around the world

Post by AUTsider »

Hallo everyone!

A friend of mine and i are going to start at the beginning of this december a journie around the world =) *super excited*

We have all our Footbagstuff in the bagpack and we would love to see some other players if thats possible. Our stations are South Africa, India, Burma, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia and Brazil. (at least is that the rout we have planed)

We wount be that long in Japan, because it's a bit expensive. (maybe 2-3 weeks) But for the rest of the places, there is no time limit =)
I try to post our exact location as often as possible, but you know its not allways that easy.

Hope to see some of you soon!

Where did you find this endless supply of money to take this trip, where there are no time limits as to how long you stay? I live in Philadelphia, its not as cool as Brazil, Burma, or any of the other places but there is some footbag here

Hey Tom

Aktually we have no endless support of money. We had to save up some money over years and at the tour we have to work to not get bankrupt. So Money is a big problem at our journie.
Time works out far better, because i am student and my friend just quit his job, so the whole journie is possible.

Nice greetz to all shredders out there from jinghong (south china - yunnan province)!

We spend the dai water spring festivel - "dai new year" - here and it was really great! the motto of the festivel is --> the wetter you get --> the more luck you will have in the upcoming year [and they really like to run after foreighners with their waterguns =) --> so i should go to the casino soon :lol: ]

unluckily we got robbed and so we have only an emergency passport by now, what is a big minus for us, because we can only stay at the worlds to the 14 auf august ... what REALLY SUCKS!!!!
[we have to fly to brazil at that date, because otherwise we woudln't be allowed to enter the country. fucking passport restrictions =( ]

but anyways i just wanted to write something so you see we are still alive 8)

shred on!!!

i have been to jinghong last year! go to the xiding weekly market, about two hours away... its easiest if you have a guide and a driver... i did it and it was really worth it... ask at the one backpacker cafe on the "main" street... i forgot the name. anyways... enjoy your trip!

ah, also, if you have the time, definitely trek the tiger leaping gorge in northern yunnan. just amazing!

still in dali. the city is getting us totally. some days ago we had a shred in an awsome designed park in the old town. at the end of the session an old chinese couple (at least >55) came to us and joined the circle. before we realized whats going on, we where hacking with these two oldies who where pritty awesome. the guy did good xbdy kicks and also showed some flyers to the round. we where very impressed, because we wouldn't expect such agility from them.

tomorrow we will leave to the island hainan.

hey footbag fellows!

sunny greatz from the island of hainan. its really great here. so many russian people come for hollidays and they make so cool party (and have such beatifull women!!!!!!!!!!!). we also met some german guys who really rock tha house. i havent seen anything of this island to know aside from the beach, bars, discos and different hotel pools .its so fun here - you can go in any 5 star hotel and chill at the pool at any time and nobody is saying anything ... actually they bring you drinks and are ass friendly ... even though they dont like naked swimming too much at 3am =)

from of the deepest ghettos of shenzhen =)

Post by AUTsider »

okay we are here now in shenzhen and have some time left on our internet hour, so i take my time and keep you guys up to date ... if you want to or not =)
we tryed to contact michael wiwchar who lives here, but he didn't respawn till now. in 3 days we will leave from hongkong to beijing and meet a german guy who we met on hainan island.
afterwards we go to TOKYO !!!! WUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
[hopefully we will meet some shredders over there ... but still have no clue how to find them ;( ]
after that we come to melbourne - looking forward to the melbourne footbagcommunity, because they where very friendly to know and they should be in preperations for the worlds.
yeah then a short pitstop in L.A. for a few days just to meet some friends from my oncle and enjoy the city.
and then finally ..... WE GO TO THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOORLDS =)
unfortunately we can only stay for 4 days .... but 4 days are more then we expected after the lost of our passports, so its awesome !
on the 14. Aug we will leave to brazil and stay there till all the money is gone =) [hopefully more then a few weeks]

... still got 10 minutes .... so hmmmmm .... we didn't shred too much lately, but after we got away from the party island hainan we shredded again 2 times and it was depressing .... so many things which used to work out just fine (infinitys / osis / pixie legover / ... ) are nearly gone. so we decided to train a bit more .... if we find the time ;(

yeah that was it ... see ya all at the worlds and hopefully some japanese and australian shredders before!
