English Summary: Had another run in with border guards today (the last time was when leaving Kyrgyzstan). The Tajikistan customs official wanted US$10 for registry entry. I told him that I had not been charged for such a thing in the last five border crossings so why now? Upon hearing this he changed his story, and pointed to official charges for exporting vehicles. He stabbed a fat finger at the motorcycle entry. I almost laughed at him. I gently explained that it was a bicycle, and that he should have realised that as he watched me arrive. So once again no money for the border guard. By the way, my visa for Uzbekistan starts tomorrow (10th of Nov). The Uzbekistan immigration officials were too caught up in the novelty of my bicycle to notice however, so I am now in Uzbekistan a day earlier than my visa officially allows. Staying at Nazar’s place. Random guy I met along the road.

You are beginning to look like a wild and woolly hill man! Any comments on the beard from the locals? I notice that they seem to be all clean shaven. Did you lose your shaveing gear?

Hey Rob, EmJay's comment when she saw your picture, was that you look like a terrorist! I think wild man from borneo fits better. I was wondering about the locals reaction to your facial hair too.

[...] While Elizabeth reports on the hospitality of Tajik people, the other guy who is traveling from Japan to London by recumbent bicycle, reports that when he wanted to cross the Tajik-Uzbek border, the Tajik customs official wanted to extort money from him. The customs official wanted $10 dollars for the registry entry. But the adventurer knew his rights and did not give any money to the customs official by telling him that he ‘had not been charged for such a thing in the last five border crossings.’ [...]
