I listen to books; some from ebook libraries and others from audiobook libraries.
I have completed a few books already since the start of my journey. I highly recommend The Tiger of Jelutong, Steven Fry’s Mythos, and A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. However, on busy stretches of the highway, I turn off my earphones to listen for lorries coming behind me.
I also listen to music, mostly music from the 80s and oldies.
Along the way, I look out for interesting things. These are recorded on the camera on my head. They will be turned into videos for my YouTube channel GoPepperGo.
I smile and wave at everyone who looks in my direction. Children will usually wave back. Old folks are least interested at the unusual sight of a person cycling with a red jersey and large bags.
Cycling alone gives me time to be lost in my thoughts. I think of my children and my friends. I think of philosophical questions and how to explain them. I make comparisons between my country and the country I am cycling through. The books I listen to also give me lots of things to reflect on.
I think about how short life is. We rush through it when we are young. As I approached fifty, time seems to rush away from me.
That is how I occupy my time on this 5000 km journey.
