Japanese cyclist hasn't returned home since setting out 8 years ago
A man has cycled over 45,000 kmu00a0 through 37 countries after setting out from his home in Japan eight years ago with the equivalent of just Rs 80.
Keiichi Iwasaki (36) left on his Raleigh Shopper bicycle in 2001 to go on a tour of Japan.
But he enjoyed himself so much he caught a ferry to South Korea and since then has cycled through 37 countries without returning home.
He has been robbed by pirates and arrested in India, almost died when he was attacked by a rabid dog in Tibet and nearly married in Nepal.
