Sunday 15 of january 2017 - no bicycle :cheesy:

 

We went to Kasersart University  Sakon Nakhon where our second daughter is for four years ; it's on rd 22 to Nakon Phanom .

About 8 kilometers from that University the little town of Thare ;

it's a particular town in Thailand, nearly all people are catholics

 

A long time ago, not so long,:smile: maybe 6 or 7 years ago, there was a catholic radio station inside that tower with St Michael archangel on the top

The brakes had nearly 16,000 km ( one year ! ) and the chain + the group had 13,000 km , they were new in march day 19 , 2016 . , they were used .

done in less than one hour , 4,000 baht
