Out of Asia – The Day we Lived Twice
The last days in Asia. The opportunity to visit urban Korea, a missed chance to meet Baby Face and the long flight to the US.
Unusual – Korea
From Russia’s Far East to South Korea. Back to real Asia. Nevertheless, a travel thru a country rather unusual to us.
Just 3950km to the East, Russia

A visit to the easternmost town of the Silk Road. Then northwards to China’s coal belt. Some 3000km in just a…
