Following Dshinggis Traces -
A motorcycle journey through the former Mongolian Empire,
from the Krim to China
At the age of 30 Dshinggis Khan unified Mongolia
and as it's leader he started to creat the largest ever existing
empire.
The troops of the Mongols conquered a large part
of Asia and the so called Golden Horde reached the occupied the
East of Europe.
Travelling with my bike I look for traces of history
and experience the presence of the people today: in the historical
interestin Ukrain, the scenically meagre but rich with petroleum,
the booming capital of China, Beijing, and of cause the heart or
the empire, Mongolia. This nomad country lies like an island between
the "white" Russia and the "yellow" China.
I had to revise some of my expectations, learned
a lot - and am curiouse what kind of impressions you get.
