From Germany to Taiwan by Bike
Batumi: The Las Vegas of the Caucasus Now it was time to leave Turkey. After spending three months it was time to say hello to a new country. The first city in Georgia after the border is Batumi. It's a coast town, so we epected a nice beach to camp and a relaxed atmosphere. However, … Continue reading From Casinos to Mountain Passes
The next day, when we resurrected from our deep sleep, it was snowing in Akkuş. We still had 60km to go to the Black Sea, and it didn't exactly seem like it was all going down hill. So we hitched another truck going around halfway. The views out of the truck's window were spectacular, although … Continue reading “We can’t stop here, this is Hazelnut Country!”
From Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia, it's still a long way to Georgia, our next step on our long way to Taiwan. Our 3 months visa was going to finnish in two weeks and we had to hurry up. Since the way along the Black Sea seems to be mostly flat, we decided once again to … Continue reading On the way to the Black Sea, or Hitchbiking Part II
I have been to Cappadocia before and until now it is still one of my most favourite places on earth i visited (Maybe together with Mt. Bromo, the still active Vulcanoe in Indonesia). The tourist crowds in Göreme (the town at the center of it all, where every cave and house was turned into a … Continue reading Cappadocia
It's been almost a month since i was writing here, and there was so much happening since then, that i don't really know where to start or how to split all this up in several posts. Since Ankara we hitchhiked and cycled already around 1500km. We went to Aksaray, where we originally just wanted to … Continue reading Salt Lakes, Whirling Derwishes and a Rap Song

It got cancelled, but they found another venue, and it worked out well. Here is some footage of the Workshops, a meet'n'play concert Malikah had with a Kemence (little string-instrument played with … Continue reading Art is dead in Ankara
In Eskişehir we spend a couple of days, having a concert on a really nice sound system, but with almost no audience. Nevertheless, it sparked us to do a nice jam there, the other day. Together with the duo Dark'o'Bairo from Eskişehir. Besides, Eskişehir, is a nice medium-sized city, with many bicycles and bicycle-roads, also … Continue reading Eskişehir and Beyond
Wohoo we did it! Our first time hitchbiking on this trip! I was always very skeptical if it would work well, and although Hsiang-Hsin had already some experience with it in Germany, and France, it's a different story with two bikes and two people. But it worked like a charm and we arrived in Eskişehir … Continue reading Hitchbiking
Our time in Istanbul is coming to and end, and while we are looking forward to the adventures lying in front of us, we also had a really great time here. Thanks to our friend Hakan who hosted us, and played music with us, brought us to many interesting places, thanks to the A.I.D-collective who … Continue reading Istanbul
Last Saturday we had our first concert in Istanbul. It was a big event, with many interesting concerts, organized by the A.I.D.-collective. Unfortunately the footage of the concerts themselves (ours and others) didn't turn out too well. But here are some pictures of the night. We had a concert as Stampf!, and Hsiang-Hsin's foot is … Continue reading A.I.D. Room, Istanbul
