Here is an example: http://iwannagothere.com/users/limalimon/routes/sweden
With no preparation and less luggage one flies to the Indian Subcontinent and does one’s damndest to force 150cc of Indian engineering over thousands of miles of questionable terrain in around two weeks.
The Spring Rickshaw runs is on from 11th Apr – 25th Apr. Teams will drive for 3058 miles.
It starts from the green hills of Shillong, in the forgotten far eastern corner of India and ending on the beaches of Goa.

What do you do on a really warm and sunny day in Seoul?
Summer in Korea is very hot and humid. Instead of walking down the street, I prefer going to cafes and eat bingsoo in the terrace. (Bingsoo a cup full of ice flakes with fruit, icecream and red bean paste.) Strawberry bingsoo, which is made of ice flakes with strawberry, vanilla icecream and sweet milk syrup, is one of the reason I like summer. At night, it’s very refreshing to go to Han river park, which is alongside the main river.
The lights from bridges and small lights from the city reflected on the wide river are like jewels.
And on a raining day?
To avoid rain, I’d go to COEX mall at Samsung Dong, the underground shopping mall. They have a multiplex cinema with 16 theaters, a big book store, nice cafes and tiny shops. But if I would like to enjoy watching the raindrops, I’d go to Pyungchang-Dong. They have nice art galleries with cafes as Gana Art Center or KIMI Art Gallery.
Both of them have beautiful views through full-sized windows as they are located high up on hills.
I also used to go to eat bindaetuk (Korean tortilla with veggies and seafood) and drink dongdongju (sweet rice liquor) with my friends on a rainy day.
I don’t know why, but the old korean people say bindaetuk and dondongju are best to have on rainy summer days.
What is the best way to get around in the town?
Definately by subway. There are more than 10 lines in Seoul metro, and they are very well connected all around the city. Transferring 2 times during 1.5 hour trip on the way to work every morning, is not something to get surprised for people who live in Seoul.
Taxis are also very cheap (and VERY fast!! – Taxi drivers care more about your time than safety.)
Favourite place?
I’m a more old fashioned girl – I like going to old places than the metropolitan area of Seoul. You can see the old Seoul in Samchung-Dong, Gawhe-Dong, Insa-Dong, Hyoja-Dong, and Buam-Dong. I love small and old traditional houses (hanok in Korean), narrow streets, and small shops. I also like the very neighbory smell coming out from home at dinner time in the narrow streets.
I feel very calm and as I am at home.
What shouldn’t be missed on someone’s first visit to Seoul?
Food. Definately the food!! I’d receommend my friends to try street food like tukboki (spicy rice cakes! ñam ñam) with odeng (fish cake). Bulgogi (sweet barbecued beef) and soju (Korean sake) is not to miss.
If you have Korean friends, please do ask them to bring you to norae-bang (karaoke) and chimjil-bang.
Chimjil-bang is a public hot sauna. Don’t worry, you will not have to be naked, they will provide you with clothes :)
Best club in Seoul?
The best clubs in Seoul are mainly in two areas: Hongdae and Abgujeong. Hongdae is an area near to Hong-ik University, which is famous for art and urban culture. They are more into music and dancing: house, hip hop, techno, etc. M2, NB, Myeon-wol-gwan are one of the best. Abgujeoung is the posh shopping area in Seoul: you sould better dress up a bit more when you go to clubs in Abgujeong. Circle (Paris Hilton was also there!) and Club i are the best in this area.
What’s the best plan for a Sunday morning in Seoul?
Waking up late, going to Itaewon for a brunch with friends, taking a walk in the old town, having a cup of coffee, and then going for movies. Oh, I miss the life I had in Seoul, as I am writing down all the good things I had there. :)
