face.

A few months after my departure

… I found myself crossing some Himalaya mountains on a tiny custom build Chinese bike.

The only thing I remember about Lijiang

… is the stomach pain I got from eating the entire time.

We've got company.

It’s the first day of me and my bike riding alone, heading to Lijiang.

Meanwhile, Jonathan from Brussels was drowning.

The whole village had gathered. The men constructed a raft with little clay figures on top. The women brought food and decorated the family’s balcony.
