News September/October 2018              (Miri/Sarawak/Malaysia, 11/4/2018)

check now and then also our information site → "what's happening?"

Website statistics:   'Webalizer' has been shut down in February 2013. 'Logaholic' became too unreliable in Sep. 2016.
                                  Thus 'Google-Analytics' remains unfortunately the only somewhat reliable counter for us.
                        'Google-Analytics' showed 8'896 pageviews during October 2018. The visitors came from 236 countries!
                        ('Google-Analytics': September = 12'682 pageviews / August = 12'580 pageviews / July = 9'982 pageviews)
                         Record day since 12/17/1998 = the birthday of our website: on 11/5/2007 = 13'407 visitors and 787'456 hits ('Webalizer')
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
At the end of September 2018 we got our LandCruiser back after its "3rd rejuvenation 2017/18": Engine completely overhauled and other minor
work such as starter, alternator, wiper, window lifter, rear axle shaft, exhaust done and of course big service made. We have invested a total of
US$2'936 = US$1'707 in spare parts + some of our own "warehouse", as well as US$1'230 in work.

Now came the question of where to go next: As already mentioned in the last "News - August 2018", a possibility for a second trip to the Pacific
arose. The first destination would have been the Solomon Islands. At the beginning it seemed that the authorities would get us the necessary
permits, but around mid-October there was absolute radio silence, both by email and by telephone. Because there is never a "no" in these parts of
the world, we simply didn't hear anymore from them. After Myanmar (before its opening) it is now the second country that made it impossible
for us to enter by car. Since we definitely have to leave Malaysia on November 12th, 2018, because of the visa restrictions (no more visa runs to
Brunei), we decided to ship to South America - Emil " half-heartedly", because of the second visit, Liliana rather curious about the changes since
1987/88.

We started "collecting" offers: Freight tariffs of shipping lines and port fees of shipping agents. First we selected Montevideo in Uruguay as a
destination, since normally overlander "newcomers" from Europe (with Grimaldi) and "old-timers" from South Africa arrive there. But it turned
out that the port fees there are "mafia-like" - up to US1'880 per car. Being now on the other side of the world it doesn't really matter to us from
which side we aim for South America. Therefore, we also inquired in Chile. Surprise: The freight, be it across the Pacific or across the Indian
Ocean/Atlantic, is about the same. But the port fees are only about half.

Conclusion: On November 3rd, 2018, we put our LandCruiser in Bintulu, 125 miles [200km] south of Miri, into its 31st container. Three days
later it is scheduled to leave Sarawak on Borneo for Taiwan. In Kaohsiung it will be transferred to another ship with destination San Antonio in
Chile and should arrive there on Christmas Day, December 24th, 2018.
 
                                                                                  Malaysia/Sarawak/Bintulu: Ready for Chile in its 31st container
 
Now to us: After the stuffing of our LandCruiser we returned to Miri by bus and will fly on Monday, November 5th, 2018, with AirAsia first to
Kuala Lumpur – it will be our 21st visit to this giant city. First it's our "family doctor's turn" – a blood test is due again. And then during the more
than 50-days transit time of our LandCruiser, we will embark on a flight half way around the world – where to exactly and whether via west or
east, will soon be mentioned on "what's happening?"
