Second step... the itinerary

For now, I still only have a rough draft of it as I still need to check whether or not I will have the time to do it and if not which towns I will not visit. Anyway, here it is :

The whole itinerary
The part in Asia

Advice are still welcome.

First step... the backpack !

Though it is best to choose it after deciding what to bring, I couldn't resist the temptation (another example of the consumption fever that has been inhabiting me since I have landed in Japan).
As a result, after jumping from retailers websites to advice websites, I rushed to a shop dreaming about the perfect bag for the four next months: with a lot of gadgets (at least with a shower and a television), fancy so that I can even look cool in disco with it and very light (if it could reduce partially the weight of the inserted clothes...).
I am sorry to tell you that I didn't find such a bag... but with the advice of the seller, I found a cheap, light and not too ugly one. With 60L I will even be able to bring you some souvenirs... maybe !


And I took the chance to buy a wonderful sleeping bag (in fact, I am still trying to convince myself) which will be very useful in India when it will be 40 degrees (maybe I should have bought a PSP instead...) as it has been designed to make the user sleep comfortably even with 6°c outside. Anyway, I hope to use it during my crossing of the Siberia (I finally have a rough itinerary).


I am ready to face the world ! (almost...)

Il faut un début à tout - A beginning is needed for everything

Et à défaut d'être celui du voyage qui va occuper ces quelques pages internet, ce sera tout d'abord la création du-dit récipient.
Pour marquer mes surprises ou tout simplement donner de mes nouvelles et prouver que les Mongoles ne m'ont pas encore fait rôtir, j'espère que ce journal électronique vous sera agréable à lire.
Enfin, pour permettre aux quelques Japonais de pouvoir me lire, j'écrirai tout en Anglais (interdit de se moquer, seulement de me corriger). J'en entends qui râle déjà et bien moi je leur rétorque que vous avez tous appris cette langue passe-partout alors un petit effort... et à très bientôt pour le récit des préparatifs.


And even if it's not the start of the trip that will be told about in these few internet pages, this will be the creation of this previously refered blog.
To emphasize my surprises or to simply give some news and prove that I still haven't been cooked by some Mongols, I hope that this electronic diary will be pleasant to read.
Finally, to enable the Japanese to read me, I will write everything in English (it's forbidden to make fun of me, the only allowed thing being to correct my mistakes). I am already hearing some grumbling about this... to these people I will answer that you all learnt this useful language so I only ask of you a little effort... See you soon for the tale of the preparations.
