Hey All, I'm going to be in Europe/Asia for a bit in July/August (coming from New Zealand). Can I get a list of places I should be going to along the way? Countries I'm going through are as follows..

London
France
Belgium
Berlin
Prague, Cz
Vienna, Austria
Budapest, Hungary
Romania
Bulgaria
Istanbul, Turkey
Tehran, Iran
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
Samarkand, Uzbekistan
Kazakhstan
Russia
Mongolia

Totalling 6 weeks, so not a lot of time along the way. But I wanna make the most of the time I have and check where I really should!

I am super jealous, I spent best part of 10 years in the former CCCP, but never got to any of the 'Stans , I will correct that one day….

But anyway.

Yeah, super happy.
We're driving the whole way too (Mongol Rally…). Would like to do it again next year on a bike. See how I go this time.

Can't wait to go through the Stans, have talked to a lot of people and have a lot to see down there. Probably not a lot of Iron Heart though.

Mrs H: “are you all packed?”
Me: “yup, finished putting stickers on”
Mrs H: “Stickers?”

A mixture. Go and see some of the workshops with Alex in Kojima (and get the best Udon ever), a meeting with Haraki in Hachioji, a heritage workwear show in Beijing (Alex, AdamC, Josh and Sarina), and Thanksgiving with @ROman and Ralph in North Carolina....

@Mister_Brue Is this your first time to India? How long will you be there and where will you be going?

[Denman John]

@Mister_Brue You’ll have an awesome time ~ India definitely has its own vibe. I was down that way a couple of years ago with my wife. Throwing Palolem Beach (Goa) and Hampi on your radar as they were places that we enjoyed in that area. I’ll be off to Nepal in 3 weeks and starting to get excited.

Kojima (and get the best Udon ever),

Where is this udon? We're passing through just over a week from now.

I can’t remember exactly where

[pechelman]

Thanks, no worries. Maybe hiroyoshi?

After going to that small sushi joint in tsukiji you listed a while back, I'd definitely trust an udon rec as well.

[Alex]

@pechelman no, I saw that on the map when I was looking for you to, and whilst it looks familiar, it’s not the one we’re referring to. That place looks great though, I would check it out

Looking forward to hearing about Kojima, Hachioji and Beijing, and really looking forward to Thanksgiving......
