The Middle East through the cycle is too far away from this mortal world desert tribes

Bedouin women finished dishes, the girls took out to clean. At this time, the men of Arabia "Ta ta...... Almost finished, adults, children, the elderly, women are concentrated in the tent and watch tv. That day, accompanied by the diesel generator voice rumbling, I read Arabic subtitled version "prison break". So, the tie this secluded desert tribes and modern society, this kind of feeling wonderful.

Cycling through the Middle EastCycling through the Middle East

Author Liu Wen

Born in 1972, the first ride in Lhasa on 2000, the first foreign bike in 2003, spent 9 months. Riding second times in 2009, spent 6 months. This two trip covered Asia, Europe and africa. Leave America, plans completed in 5 years, his bike to travel around the world dream will be realized.

Ride through the Middle East is forced, but an adventure I don't regret.

A journey from Britain, after 3 months, cycling through Europe, intend to start the trip to asia. Results in Greece is stuck, pushing a bicycle across the Eurasian Continental Bridge seems to be no hope. Either give up travel, either across the Mediterranean, is around the Middle East, I can only choose the latter. Because the Middle East in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria of the Three Kingdoms holding Chinese passports are issued visa. So, my middle east adventure began.

The ancient city of Iran on the outskirts of the ancient site of Yazd is not enough to see the scenery journeyThe ancient city of Iran on the outskirts of the ancient site of Yazd is not enough to see the scenery journey

A custom painting

Recombinant good cargo has been chopped up the bike, ride from Beirut to Damascus, the scenery is like a huge studio, had just finished filming the war movie, is preparing the city film.

Tanks and the BMW 7 series together, H&M Fast China Road (fashion advertising and China's high-speed, is probably the Chinese built highway advertising or Chinese road company advertising) spreading. After years of political turmoil and war, but now people's life condition is good, full of vitality. I met a group of students, called out to me: I Love China! Someone has to show me his tattoo, the arm is the 4 Chinese people understand, but at least it is Chinese characters, in the distance.

Depart from Beirut. The first day of noon, rest on the roadside, people take the initiative to send Pepsi and Nang, and is free of charge. Unfamiliar passers-by attention, let people believe in this land: love, everywhere.

Now I like to return to the GTR in India many years ago (India highway) terror ride trip: from Beirut in the one breath to over 2628 m Jabel Sannine mountain, the relative elevation is roughly equivalent to the Qinghai-Tibet line over the Kunlun and Tanggula pass pass the difficulty. In fact, the road here is much steeper, I spent a day and a half, the very next day at noon before the The Nakhleh Summit, and continue to ride to the Baalbek (Baalbek), along the highway 4 back Aanjar - the Lebanese-Syrian port. The two places have the Romans left to the monuments, the temple of Barr Beck (Heliopolis) is the most complete, the momentum of the grand, no less than the Acropolis in athens. There is no Acropolis so many tourists, almost I a, can not happiness? Barr Beck town is the way I see the most classical Arabia atmosphere of the place, the hustle and bustle of the bazaar, shop, shop, flower shop, perfumery formed a vivid picture of the Middle East custom painting. Pass by a coffee cart, I was also the enthusiasm of local people to drink the Arabia coffee, one glass of wine, such as liquor, with cinnamon fragrance.

From Barr Beck to Aanjar is 50 km, is a narrow valley, wheel across the olive fields, wheat fields, roadside densely populated, a bit messy but full of angry. In the evening, echoed in Damascus minaret chanting, I arrived at the hotel in the old city. A fountain, a traditional Arabia courtyard, guests are colored glass wall smoking a hookah in the decoration, the time is.

Now, I went into a piece of history. Damascus certainly does not lack a long history on the hillside, you can easily identify the Christian civilization, Babylon culture and Muslim civilizations, bit by bit, the old city walls in Rome, called the walls (Roman Wall), two thousand years in Qing Dynasty still stands; the stone is the third Century product mosque door in Umayyad; Capitoline the white marble black color is not for the sake of weathering, but people touch, because the Umayyad mosque to worship the history of too many people.

Like all of the ancient city, the old city of Damascus is full of life, the whole city is composed of numerous bazaar, temples and living area of the maze, the unique style of architecture, black people in Ethiopia and the white skin of the Bedouin, interesting food - such as oven baked pizza with small fennel odor. All these make a living history. But the most interesting is the old bathhouse child: dome structure of the building, inlaid with colored glass, exquisite luxury facilities and the church. And hedonic functions such as music, the rest of the king, all kinds of tea beverage goods are available in all varieties. It is a classic version, bath center.

In November, COSMO Sheenah left london. A single trip on not only the British Museum, The London Eye, the Windsor Castle can not go to the attractions, more antique market, luxury department stores and custom waiting for us to find that London's fashion. If you have understood little of our London in Sheenah's micro-blog, the following are whole complimentary time.

In order to experience Beijing to Dubai Airbus A380 flight, we deliberately bypass transfer from Dubai to london. Just arrived in the evening, but the November London gets dark early, at five o'clock already, the remaining daylight came in very low in Ziyun, I tried to see the city. George's residence, stout and wet tall maple, well-dressed long-legged gentleman through the fallen leaves. It's is not imagine london! There seems to be a kind of was through feeling, especially the first night in the next 1400 years of museum.

The elegance of the waiter to help Sheenah fittingThe elegance of the waiter to help Sheenah fitting

For this trip, I most basic plan is everyday go shopping attractions and pitched, very clever! This can not only see the classic ancient London, and don't miss the most fashionable things. The first day like to travel London, my schedule is the British Museum + Notting Hill antique market. Notting Hill antiques market Portobello Market Notting Hill is the London I feel the best place, because of the movie "Notting Hill" (Hodson is so handsome), I'm sure can find blue door in Hodson's apartment here. Portobello Market in Notting Hill only the weekend before the open, is the world famous antiques market, has a history of such as London Millennium City, can a few decent antique should be easier with cheap price Amoy! Many came to visit the market one day, walking with great care.

Mart door handle, gifts, leather, bags, jewelry, and even the cup and silver products are more to do, and come this shopping people also mostly dress. Reportedly, many designers and fashion college students will be here in search of inspiration and taobao. The middle through the 5 junctions market part like the farmers market, there are a lot of people lined up in the cauldron of the Spanish Seafood Risotto, vendors in four as heavy truck tire size pans to run to run between, scene quite lively. And through the farmer have a designer shops I personally think that the most worth around.

The streets of LondonThe streets of London

Like a museum as a century-old Harrods

In London, a detour is also going to see the Harrods legends of high grade malls. Early know here, because it's the boss's Diana's dad, and when I was in the mall at the entrance gate 3, see Diana and Mohamed fly side by side of statue, the heart is really over a moved. The 160 years history of 7 stores with marble floors, brass package dado, tall palms, like the as the heyday of the Egyptian engraved here. In each layer can see Sphinx, I like most is a layer of cosmetics the hands holding the candlestick statue, expression is very vivid and lovely. But the underground food hall let my eyes bright, especially sell seafood and carnivorous kind food department, no taste aside, crystal lamp printing ceramic tiles, tall, reverie to wear the Vitoria period dress to come here to buy vegetables to taste.

Street shops merchants indulge in pleasures without stopStreet shops merchants indulge in pleasures without stop

Young and energetic, but also a hundred years of Selfridges

Unlike Harrods's top luxury, located next to the London College of fashion, 101 year old Selfridges look younger. The best thing is to find a lot of designer's exclusive brand, such as Victoria dVb, men's clothing, women's clothing department also have their own collection. While the product division is focused, such as all the shoes were divided between the two layers of the shoes Gallery, from TOPSHOP to YSL, the brand of the great span, there is the world's largest women's shoe department. I like shopping on feeling, breathe sweep into 10 pairs of shoes. Because there are often prince or middle east rich "to" London, so not just in Harrods, Selfridges personal custom shopping is also quite severe, filming my calm makeup was placed in the personal shopping center, sit down and listen to personal guide for me to introduce each big brand Selfridges production limited and this season the new. Independent of the Champagne Lounge in a shopping mall, can spend a fixed price of a few choose here to taste, and just recently I quite interested in wine, so naturally will not miss this opportunity. Near noon, stroll tired we can sit down to eat lunch at the mall two floor restaurant, this is a very delicate dining-room, the table is small, but all put flowers. Each table is full, if not ahead of a scheduled, it is hard to find a seat here.

Sheenah summarized the tax refund:

Buy enough how many drawback: in London, different each merchants refund amount starting point, generally buy enough 30 pounds can, such as the Portobello Market market is not a tax rebate. And each brand of drawback boutique begins at higher. For example, Versace requires consumption to 100 pounds will give tax rebates. Where is open to tax rebates: shopping checkout finished can to store the specified counter tax refund, usually stores all tax refund counter in customer service. Need to show your passport, passport and according to complete information, passport number, address, name, etc..

To the airport to find Customs: holding passports, tax rebates and a small shopping votes in the airport tax refund counter stamped, with us at the Heathrow Airport as an example, jewelry, watches, electrical appliances and other goods to the customs before can seal drawback, and type of clothing as long as the check in before they can be sealed, can be directly get the refund at the Customs after the cash. Tax refund cash and to play the card which more appropriate: tax rebates are usually cash back and return the card two ways, simple said that back cash benefit is then can get the money, but the amount to less than the return on the card. But only for MasterCard and Visa card refund service, often take several weeks to arrive. For example: if the consumption of 180 euros, your refund should be calculated from the total value added tax (VAT) minus fee, generally equivalent to the total amount of about 12% shopping. Please note, received back to deduct part of the fees payable. If not at the airport tax refund success: Britain within the Globe Blub global drawback FIBA, can go home with their contact.

Tanzania garden of Eden in the morning watch impala duel for love

Accompanied by bursts of rain, we spent in Theron naira (Seronera) last night. Theron 1 is the Serengeti National Park (Serengeti NationalPark) of the central area, is home to the parks department. Early in the morning, after rain the sky looks blue. We came to the hotel on the viewing platform, breathing the fresh air after the rain on the prairie, feeling more refreshed. Near distance, hiding in a night birds and animals also have deployed, to greet the new day.

Tanzania prairie morningTanzania prairie morning

Serengeti National Park is located in the west of the Great Rift Valley, is Tanzania's most famous National Park, 130 km west-northwest of Arusha, a part of the Panhandle west into the Vitoria Lake 8 kilometers, North extend to Kenya border.

The park because the animal communities have the large scale and be well-known, far and near. These animal groups between the seasonal water sources and pastures from migration. The animal has a wildebeest, zebra, antelope, 3000 lions, hyenas. In May and June, many animal from the Central Plains to the Western panhandle collective migration. The eastern part of the park are originally part of a Masai pastoral. The wild animal and domestic animals share the natural resources here.

Suddenly, at the foot of our trees appeared several hyenas (Hyena) figure. They are covered with brown spots, it is to make the spotted hyena (Spotted hyena). Although hyenas are known for eating animal remains and bones, spotted hyena is actually very good hunter, not just eat the leftovers of others. Especially when they are gathering in crowds and groups, can rely on the collective strength to hunt much bigger than they are herbivores, even with the fierce lion. Hyenas hunt at night, the two day of the night, we often hear that a faint smile on one's face out they contact each other when the call in at dead of night, listening to some shiver all over though not cold. Therefore, spotted hyena has a nickname - laughing hyena (Laughing hyena). At the moment, these hyena in front of us ran over, don't know is it right? And find out what the new prey?

The hyena comeThe hyena come

Everything is ready, we sat cross-country vehicles on the road. The what one sees and hears all day yesterday is very exciting, and so on the morning of the game drive we don't give too high expectations. Whether can see more of the wild animal, can walk through the countryside on the plains of Africa is a very pleasant thing. In fact, we the entire Safari is to you, not to try to see what can not be. So far, this attitude has given us a lot of help, every day there are many surprises.

After the baptism of heavy rain last night, the morning sun to the steppes of every tree and Bush wearing bright clothes. While we are immersed in this charming scenery, Jonathan stopped the car, not far from the front of the grass appears a group of impala (Impala). So far, we have seen many impala, but we still interesting to watch. These beautiful impala festooned with sun under the grasslands of Africa, the scene is so beautiful!

ImpalaImpala

Unlike previously seen by a male impala closely watching female impala group, this group of impala before is female and male mixed, there are a lot of long horns in the male impala. In fact, in the water rich, impala family has a strict leader system. It is a member of the family of female impala and their children. Not too many of these family members, but all follow their leader, a male adult impala command. All female impala family also only with the master of the house mate. Unfortunately, this home position is not stable, often by the external challenges, so the Impala family often change owner. And the challenger is from nearby Bachelor help. Impala family is the only women left male, male impala often at eight months old when he was driven out of the family, added to the single help. They swim bladder together, like to the Impala family, waiting for the opportunity to seize power. If it is a two, the master of the house might have the ability to put them away. But if don't go bachelor help, or when more concentrated grass water resources, the master of the house sometimes allowed these bachelors exist, provided they do not bad behavior on his family members.

Look at the male impala, the symmetry of the body, red shiny hair, big eyes, curved horns perky, everyone can say that is the prairie on the handsome, let a person see.
