A thousand of Miles, from Hong Kong to Almaty, Kazakhstan. 4 hours air, 24 hours bus~ But, I realized that my freedom of nomad came closer by distance.
Recorded by my GPS 60CSX
My stuffs 70 kgs
Passing Xinjing within 24 hours. Carried 60 kg climbing gear and essential survival kits from Hong Kong to Xinjing, I only got 24 hours to stopover Xinjing to go Kazakhstan. Task : 1. Meet my brother from Taiwan. 2. buy more food and necessity (coz, Almaty is super expensive) 3. explore the culture of Uigur and Islam 4. buy the bus-ticket to Kazakhstan 5. exchange the money 6. do the research about Kazakhstan
The reason Wilson went to Kazakhstan, Central Asia 1. Simple, the campus was near the Tian Shan Region about 2 hours by car. I would like training up my mountaineering skills. 2. Curiosity, Wilson does not have any idea about Kazakhstan and Central Asia. In order to enrich my eyes and brain, just go to blank of the map. 3. Revolution, once life revolution is necessary to promote the life quality. Improvement and growth was my target for exchange. From kid to boy. Not adult. 4. Russian, The culture of Russia attracted Wilson very much. To be part of Culture, I spend all my effort to be a Local. 5. Nomad, I delighted I had breathed the freedom of air. I swear I saw it, I tasted it, I felt it and I enjoyed it. 6. Studying, Kazakhstan has a billion of oil in Caspian Sea Region. Wilson wants to be smart and clever in the global vision rather than considering business and salary.
Yes, my campus had shooting-fight before ~

Taking the subjects out of my major As you know, I am majoring in Physical Education and Recreation Management in Hong Kong. This is a great challenge for me to take the subjects about oil and gas. Although it is very hard for me to study those aspects, I am pleasure to explore the new kingdom of the knowledge . I spent my effort every night to read a thousand of pages journals. Why that I am able to get the great result in final . Please don’t blame me that I went to play during the
My dorm help me to survival about four months in Kazakhstan .
One Kazakh girl asked Wilson “Wow, I love your food very much. The Hong Kong boy is worth getting marry!!� Ha, Sorry, I made a lot of girls to have misconception about Hong Kong boy/ girls. Please learn how to cook before you talk with your Kazakh friends.
My buddy and roommate, my bedmate is Kazakhs. He called me “brother”! I called him “brother, too” ! I learnt a lot of Kazakh Culture from Him! Next room, the roommate came from Chechen >< ……muscular and powerful !

Dancing under Kazakhs music, welcoming by the locals, carrying the far distance regards to Couples. I cannot figure out what real and dream is. But, one thing I am sure. My slime kept on during the trip.
