As someone who by July 13 2015 will be on the road for 8 years non- stop
been around the World 5 times and walked in so many countries i can hardly recall on 7 continents
I always wanted to write an article about what exactly Internet has really brought to you :
– ” Travel Porn ” –
Of course all the Wannabe Travel journalists and/or Travel Agencies
would like you to believe that
all is beautiful, gorgeous and a must do on your bucket list.
I will refrain myself from making any comments about all those beautiful, toughest and un-forgettable races
you have to take part to …
as of course the only unforgettable thing about those races is the numbers on your bank statement , silly boy !
So just let me talk about those AMAZING PLACES and your feeling when arriving at a new unknown place.
You are aware that if you stay a few days the little details such as customs, food , dress, language – will gradually begin to normalize and to quote Robert Louis Stevenson – it is the traveler only who is foreign.
Few words about those Amazing places and Holidays
• Rio de Janeiro where I spent one full month
a plain tourists trap with no soul and no character
I would compare it to Nice in July – August
Hard to imagine a place such as Rio which is view as full of parties, music, dance and samba
to be so soporific with beaches painfully empty of persons except the tourists
with too many plastics bags floating on their shores at least to my taste.
adding that the only Brasilian ladies who dare to hang around might not be ladies
or just Fat, full of cellulite cougars with lot of Mileages .
– Please do yourselves a favor and save lot of money by traveling to S.E.A, Australia or Okinawa
if you want to understand what Awesome beaches are .!
• Vina del Mar
Seriously ! … I don’t want sound like a party popper here again
but before saying that Vina del Mar has one of the greatest Fireworks in the World
Have you ever been to China or … … experience Hanabi season in Japan … ?
• Valparaiso, the historic quarter of Valparaíso which was declared a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 2003
– was named by Spanish explorers after Valparaíso de Arriba in Cuenca, Spain
it’s just village up the hill with some “art”-painting on the wall …
Just traveled by car through South of France, Corsica, North of Spain or Italy …
My recommendation would be if you wanted a better taste of Chile ,
is to drive a bit North up to LA SERENA …
walk/run all the way to Coquimbo
and enjoy their still Local fish market, free of international Tourists !
• Hokkaido and the rider Experience …
i read in a bloke blog
<> We would like take this opportunity to attempt to express to all those bikers out there why Hokkaido,
beyond rider houses, scenery, and onsens, is still such a biker’s paradise.
It’s about, for lack of a better term, the “biker experience”. Hokkaido, simply put, is Japan’s last frontier.
More so than any other land we’ve ridden <>
So here again I’m concerned , I have had since age 16 – 7 bikes over 11 years before I move to Japan
I rode across France all the way to England and back
I traveled on my 1969-R60/2 BMW in a single month through the French, Italian Swiss alps along with Tyrol in Austria
and most importantly rode all around Japan 2 months with my wife on a motorbike
and i can easily write that Hokkaido is not a Paradise but a Nightmare …
Nagano region being much more Beautiful…
