Friday 28 March 08, Malaysia

The first Asia-Tour-Day started with a detour. Taking the wrong lane in Singapore can end in a “2-hour-stop-and-go-getting-a-one-way-streets-headache”. Anyway we somehow arrived in Malacca, Malaysia.
After 200 km on the highway surrounded by monoculture palm oil plantations, I’m not surprised to find out, that Malaysia is the biggest palm oil producer in the world. A professor from the UTM University tells me, that 30% of the ancient Malaysian rainforest are protected. We have already seen massive fire clearing. This abuse of the nature shows; that the use of bio fuels are very rarely a sustainable solution for our future mobility.

After nearly four month of enjoying the modern comforts of bathrooms, I come back to the reality of holes in the ground and a water pipe substitution for toilet paper. I love to sit on the toilet, reading a magazine or just day-dreaming. This will be probably luxury in the next months.
Missing several things after nine month of travelling; has shown me what is important to me and my life. So I really enjoy this feeling of missing, I realize what my real requirements for life are.

WOW after travelling three month through Australia and New Zealand with a nearly ignorant attitude towards the Solartaxi by its inhabitants, we are back in the wonderland of the Solartaxi: After a high speed police escorting with blue lights flashing and siren; 300 pupils, a group of traditional drummers and the regional politicians are welcoming us. I have goose bumps. It is great motivation for us.
