It's
a bit hard to descibe a day spent in the
sky!
Leaving its mixture with African People,
the Car@van narrows around the Team. We
slowly arrive to the Jo'burg Airport,
and enter the aseptised international
zone. And, in the 'no man's land', we
breathe with melancholy the smell of our
clothes, soaked with Africa.
As decided by the Virtual People, the
trip towards East moves the clock
forward; in Indonesia, there will be 7
hours of jet-lag... and a plane ticket
that costs more than 700 US$ per person.
On the Cathay Pacific Jumbo to Hong-Kong
and then Den Pasar, we prepare ourselves
to a 14 026 km marathon and 17 hours
flight. Marko and Aleko burn the
joystick of the video games'console
fixed on their chair, Maya and Theo
discuss about Mankind's future, as
Valeria laughs while watching a Mandarin
movie with Japanese subtitles.
The short stop in the ultra-modern Hong
Kong airport allows us to read
international newspapers, admire the
latest high tech products, and drink a 5
US$ coffee!
The flight to Denpasar is just like
another one, but in the customs, our
Nomad Kit is inpected. "Everything
is fine!": the customs officers
welcome us in Asia... here we are!

On the
International Herald Tribune's
today edition, we read a
dramatical article: 'Blue Men' of
the Sahara Put Down Roots'.
Because of environmental and
political changes, Tuaregs are
giving up their camels caravans
for gardening. Iliass Zakaria,
Tuareg, explains that if he made a
lot of money, he lost immeasurable
things: "It was better to go
out in the caravans and bring back
things to the family... I know the
Caravan so well. I think about it
often even now. I even dream about
it.'

Aleko: Since my first steps on
the Yellow Continent, I felt it
would be great
|

During
the long flight hours, we
immortalize in our thoughts the
most intense experiences lived on
the Black Continent:
The show in the Shelter House...
the throwing of a message in a
bottle from Cape of Good Hope...
the encounter with the elephant
family... Christmas with street
kids in a township... the race to
touch a zebra's tail... Lesotho...
New Year's Eve in the lost village
of Taung and the tribe's chief's
speech... buying a sheep... the
Nomad Project... the graffiti in
Jo'Burg...-all these events that
belong to Nomad Community.

The
beginning of our exploration in
Asia, waiting for your vote.
Because of the jet-lag (+8h GMT),
we will be on chat at 1:00 pm GMT.
'Selemat jalan!'
