Very cool and epic, but couldn't of he alternatively spent the 2 years working and saving for a plane ticket?

It's good that he at least gets to see something :tongue:

What a beast.

How is he going to get home? He isn't going to spend another 2 years riding home, surely? :tongue:

That's true, but I don't think cycling through Afganistan could ever be described as pleasant! :redface:

You know the average Chinese farmer earns like £1,000 a year purchasing power parity?

Don't start getting angry and defensive that somebody didn't like your "hilarious" joke.

Calm down mate, I was just teasing anyway :rolleyes:

Angry? Defensive? On TSR? Puh-lease. You obviously don't know me. It's TSR, I post whatever I want. I'm not a positive rep whore. Anyway your attempt at trolling me has failed. So fail. Don't even bother replying because I won't (And now you're going to try and use reverse psychology on me. People like you are wayyyy too predictable :smile:)

The fact I don't even know what a "pig plugin" is suggests it might be of limited relevance.

I saw this guy the other day! I wondered why no one had talked about him?

1) I can just imagine him riding his rickshaw through a warzone.
2) Bloody hell did he time that to perfection. 2 year journey and arrives just in time.
3) Seriously hope someone gives him some money, otherwise he's gonna have to cycle all the way back.
