“Spet igrivo spogleduje se življenje zdaj z menoj, misel med ljudi potuje, da nasuje v njih spokoj. Zmorem sama, saj predana k svojim ciljem hrepenim, v dan verujem, občudujem, srečna, ker lahko živim.” ” - Eva Moskon, I love myself ( video .)

Although I am somewhere in the middle of County Yunana ,South- West China and after 12.000 km in the land of so many different variety I could write about this ant that, but I won’t.

County Guizhou was a beautiful place, but a very difficult one to cycle through though.

All those hills ups and down, and the temperature had an affect on my body too. With no breeze in my back to help me cycle. The water supply my body needed went up from 6 to 8 litres. But in the meanwhile I forgot a small or shall I say a big part for what my body was craving for - salt and sugar. A few bad nights….my body was exhausted. It had enough. I needed a few days to get to the bottom of my problems, my body was exhausted. And my body had enough…I couldn’t do anything anymore. In the morning, first thing my body did is, it started to shiver.

I barley arrived to a small village. All I wanted is only one thing A ROOM, water and a cold night for a good night sleep.

I stayed with a family. I was in pretty bad shape, so I stayed for two nights.
And those were two of my favourite nights….we enjoyed over selves immensly. We had a Slovenian evening, I even got a chance to driver a motor bike (only 125 CC ;-), and if anybody knows me…they know this is the other thing I love so much!!!! eee, yupeee…I HAD FUN. Freedom and the breeze in my hair, MY WORLD……There were some strange looks coming from everywhere, who (the heck) is this stranger that is driving one of ours (Chinese) around??!! ;-)

I finally got around to relax, and heal my body.

Following days I cycled up to 2000 meters, and the temperature dropped , so it was easier to sleep at night.
There were moments when it rained cats and dogs; before I could manage to put on my waterproof clothes I was already soaked to my bones. So I just had enough, and went straight to somebody’s home, asking/ hoping for a roof over my head! Just that. At the end I was touched by the kindness of the people, small things they offered, kindness that never sees the end.

People gave me a shelter, they had no ideas who I am or where I am coming from. Most probably I will Never see them again, or say THANK you again. And in the morning when I asked them, how much I owe them. It was The Question they did not understand.

This is the answer to my travelling, to see, find and feel and share the kindness.

On the other hand, far far away from where I am, where everybody is occupied with money, buying a new better car, expenses, expeses, where there is no time for anther human being.

Charity and Slovenian’s…It’s been a let down from beginning. I know I haven’t tried everything, but I will try again and again. My idea at the beginning will I guess not see the day, to get 1 EURO per a cycled km. It’s too late - I cycled over 23.000 km by now. I am trying to reach/ get close/ to raise 10.000 euro.

Help me show there is still some human kindness in us- Slovenians, in a Slovena! One day without a cup of coffee/ beer in a pub, transfer a EURO to RK SMARJE (Soon available through sending a SMS- if anybody know how to create the following site, please do contact me- www.justgiving.com all the help is more then welcome)

I am STILL fighting for “the MOMO fund” I will “attack” anybody who wants or doesn’t want to listen, I will try to explain, I will try to get your attention.
It’s so not easy, but with all my patience, stubbornes or me being smart my hope will die last. Help me win. Let’s win together.

Fight for ideas you believe in!

Try to help human beings around you and share a smile among.
