So we depart tomorrow, and it seems as though the trip still hasn't quite materialized (at least not in my mind)!
In total we have seven (maybe eight) members: Our fearless leader, Jin Fei Bao, his brother Fei Biao, the team coordinator Xiao Feng, two reporters, an Austrian, David Hiebaum and myself. The eighth member of our team might be a representative from one of our sponsors, Fudian Bank, and another member, Fei Xuan, a Kunming geologist, might join up with us along the way.
Some of the members had a day of training, unfortunately I couldn't make it because I was being interviewed by www.gokunming.com. I'm not worried though, because our fearless leader hasn't even touched his bike yet! Haha! Fei Bao has spent the last week, constantly in meetings, either advising clients or searching for sponsors. I have seen everybody from architects, real estate companies, interior design companies and even an opera singer come and seek advise from the world explorer.
So tomorrow morning we will meet at our designated location to receive the letters of friendship from the Mayor of Kunming, Mr. Zhang Zulin. Afterwords we set off and a number of supporters will ride with us for a bit on the first day, including the Mayor himself!
Wish us luck!
