A few words from the author

Whilst travelling from the Christian remains of Constantinople and the ancient sands of Persia, through the Himalayas, the Great Wall of China and the dense jungles of Borneo, I realized that the world must have its order. Therefore despite my beautiful adventures and experiences I always remembered which culture I myself belonged to, and I also appreciated the beauty and values of our beautiful - White Christian civilization.

News are short articles about expeditions to Asian countries. The author often describes in them the course of expeditions and personal observations, while still traveling. If you want to know where he is going and what he is doing, I recommend this section.

Indonesia – my adventure in Sumatra

By: Martin Malik

My unplanned trip to Sumatra turned out to be a very good experience in terms of human contact. I saw the realities of Indonesia. People were very natural, eager to talk to the unknown stranger, and the living conditions were dire. (Indonesia should be never seen through the prism of Bali !!)

Central Asia 2010

By: Martin Malik

I am going to visit the following countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. I will travel though the Pamir Highway and see ancient cities on the Silk Road. Compared to my previous expeditions, I expect that Central Asia may turn out to be a 'hard landing', but the adventure will be unforgettable.

Greetings from Tajikistan

By: Martin Malik

A trip to Tajikistan is quite a challenge. It is a journey through the mountains, vast distances and pastures of goats. One of the greatest challenges is the Pamir Highway; the most remote outpost of the former Soviet Union. Another adventure is the Wakhan Valley shared with Afghanistan, and the blue lakes along the route. Tajikistan is one of the best adventures of my life.

Greetings from Kazakhstan

By: Martin Malik

I've been travelling around Kazakhstan for a fewl weeks and I have my base in Almaty which is the capital of the south. Almaty is a city of beautiful women. There are a lot of Russian women and the Oriental looking Kazakh sweethearts, what makes the mountainous landscape more beautiful.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan

By: Martin Malik

For about three weeks me and my female companion have been travelling in Kyrgyzstan - the forgotten, unknown, mountainous country of Central Asia. Travelling here is hard but it is always beautiful and very rewarding.

Greetings from Uzbekistan

By: Martin Malik

I'm sending my best wishes from Uzbekistan. This country is sadly the last during my quest around Central Asia, but it does not mean that it is worse or less important. Uzbekistan is a true pearl of the Silk Road what now can be seen in cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva.

Southeast Asia 2011

By: Martin Malik

Exactly 7 years ago (in 2004) I left South-East Asia Sumatra just a few days before the great tsunami, which destroyed many countries. My adventures and experiences which enriched me so much did not let me forget about this unique part of the world,

Trip to Burma (Myanmar)

By: Martin Malik

I've been travelling around "the land of golden pagodas" for about a month and it is a fascinating adventure. Last time I was in Burma in 2004 but far too short, that`s why this time I wanted to see Burma at its best and spend enough time there.

Trip to Laos

By: Martin Malik

........ rice fields, caves, waterfalls, buffaloes, jungle and a wonderful adventure! Last time I was in Laos in 2004, which is seven years ago. At that time I was in this country too short, that`s why now I spent a whole month to get to know the beautiful, adventurous Laos.

Wonderful trip to Thailand

By: Martin Malik

Last time I was in Thailand in 2004 but mainly to train Thai-boxing. Since then several things have changed. Firstly the prices have gone up a little, although to me it was even more expensive because I took a woman and a child; "the two who bring only chaos to my expeditions and completely ruin my budget."

The Southeast Asia trip 2012

By: Martin Malik

This year's expedition I could easily call "the trip in the financial crisis" because after my return from the four-month expedition in 2011, I've not had a permanent job, and further search simply did not make any sense. However, I decided to not to give up, and in spite of bad fate still fulfill my plans.

Trip to the Sultanate of Brunei

By: Martin Malik

I am definitely not a fan of Islam, but certain Islamic architecture was beautiful and worth seeing, provided of course that all the monumental mosques remain in Brunei and would not be built in Europe. I recommend Brunei as an interesting stop-over at the end of the world where one can see long-nosed monkeys in the wild.

Trip to Cambodia

By: Martin Malik

I visited a lot of places because I had plenty of time, but wherever I went I was under impression, that Cambodia exists and breaths with life only for the temples of Angkor Wat. The symbol of Angkor is widely seen in every aspect of art and culture of Cambodia. The symbol of Angkor is widely seen in every aspect of art and culture of Cambodia, and on the national flag too.

Trip to Vietnam

By: Martin Malik

I entered Vietnam from Cambodia and I have to say that I had mixed feelings. The Cambodian border was decorated with Angkor Wat figures and the Vietnamese was monumental, with a red flag and a yellow star in the middle; " I took it as comrade Lenin meets chairman Mao".

Expedition to Malaysia

By: Martin Malik

I also went to Taman Negara National Park, where I took part in a two-day trip to the jungle. I slept in a cave, I was fighting blood thirsty leeches, I fell into a mud and spied on the beautiful nature. Another beautiful experience was Pulau Tioman island ...

Trip to Singapore

By: Martin Malik

Within six days I was practically everywhere where I should have been. I saw a cultural and historical districts of Little India and Kampong Glam, the business district, Chinatown, The Quays, Colonial District, Orchard Road, a truly wonderful zoo, the botanical gardens...

Expedition to West Asia 2013

By: Martin Malik

Ancient Persia is one of the oldest civilization of the world, and it has a lot of historical and cultural heritage, rich art and good people. Regarding terrorism and the "axis of evil" it simply makes me laugh when I hear about it, Globalists have military bases in the Middle East, the terrorists state of Israel, and thousands of nuclear bombs - and Iran has none. This proves the best who is the threat to whom. In the picture, the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei.

Trip to Azerbaijan

By: Martin Malik

In Xinaliq I hiked the mountains, I used people`s hospitality and good humour and I watched the traditional shepherd life next to the border with Russia (Dagestan). By the way, at the border the officials asked my three times if I've been to Armenia, without understanding that their war is theirs and not mine.

Trip to Georgia

By: Martin Malik

Traveling around Georgia is a mountain adventure in search of old fortified churches, sometimes also located by blue lakes. Besides, Georgians make good bread and cheeses, and sweet pomegranates are the pride of Georgia. Georgia is a very pleasant tourist destination. There are also cave cities, the pretty capital of Georgia, Tbilisi; and above all picturesque mountain landscapes with its beautiful churches.

Trip to Armenia

By: Martin Malik

Armenia is a country of beautiful landscapes where Christian culture with its ancient churches has raised friendly and hospitable people. I had grapes and nuts straight off a tree and I crossed most of Armenia by hitchhiking.
