24 July 2009 Khabarovsk, Eastern Russia













While I was eating breakfast, a well dressed lady showed up who would represent my case to Immigration. She talked to the hotel administrator on how the letter had to be written. Then she and I sat down with my blog, Russian Road Atlas and receipts, and wrote down all the dates. They typed up two letters and gave them to Olga the well dressed lady, and off she went to Immigration to present my case. Within a couple of hours I got a copy of the letter for my records in case I get asked about it again like when I'm leaving Russia. I can show it to Immigration if a problem arises. I was warned not to bring this up when leaving the country. Say nothing. I was told if Immigration wanted to pursue this issue I could be fined $15,000. Anyway, I tipped all the waiters and hotel staff generously so as not to leave any enemies behind. Everybody was so helpful...............you just can't believe it. I can’t believe it and I’m the one who’s living it. I also got my clothes and my motorcycle washed. I was so glad to have that mud spray washed off. I asked the guy spray washing if I could do some spray washing. He said ok and I sprayed into my radiator to flush out any dust or mud built up from the last couple of days. I also washed under the fenders and the speedometer and tachometer area. It’s not perfect but it’s not covered in mud and I’m happy with it. The rest of the day I pretty much worked on getting my motorcycle shipped out of Russia and into Korea. This is quite time consuming. I worked on this most of the day and into the night.
