My name is Martin and this is my story. I travel because it is fun and a great way to continue self-education which enriches the worldview and opens my eyes to unnoticeable things, both in the distant countries and the closest ones. Let's get to know other cultures but let's also respect and defend our own.

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.

Population explosion

By: Martin Malik
Governments try to reduce the Third World population but taking into account political correctness and that depopulation edges over genocide it is a very delicate matter which has bad impact on voters. Genetically modified vegetables and meat produced by Monsanto and Codex include toxic substances causing cancer and sexual incapacity.

The Aral Sea Ecological Disaster

By: Martin Malik
The Soviets were so greedy that when the plan was created environmentalists were threatened by the Soviet Communist Party and forced to inform that the Aral Sea was only the nature's mistake and it was not needed. In the 60's the Soviet regime decided that the rivers of Syr Darya and Abu Darya will be diverted to water cotton plantations ("the white gold").

The real map of China

By: Martin Malik
Every time I look at a map of the People`s Republic of China I wonder how much of that land would remain in China if we left only what is truly Chinese. In the same way after the collapse of the Soviet Union we could see how many countries the Soviets occupied and how many they lost. Maybe one day the People’s Republic of China will also collapse and then it would become a relatively small country, more or less of the size of France.

The Polish-Pakistani Air Force

By: Martin Malik
As soon as independent Pakistan was created in 1947, the new government in Karachi asked the British RAF to recommend them the most experienced and trusted pilots who would be able to build the air force of Pakistan. After the Second World War the British RAF and other European air forces were destroyed, which is why the British recommended Poles to Pakistan. In 1947 a young officer Władysław Turowicz and Polish pilots under his command landed in Karachi to set up the Pakistan Air Force.

Expedition to Tajikistan 2010

By: Martin Malik
The Pamir Highway is 728 km long and it's the second highest route in the world, after the Karakoram Hwy. This route, also known as M41 was built by Soviet military engineers in 1931-1934 to facilitate the transport of troops and weapons into the very remote outpost of the Russian Empire. The Pamir Highway is a serious challenge.

General travel advice

By: Martin Malik
There are some things that seem obvious but every time I travel I notice that many of them still need reminding. Often during preparations for trips we forget about certain things or we simply ignore them. I'm sure that my advice would help.

Return to the Labuan island

By: Martin Malik
Despite its location, Labuan is neither part of Sabah nor Sarawak. Labuan is a federal territory administered directly by the government in Kuala Lumpur, but located off the coast of Borneo, near the state of Sarawak and Brunei. Labuan Island, which is a duty-free zone, has very favorable economic conditions and transport routes. My favourite place was the Bird Park with its crowned cranes.
