Nicht jeder Reisende hat in Tokio sein Herz gelassen. Als seelenlose Großstadt verschrien, wo Arbeit mehr wiegt als Familie und Freizeit (Gesundheit gar), als Abbild einer Konsumgesellschaft abgestempelt, wo jeder Ablauf koordiniert ist und kein Raum für Individualität bleibt – die Stadt spaltet die Gemüter, vor allem bei Besuchern mit wenig Zeit, aber hohen Erwartungen.

Zurzeit gilt Thailand als eine der beliebtesten Reiseregionen überhaupt – nicht nur die atemberaubende Landschaft lockt die Touristen in die Gegend Südostasiens, sondern auch die wunderbare kulinarische Vielfalt und die Gastfreundschaft der Thais.

In a flash of uncharacteristic daring, he attempted to cycle the Northern Silk Road, from Shanghai to Europe. He failed. He failed dramatically. Against a backdrop of the world's most staggering, awe-inspiring landscapes, he was forced to smoke opium at gunpoint, attacked by a snake in a remote Kyrgyz river, robbed at gunpoint by the police, and eventually imprisoned in anonymous jail somewhere on the Kazakh steppe. How did it all go so wrong?

To fill this gap, I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my seven-year journey in Japan.
