1.2.2005 FRANKFURT AM MAIN (D)
- airport

I hate the beginnings of all tours I ever did... It goes in circles, speaking to me: "No problem, there's plenty of time, everything green. No hurry..." But reality is shrunken suddenly, D day comes, I buy something needed, vaccinations, very last invoices, three time a day to post office, paying bills month before... In short, couple of fun. Day of departure is here and me pack all Obscene and INGROWING stuff, taking a shower at one o'clock morning, kissing my kids and my almost-wife (I'll see you after one month, hehehe...), and very tired I reach Prague to meet my brothers in grindcore arms - INGROWING. Lots of hugs and then we have to make all our baggage transport-safe. Zbyňa is frightened, because he could not find the snare, sticks and sheet... We are trying to find, calling to Eddie. Snare decided to stay in cold rehearsal room in Budweis and refused to visit tropical	Our minicrew at the Prague airport
Shit, where is my snare?	heat of Asia... Ufff... One more trouble to solve. As usually Zbyňa is a target of our impertinencies, but that is all we can do.Passiíng through metal detector and brand new hairstylist is here. Mr. Vlakin has scissors and he dares to ask if it is a problem to have thing like that... No. It doesn't matter, Harry knows very well - during Nice to Eat You tour 2003 he counted loss of three scissors on airports so he could kiss goodbye to carreer of hairstylist. We are boarding, plane is full of asean people traveling such as we do - Frankfurt am Main and then perhaps to Hanoi. Vietnamese dudes are running on the board there and then back again, pulling huge luggage, sitting on seats at will... My turn comes too... Some guy asked me to change seat with him, I refused of course, because I was worried to be suddenly outside the plane. Flight is delayed and these people still are not sitting on their seats. Finally we are knocked out by steward's voice in board speakers: "We are sorry, flight is delayed because of passengers speaking not
English or other understandable language." We are almost crying in laughter. Flight to Frankfurt, it is a short episode, few minutes and now we are standing here, in this monstrous airport and nothing to do. 8 hours to wait for next flighht to take us to Kuwait. We are tired and fading out. But more 5 and half of hour to Kuwait, then another flight to Bangkok (7 hours). I reckon we will be there at eleven tomorrow morning.	Beautiful Zbyna's dreams of new snare.

2.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)

Kuwait Airways shocked us totally!!! In very good way, I got vegan food and what we needed we got immediately - drinks, food, everything... One thing was strange... Everybody knows that smoking in plane is forbidden couple of years, but possibility of alcohol served during the flight is definitely recall of past. That fact absolutely destroyed the vision of INGROWING trinity of getting loaded immediately after taking off and then sleeping for while... My mouth had to be distorted with very, very wide smile. So we all enjoyed the taste of mango juice! Five and half of hour we nodded and now underneath is Kuwait City seen. We should be here just for while only but enough to take some pictures and to see how-it-all-goes. Kuwait is very isolated country, conservative

INGROWING in Kuwait

Smoker's part in smoking booth in Kuwait

too much with no influence of rotting western free world. However "mighty" McD. is domesticated. "Excellent" is the way of smokers treatment. Something like booths, full of smokers and totally smoky. So poor smoker has to enjoy not his own cigarette only. Usual delay of flight and then with heart full of expectancy we are boarding - mission goal - Bangkok. Info is fair ... 33°C (91°F) - great!!! We took some pills before we fell asleep, then eating, then trying to relax... And now Bangkok is real, we are in, no problems with immigration officials. Zbyňa's tattoos are No.1 of the day, Vlakin's superb backstage (thank you Chymus)... Yos is waiting for us on the airport as we prearranged, he will do two gigs here. Airport was air conditioned but as we walked out from there - weather was extremely hot. T-shirts were applied and we are looking forward to wear shorts!!! Taxi van we took and now I can say.

that we were enchanted by Asia. We really looked forward to be here and now we are - great!!! I wanna scream as looney. Yos has nice flat, web connection, shower (outdoors but excelent) and I love it. Money exchange and then let's go to the center of life!!! We're eating somewhere, INGRO dudes are blessing the first beer in their mouths (especially Singha they told me) and we are fine. Thai people are smiling... They live their lives in relaxing way and it the best what they can do I think. On the boat we are for a while, then walking again and still no turists I can see. But we go straight to the center of this megapolis, known Khowsen Road... Mass of turists, stores, pubs, restaurants... What you want is here... Walking through the crowd... Yos took us to his

Yos with us at Thai restaurant

Grasshoppers, cockroaches & other titbits

friend's tattoo & piercing saloon KING STAR and are very interested. Especially Zbyňa, he bought new flashes with skulls and bones, some kind of Jolly Roger. We meet couple of people playing in bands, tattooed individuals, and music is heard from everywhere (IMPETIGO rulez!) Chating... lots to say we have. Guys are drinking Singha beers, then some whisky. I tried Thai style coffee (hot coffee poured into plastic bag with ice) and finally I found vege restaurant (established in '88). I ordered a food, trying to eat with sticks (pretty difficult). But this part is still OK about the Thai cuisine. Most dangerous thing is spice. Oral massacre, I almost cry as a baby... Smaller pieces with more rice... I can't be... Water, please!!! Other guys are testing Asia with full throttle - they eat some grilled grasshoppers and other unidentified things of asean cullinary. Fun goes on, we talk where to go (we want to see a beach) and my dudes are looking forward to grind the strings!!!

On Friday not so much people are expected on the gig but next one is to be great... I don't understand a little bit. I feel that scene here is divided to HC, death, black, grind etc. and that is not the best. I think that extreme scene is only one. I can see that music connects us, making us friends - everywhere here, on second part of the globe - and they are full of extreme music like us.

3.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)

And night was ended in very extraordinary, party, a big one!!! Yos bought some beers, guys in accordance bought a bottle of whisky and here they went... Party is finishing, Czech boozers wins, Yos falling down to bed and asleep... Zbyňa and Rob spawn some "ideas" such as "let's to have party at ballroom", or "way back we surely find in this darkness" and then alcohol knock them out... And silence. Together with Vlakin I finished daily report to send it to Chymus including pictures and now is the end of the very long day and we fall asleep too. Tomorrow morning Yos is almost unusable so he rang to his boss in Czech way to explain why he could not go to work and apologized. He was down. Thai scythe was broken by Czech stone, hehehe...

Poor Yos and INGROWING

INGROWING and Buddhas

Yos this day was not going to drink... We checking the web, taking taxi and let us go to centre again... Todasy we will face to Thai history and we are looking forward to that as kids... To known places as The Grand Palace pr Wat Phra Kaeo we are not allowed to enter due to our clothes (long trousers and normal shoes are required - click on www.palaces.thai.net), so we decided to visit another "titbit" - Wat Pho, one of the biggest and oldest temples in Bangkok. It was built up about 200 years ago... Amazing!!! This orient culture is our cup of tea. We spent almost one hour here but we are awaited by laying Buddha (colossus of 49 meters, 160 ft long and 12 meters, 40 ft high) and I feel that I can't believe my own eyes. To Khaosan on way back we took so called tuk tuk (crazy driver is only method to move elsewhere). Now the time to visit my beloved vege restaurant again. I am followed by all others with no hesitations or complainings, light food and we

are fine!!! This is the first not European tour I am not hungry. Eating with sticks? I am a champion of that!!! And, by the way, the food is much more tasty for me. We take some pictures with May Kaidee who established this first vege restaurant in here in 1988 and we are going to get back again for sure. It is close to Khao San on the Bowon Niwet Road or click on www.maykaidee.com!!! Next our plan is not so sure... Zbyňa wanted to have dreads on his head - I think he will become gravy big shot dude... Me and Rob decide to visit muai thai match. Taking tuk tuk (some kind of motorcycle with three wheels can pass everywhere)... Muai thai is kind of thai box... It is not our cup of tea but there it is national sport. Thai people betting on it, excited as small devils. At the entrance we realize that entry fee

Vlakin - Lord of the Sticks

Fun picture at KING STARS

for foreigners is 500 bahts. Oh shit, to much we want not to pay... We will see later. Our steps lead us to KING STARS saloon, fine music to listen, chatting about beloved bands, learning words of survival such as beer, prick, asshole and so on. Then some dude called Boy arrives (member of one of the most important bands from Thailand, LACERATE). He is cool guy so we have lots of fun. On Sunday we are invited to visit him at Pattaya to have fun and relax with sunbathing and swimming... Yeah!!!

4.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)
Rock Pub + DEZEMBER

Taking some feast (Thai cuisine is genuine) and together with Vlakin as old daddies we walk to Yos' home... One o'clock morning, to write report, send pictures... We are tired. But Zbyňa and Rob are full of energy... They decided to have party at Khao San... Me and Vlakin, trying to calm them down, time to sleep... With no success... They are kings of this night... Screaming: "BANGKOK!!!" and trembling with alcoholic fever... OK, we give them paper with address and phone number of Yos and with hopes they will find way back... I cannot sleep, half past four morning, Vlakin snores so I decided to sleep at living room. But there's no sign of dudes getting back. I am little bit nervous, about eight o'clock morning we have briefing with Vlakin, what to do. Kings of the night still are not at home and the fun ends here.

Slumber of incapable

Čurby and Nick

Fuck that up, I am going to buy a water mellon on mall... Every day people wake up so soon here, cooking, selling... Really vigorous nation... Ok, I am going from house of Yos to nearest mall, I want to cross the street but close to temple a florist waving with hands to me, I show her I am going to buy something but she points her hand somewhere on the right side from her... I go there... There are our kings of the night, Czech homeless sleeping on small banquette... They look like cadavers - Zbyna and Rob... Almost katatonic, what the shame I have my camera here. Real bums, hair tangled, clothes tumbled. I try to wake them up, it's hard work... Glass eyes are pointed to me but there's no intelligence in it. Rob's babbling something and Zbyna laughs as freak. Unbelievable. I lead them about 100 meters (110 yds) to house. Whisky was the problem, they are innocent... Cab driver turfed them out on boulevard and they couldn't find the right way home... We call

them bums, we have lots of fun about them but these alcozombies fell down asleep. So I walk to mall, among the stands, meat, bananas, eggs, vegetables, sometimes I feel horrible stench... Buying mellon, getting back and finally falling asleep. Hot! All the day, all the night, air conditions are on with full power non stop. At two o'clock afternoon we wake up and packing all needed for upcoming show. Taking cab, six persons are stuffed in it as usually. They say you can do everything you like here in Thailand (in fact yesterday this idea was said by a dude pissing right on the street at KING STAR saloon). Traffic is stuck we almost can't move, extreme jam. It makes me mad. Thai people are OK, no problems. Bangkok traffic density is brutally high - maybe the most dense on whole globe. 10

DEZEMBER

Tium & Čurby ... I am the boss, you are the boss

kilometres (6 miles) took an hour. We arrived to the most known club in Bangkok, to the Rock Pub... This year it will be 18th anniversary of its existence. It is very nice club very close to European style. Right here SODOM recorded One Night in Bangkok double CD and this show was enjoyed by 400 maniacs. Also Doro Pesch, IMPIETY, RAMBO and so on performed their show on that stage. Zbyna has snare here, all seems to be good. We went to eat something, putting CD's and other merchandise on the table, INGROWING make soundcheck. Nick from Ireland comes to me (all the time on non European tours I meet people who moved out somewhere to live, excellent friends), I meet German dudes who took same flight as we did and more... All 20 T-shirts are sold out in a moment. Selling for UG prices (very same as in Czech Republic) and people are hungry for this commodity. Yos told that price of Obscene CD's are about 700 bahts, we sell for 350. At six o'clock evening show opens. DEZEMBER, the oldest band of Thai scene, playing thrash. Guitarist was very precise and skilled. As support for INGROWING, I don't know, very strange combination. But they were pretty good in fact. INGROWING's turn comes, 50-60 heads inside. Everyone makes us sure that next show will be much better because the most brutal bands in Thailand will support INGROWING. Some place in front of stage, then tables and chairs eveywhere. Thai people sat down and watching... We will see. INGROWING starts grind bulldozer, intro and first track "Exposed to the Light"... Between songs I can hear roar of Thai, raising hands up, waiting

for more. More songs... Owner of club wants INGROWING playing more than one hour... ufff... INGROWING feeds the fire. 4 brand new track for this tour were composed to be included on forthcoming album. Superb (mix of GUT/GENERAL SURGERY/EXHUMED) machine gun. Arrgghh!!! After 40 minutes all playlist tracks were done... Usual question, usual answer... Great support of audience has cover of TERRORIZER "Corporation Pull-In" - extensive headbanging. I am shocked seeing all the time smiling Thai people to make hell on Earth... Boy of LACERATE is lord of headbangers and crazy faceshifters. Three more songs and it is over... Acceptance is pretty good, grind core managed but I was feared of a little bit in the beginning... It is very different in comparison with Europe. First

Three trunks

INGROWING in Bangkok

show, we believe it will be better and better. Boss prepared for us an excellent feast... We are full of food fools... Packing luggage and now we see that in slow lane ponds an elephant, tail decorated with red flashing signal... Funny. Two cabs we take to get back to Yos. We just bought the beers, juices and sato and next pretty gabfest could start...

5.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)
The Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaeo, Loha Prasat, Golden Mouth

Astonishing! I almost have done daily report and suddenly crash, boom, bang... I lost all I wrote so I can sweat text again. We have crucious problem with mosquitoes. All window are sealed with nets, but these little buggers can find the way in. What a battle. They are slaughtered by some kind of racket charged with static electricity. Walking through the house now forehand, now backhand, lobbing and passing like such Andre Agassi. If you hear crackling noise you know you were accurate. But buzzing is not going to stop. Vlakin starts his snorring machine. So we have just only poor chance to fall asleep. I surrender first and moved out to living room. This nocturnal nasal earthquake is heard in room of our hosts, Yos and Kath, too. By the way, our hosts, well well, they are absolutely great!!! Helpful, cheerful, ready to

Čurby selfmade

Czechs and King of demons

show us the best, give us the best... Really we like them so much and we hope they do so. Thanky for everything friends!!! About 5 a.m. we can sleep for while. We wake up at 10 a.m., taking shower, cold but very refreshing. Today we planned the second attack of Thai history. Royal Palace, and Wat Phra Kaeo temple complex of renowned Emerald Buddha. To visit these places you have to be clothed with long pants and normal shoes. In front of us are guarding 6 metres (20') tall statues of demons-patrons and they are widely smiling. Wow, I want to take one of them to my backyard, I really like it. We are almost unconscious with all these multifarious, multicoloured beauty, temples, sanctuaries... Excellent, perfect and detailed. Words are senseless to describe all what we could see... see the pictures. All this Thai prettiness captured us. Visit, if you can. Everything is powered by the sunshine... Small model of Angkor Wat of Cambodia (that I recommend to visit. Awesome!!! - note by Chymus) - in the past Cambodia was mighty kingdom dominating in Thailand, Laos and Burma - then royal mausoleum, pantheon... and we move slowly through the lines of stone demons (we love them!) to the largest building here, to temple of Emerald Buddha. We take our shoes off (buddhistic tradition) and silently in devotion we looking around. Now we feel that we can't use camera, this must be written in your heart. It is normal to not speak loudly I think, because it is really impossible, you can't do anything, just watching. Thai and other people meditate here, man has million of time to think here. Painted walls with historical scenes. Right in the

middle we stare at high piedestal to see not so big statue of Emerald Buddha, statue of many stories, legends and myths. It caused lots of miracles, and its owner brings richness. In these days it is an amulet of king and all Thai people. Three times a year is held a ceremony of changing clothes of Buddha, done by king himself. With lips sealed we went out. In the eyes of buddhists we can see respect and devotion and so we have in ours. Walking around the temples, taking pictures we reach Royal Palace. On the left is secured building for VIP of the king. Last week, president of Singapore was here. We are not such VIP so we can see through the fence only. We see more buildings of Royal Palace but the most important thing was behind us. Now is the time to relax, because sun is burning hot.

Hor Phra Monthian Dharma

Rob

No sunrape today, sun rapes us, he, he, he. We change our clothes to more comfy shorts and flip flops, then taking taxi to eat somewhere. I walk to my beloved destination and dudes somewhere else. Lord of the Sticks was overestimated by me. NOw Vlakin eats with wrong turned sticks and he is such stubborn to not hear the truth he's really wrong. But the restaurant staff explained it in minute and Vlaking has a gift from them - these sticks. Some bites of cold fruits and then we go to Loha Prasat, very unique iron construction. Climbing up the 67 steps to the upper terrace to be rewarded with beautifull view to Bangkok from above. Barbecued by inexorable sun we go to Golden Tower. It is on the place of mass grave of thousands victims of plague, more than 150 years ago. We climb up again to clang the bell, and then to visit the place of Buddha's teeth enshinement. Walking to the top and relaxing there and enjoying the beauty of Bangkok downtown, watching the life around. Our trip is almost over, we get back by taxi, boat and tuk tuk, full of experience. Then we are listening some grind core and chatting. Tomorrow we want to visit the greatest Thai mall, China Town and Golden Buddha!!!

6.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)
Mall, China Town, Chelsea

So we have to change our plans, today is the day of mall. We can not pass it by. Bangkok mall is one of the biggest in Asia. Thousands and thousands of stands. We wake up about 11 a.m., then breakfast and then to subway by feet. What a shame Bangkok has just only short lines of small range. But fine change of traveling style. Thai people and tourists are in huge crowd to get there. What about to say of mall? Monstrous humming human bowl. Thousands of shops selling everything you wonder, including the football dresses of any kind. I don't understand why here's Czech republic dresses missing. They perhaps are waiting for more better results from us. But dress of Nedved we saw as first one. I would like to buy national dress of Argentina but the sizes are recommended to elephants, hightowers and godzillas

Morning at Yos's home

Mall

of Vlakin's style. Tahi people wore football dresses, it is very popular here. But where they buy thier sizes I just wonder. Vlaking fals in love with the t-shirt of England national team. I take for me and Nat t-shirt of Barcelona. This year Barcelona rulez. And the prices? Brilliant! Nice prices either for us Czech loosers. Let's buy clothes for 60 CZK... Sun is burning hot as usually. We spent some about 4 hours at the mall, buying the gifts. We get back by subway to terminus to visit Gloden Buddha. But this sanctuary is closed, so then we decided to go to China Town. Crossing the street and can't believe my eyes. Light is green!!! Wow, China Town is a isolated hell. Noise of street, traffic is dense, whistling, jamming, crowd everywhere. Chinese people are preparing to celebrate the end of their year (last day of Chinese calendar and Zbyna is looking forward to celebrate one more New Year, he he he). Stands selling food, clothes and so on and our nostrils are attacked time after time

by strange smells and reeks. Another world. Back to house of Yos and here Kia of Symphonic Blast record waits for us. He arrived from Malaysia to bring us the tour t-shirts and CD's of "Decameron of Grind". Me and Chymus, we were feared of results of prints but everything is excellent!!! T-shirts are great and CD is flawless. Kia is that mighty man who helped to make this tour real, thank you dude!!! We are chatting and planning the route to Malaysia. Finally we decide to take flight to get there. Prices are normal and for me 30 hours in a van or a bus... no, thanks. Kia informed us taht shows in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are going to be perfect and we are looking forward to that. Yos, Vlakin and me take a cab to Khao San to eat and from 11 p.m. is football match on TV - Chelsea and we have to see it!!!

China Town

Čurby and Chinese girl

There's poll in Thailand so to sell alcohol is strictly forbidden, but it depends. On Khao San is one totally occupied pub, full of drunken tourists and football athmosphere is very loud. We go next of this pub. Beer is poured into plastic cups, it doesn't matter. First halftime is great, Chelsea runs as freak, in base line up plays Petr Čech and Jiří Jaroštík and we are proud of them. Yos shocked me by roar Come on, John!!! to Terry. Wow, what a fan! Second halftime is worse, 0:0 is quite enough for Manchester City. Chelsea has no happy day. All chances end up in goalman's gloves. This evening of famous James and great bomb of Lampard one minute before the end of prelonged time... I feel heart attack coming. Score 0:0, Arsenal wins. So so. Getting back, then writing the postcards and preparing for trip to coast.

7.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)
way to Pattaya

That day is so relaxing and chilling out. We slept as long as we can... gathering the energy. We have no plan for today, just sitting and drinking only. I did update of OBSCENE EXTREME news (at last!!!)... I am sorry, it was almost impossible. Chatting with Kia about forthcoming days of the tour. He told that 800 to 1.000 people will come to see gig. In Indonesia almost 1.500 heads. We thought that is so overestimated but we will see soon. Yos booked flight tickets for us to Kuala Lumpur. Now it's 4 p.m. and we have to be at bus station to meet Boy of LACERATE... We are there just in time but Boy has fucking long delay - about two hours. Nevermind, he's finally here with keys of apartment in Pattaya. Buying tickets and hitting the road... Po of GOOD DAY FOR KILLING/MASOCHIST waits for us in Pattaya

Zbyňa shaves Vlakin in Big Boss style

Dinner at Indian restaurant

and then we go to the centre... Wow! Loud music, go-go girls and boys everywhere - you cannot recognize sometimes... Strip shows, it could dangerous hehehe... All for the tourists. And pretty expesive of course. Sexual tourism here rolling here with full throttle. We can see old man (almost undertaker's customer) hand in hand with Thai beauty. They go there to rent a girl for all they want. It doesn't matter to Thai people, take-it-easy style, they are buddhists of course. Hanging around for a while, the wa take the lunch at superb India restaurant (oh, man I am so hungry so I ate 2 plates of food!!!), dudes bought bottle of whisky and now let's go to Boy's home. His mother has apartment close to beach. An Apartment!!! Two bedrooms, shower, living room, kitchen and air conditioned. At maximum. First time I am cold in Thailand... LOwer please... And party again. I am so exhausted so I decided to go to bed. Wonderful slumber! We got up at 12:30 a.m. Vlakin

kept me informed about party. Pretty cool he said. Kia, Po and Boy wanted to know everything of INGROWING, of Eddie, of Pouzar (hello dude!!!). We are surprised what they know of us...

8.2.2005 PATTAYA (Thailand)
sun and peace

OK, for us, from Central Europe, with no sea... D day has come. Rob has the first contact with the sea, so he horseplays... And we are very same. Sea is almost boiling hot and we are enjoying it as well. I saw some seas and oceans, but this boiling kettle??? I don't know what to write. It's good to live for these moments of life. I am little bit sad - I would like to have my almost-wife and kids here... Waves are lovely so we make all whatr we want... Zbyna is crazy and Vlakin grinds the waves as cetacean... Life is good... We take sunb bath (at last!!!) and locustions such as "February white of snow, wheat from soil up to grow" make our mood better and better. Genuine relax!!! And now some about music... Boy of LACERATED has label and he's going to release 6-way split CD of ROTTEN SOUND (Mika was

Beach at last!!!

Evil INGROWING on the beach

here two times and all of people here like him!!! Hello bro!!!), INGROWING, MASOCHIST and some Asean bands as EXTREME DECAY of MASS SEPARATION (Kia plays drums in this band, wow, what a massacre!!!). Excellent idea, all bands are to record new songs. By the end of 2005 is the release date of that stuff. We rented an old tire to have more fun of swimming and waves!!! Yeah!!! This day has no end, at 6 p.m. we decided to go to swimming pool to practice flips, purlers and other skills...ufff... Too much water for today... We go to the apartment to chill out. Then to the town, internet cafe and to eat of course... Tomorrow morning we will get back to Bangkok, to play the second show at The Rock Pub!!!

9.2.2005 BANGKOK (Thailand)
Rock Pub + LACERATE, DEATHGUY, MASOCHIST - 200 fans

Pattaya knocked us out completely!!! Great!!! We cannot sleep again and morning we have to get up at 7.20 a.m., it sucks. At 4 a.m. I have to go to toilet and Rob and Zbyňa still talking... Damned morning. Packing our luggage, then to bus station we go. Last look at the beach, we will miss it! Next one we will see on Bali, excellent as I heard too. Transport to Bangkok is no problem. Each hour one bus departures from here. Buses are full, but nobody stands in it. We reach Bangkok, taking Sky train to get to post office. We have to send postcards we bear almost one week ago. Then Boy leads us to Yos's home. As usually - shower, daily report and pictures to be send to Chymus. Then we take cab to Rock Pub. Three hours before shows starts and here we can see crowd of fans. I have an excellent mood. Another gig

Good bye our beloved banquette

Kia and Vlakin at club and merchadise

to play... Lots of people, we take pictures. Editors of METAL zine have come to do interviews with Vlakin and then with me about Obscene, Tahiland, traveling and football - great talk, thank you guys!!! www.siammetal.com and www.metalthai.com - prefect! We have no doubts they are glad we are here. We get gifts, CD's, tapes... It is going to be hell today. Club is full of 200 heads waiting for their portion of brutal music. MASOCHIST as first band is really brutal. Boy plays drums but he has to learn more... brutal gore/death/grind massage. They play 4 songs including two covers and their set is over. Then DEATHGUY attacked the stage. Great dudes, we met them before show... And now I almost shit my eyes out of head - ufff - hidden behind the hoods and with monstrous boots. And they are slaughtering everything breathing being in audience with brutal death metal a la SUFFOCATION - superb!!! Gravy vocals and speed is inexorable. Audience

starts to boil hot. Brutal band, however recorded stuff was not my cup of tea, but live performace is genuine, I can recommend. Then LACERATE's. Boy as frontman is really insane animal!!! Running on the stage serving plates of death metal brutally!!! Fans started with stagediving and Boy gives more and more to them. And now INGROWING comes... Sound is brilliant for now, using my camera standing almost in the middle of audience (club is unimaginable full of people), I can hear sound of intro and roar of fans. It seems to be good time... First grab at strings... I can't believe my own eyes (after I shit them out from my head)... Peaceful and smiling Thai people and now they turned their faces to extreme grimaces... Maniacs. INGROWING plays at 110% and fans scream for more and more. Stagediving as immitation of explosion. I cannot move and I almost feel my cold spine. Enthusiasm for music is really palpable here. You can touch it. See the pictures to imagine that hell on Earth. Inside club is extremely hot and INGROWING with each next song just heats a bit more. Great evening, perfect show, excellent fans wanted to not INGROWING go down from the stage... Guys are wet, but happy as much as possible. Yelling up for more INGROWING, so Budweis kids drenched of sweat take instruments for three more songs. And it is over. Autographs, taking the pictures with

DEATHGUY killers!!!

Zbyňa? What's so funny?

Czech heroes of the day. I left club and went outdoor to take breath. Fans are supporting and buying merchandise as freaks. Kia sold everything he had (25 CD's of Decameron of Grind and 20 T-shirts). I am selling bunch of Obscene releases. Thank you all for that great evening!!! You were wonderful!!! After gig we get back to Yos's home to pack our luggage, Yos tries to tune TV to football match of England vs. Holland (Come on John!) but with no success, so he decides to watch Greece vs. Danemark. At 4 a.m. we drive to airport. Flight to Kuala Lumpur is planned for today. Farewell Yos, farewell Kath... We will miss you all. Thailand is great country and we have to get back one more time for sure!!!

10.2.2005 BANGKOK - KUALA LUMPUR - SELANGOR (Malaysia)

We paid 500 bahts for each to leave Thailand (for better budget in this year..) and now we are boarding our flight by Air Asia Airlines. Fair company, good prices so we decided to use their services to reach Bali in Indonesia. Our flight takes off early morning so we had short time to take a rest. On board is plenty of free space so we relax as much as we can. In two hours we are in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We change Thai bahts to Malaysian ringgits, then to car we go. Dude of NAZZAQ and Kia's friend waits for us here to get to Kia's home. Only thing I can tell about Malaysia is - here is really really hot weather. We drive near Petronas gas station, where temperature is displayed - 37°C (99°F). And it really kills. We are on the highway (toll has to be paid!!!) and in one hour we are in Selangor where Kia lives. He lives in settlement, together with his parents (they are in Penang to celebrate

Classical position "book reader"

Zbyňa sleeps in plane in same way as in train

Chinese New Year). By the way, Kia is Chinese, Yos is half Chinese and Kath is Chinese too). We have flat free to use. Another surprise - the toilet. European guy is used to read books, listen to music or do something else while he sits on the toilet, but here we can find special kind of that - hole-in-the-floor style. But some virtues are here too. Hot is not to ease off, we go to eat somewhere. It is cool to watch Malay people eating by hands, enjoying it... We realize that Malay people are islamic. We get back home to sleep for while finally. This day is dedicated to relax and chill out. In the evening we order a pizza (by the way, Malaysia is more gentle than Thailand in my eyes, I don't know why) and then we watch TV. Football of course. It is so popular in whole Asia. Everywhere you go, you can watch football, pubs have large screens for it. It goes on non stop, live at night... Stepwise we fall asleep. Kia slept right on the floor. He couldn't be persuaded he's at home. So are glad to sleep in bed. Tomorrow morning we are going to visit Kuala Lumpur (by train) to see world from above. PETRONAS TOWERS - so we looking forward to...

PETRONAS towers

Damn, morning, getting up we hate… It makes us sick, but what could we do? Today we are going to visit PETRONAS towers so that idea kicks us out of the beds. Cabs to railway station, train to Kuala Lumpur... in forty minutes we are there... At first to restaurant, excellent food (but nothing else than rice or noodles as side dish. We go to our destination for this day. We can see that is monstrous giant, from such distance. Taking subway to get right there. We can't speak thanks to be so amazed. I watch these towers on TV, but that sight looses breath off. Tower penetrates the sky and we feel slight inferiority. Huge, metal construction - far away from ground tower are connected with tube as corridor. We have to get there. Taking pictures and hanging around together with other tourists. We want to see Kuala Lumpur from above, from these towers - but... Unbelievable!!! Impossible!!! Tickets are sold out for today, at 1 p.m.!!! We travel thousands miles to visit all that sights. And some doorkeeper, with no trouble in mind, tells us we can't go in. I don't understand at all. So have I sleep here on the ground to buy tickets early morning? These tower are the most important sight in Kuala Lumpur. You can see it on postcards, t-shirts, stickers and blah blah blah, and I can't visit it??? Sad but not defeated I decided to try another day - we have couple of days to get there again, we spend some days here either... So we enjoy the might of this architecture and we are glad to travel like that and see these sights. We are going to drink some coffee. We

shocked by waiter knowing term grind core. He told us of his participation on gig of UNHOLY GRAVE month before. We have good time with him. Coffee is f***ing expensive. We are spoiled a litle bit because of our friends' prices norms. Hanging around one more time, trying to reach towers from shopping centre beneath. No success. Damn! Taking bus to visit China town. Buying extra cheap t-shirts for Nathan and so on. We visit one metal shop, bunch of CDR's as EXHUMED for example, then restaurant and we are on the way back to Selangor. Scuffing and tired... Evening comes in and we want to go nowhere. There's no pub with beer on the tap so we are concentrating for forthcoming gigs. Three ones in two days!!!

12.2.2005 KUALA LUMPUR
Focus 1 Discotheque
NAZZAQ, NEGATION, SPERMBLAST, FLESH DISGORGED, ARKHAYTULMAYT - 350 fans

We woke up at 11.00 a.m., then to Hassan's to have dish and then we hit the road to Kuala Lumput. Finally next gig comes. Club is huge. Show is geting started and dream of 1.000 fans fades out. But they are so glad we are here. They can see European band so guys of INGROWING have to give lots of autographs. It is still extraordinary occassion even if more and more bands go here to play shows. But it is still an Eden. Coming to the club I can meet and see people I am in touch for years ago - Zan of SPERMBLAST, Rudy who released RGTE/ENTRAILS MASSACRE/SUPPOSITORY split CD, Reza of REVENGE productions, Hisham in t-shirt of GRIDE (Iny I have to say greetings from him!!!) and more other labels, distros etc. At one merchandise patches are sold - I can see patches of OBSCENE, unbelievable!!! I got two ones and I am glad. OBSCENE has good reputation here and I am proud that OBSCENE bands are known very well. Of course here are patches of NEGLIGENT COLLATERAL COLLAPSE, ABORTION, SQUASH BOWELS, INGROWING, ISACAARUM put on the table next of ginats of the scene such as DISMEMBER, BRUTAL TRUTH or NAPALM DEATH... Gig started one hour later instead at the annouced time... ARKHAYTULMAYT mixes black and death metal, vintage of 1990 in Czech republic and that is not our cup o0f tea in

INGROWING playlist

Roarr... SPERMBLAST

fact. People are resting just some headbangers I see in front of the stage. Next band id butcher commando Singapore - FLESH DISGORGED, dressed in waistcoats - brutal death seasoned with gore grind, mixture of DISGORGE and MORTICIAN, fine dudes - we will them tomorrow in Sigapore. Only one thing is not the best - sound - terrible. Nevermind, SPERMBLAST, very old band (on CD not so good but live performance is great). Two frontmen and crowd is almost insane. Fans attacks witj wallets our merchandise and I sold all of OEF 2003 DVD's and bunch of CD's... Third show and 10 DVD's sold. OK, I'm hungry so dudes of SPERMBLAST take me to China restaurant. They shocked me really... all volumes of OEF compilation since 1999 to 2004 are put on the table with demand of my signature dedication... we chat about music, festivals and so on. They paid for me against my will... I am complaining I had no chance to see Kuala Lumpur from above, from the high of the twin towers - and what a coincidence!!! Vocalist of SPERMBLAST works as a cop securing the entrance to the towers. He gives me a phone number... on Monday my dream will come true!!!Getting back to th show... alll people are excited of NEGATION - ultra fast grind/HC in NASUM style, tracks length about 45 seconds, rumble, stop anmd go... grind such I love. Damn! I think I missed the best band supporting. Now NAZZAQ prepares its own turn with Kia as the drummer. These dudes take care of us during this part of tour. And they do it very well. Music is slower a little bit - death metal with taste of grind core, no lumbering, just relaxing. Time for INGROWING comes, soundcheck, sound seems to be better... But still not

perfect. I prepare my camera... intro... grind on!!! Fans gathered in front of the stage and INGROartillery fires. It is not same as Bangkok but not bad. Monitors are almost out of order... Among the people the sound is much better. Crowd seems to be tired and exhausted ... But nevermind, thank you Kuala Lumpur. Packing all out stuff, eating, we have to hurry up because Everton - Chelsea match we want to watch on TV - I sit next of some buddies and I am not surprised hearing they bless Nedved or Baros. Chelsea is in good condition... There's no problem. After that we go to the bus station to catch night line to Johor Bahru.

At the bus station is extremely hot. But in the bus the air condition works at maximum power and we are frozen in a minute. We wait more than hour for dudes from Johor Bahru. We call these places as Cockroach Hill, Mosquito paradise or Rat Valley... We split in two groups and at 7.00 a.m. we are falling asleep. I wake up at 11.30 a.m. Dudes woke up earlier, at 10.00 a.m. and they are right there. Club looks good and sound should excellent for this day. First band play genuine music, but more heavy... Next are ARGON (our friend Prop plays here), metallic, more death and grind... and other next bands are great!!! This town is of grind core, I wanna to live here, he, he, he!!! Dense grind core... This gig I really enjoy!!! RECONSTRUCT - great massacre of grind, DAY OF TOMORROW - metallic grind pal, TOOLS OF THE TRADE - arse ripping grind inferno and DAMOKIS, grind core meatbeater with superb sense of humour. And then INGROWING preparing its charge. It seems to be excellent gig. Members of all bands played here are gathering in front of the stage and shout at INGROWING. First riff and hell on Earth unleashed. Sound grinds as fuck and INGROWING nails down all the grinders here. Security dudes stay on the stage, fans are flowing as the water through them to the stage, they are extraordinarily excited. Afternoon party turns to superb gig!!! There's no time to play more songs so we take small relax. We got some

ARGON

INGROWING in Johor Bahru

beers and non alcoholic drinks (when Rob wanted to buy one beer before gig, barkeeper decided to ring his boss for permission to sell it, he, he, he). Then massive photo session and givig autographs. We got some food and money for gig we travel to Singapore. Very adventurous one. That day is the last one of vacation and human river flows to Singapore. No cabs to rent, we have take bus and traffic jam is everywhere. I recalled the time when iron curtain fell down. Bus took us just only to the border, to customer office we have to go by walk. If you are delayed bus will not wait for you... CD's are taken by our friend from Singapore - offices are obsessed with controlling mania and we want not to have problems with them. On the other side Fahmy of DEMISOR waits for us to take us to the club. He said that 300 heads wait for us in front of club. We are allowed to eneter Singapore and everyone tells WELCOME IN SINGAPORE!!! I was frightened I cannot go there... And I am here now. 40 minutes to go and we are at club situated on sixth floor. Luxurious one!!! We ahve to hurry up because WTN starts playing. I take camera to recird this gore grind limbo. Singapore fans are burly, headbanging is an artwork here. Stagediving, trembling... Wow. Perfect!!! Nice to watch it!! Unpacking distro and selling t-shirts, CD's and so on, all is green. Next are DEMISOR. A legend of Asean scene. They formed in 1987 and still they have not full length album. What about the notice to Guiness book of records, guys, hehehe? DEMISOR are wonderful!!! INsane!!! Guitarist has a scarf on his mouth, fans are in orgasm nearly. I shooking my head in these beloved rhythms. Inhale/Exhale cover song and I am in cloud nine. Thank you for

great gig!!! You were excellent!!! The second show of INGROWING are here. They have just only 30 minutes left to persuade fans they could play grindcore in the best way... First tune and scuffle everywhere... Zbyna engages speed of shikanzen and fans are bowing in front of him such he is god. Great support and devotion, wow!!! First rows are bubbling boiling hot - marvelous show!!! Thank you for acceptance like this. Sweating and happy. Total hunger for extreme music and Singapore is one of the greatest places we could do our show. Fahmy booked hotel for us (first in 14 days, so I blessed the gift of warm water) and we go to have dinner. What a feast!!! Tiger beer flows in streams... Me and Vlakin trying drink of sugar reed - yum! It is 3 a.m. and guys are loaded a bit. 3 beers, warmth, fatigue - and over. Fahmy told me he works in Singapore Airlines so he has flight tickest for free. So he can meet us at OEF but he is afraid of our weather, hehehe... Forget this rubbish and come to Czech republic to meet us. And take whole band with you! Singapore was excellent place... I cannot remember some bad thing through this tour... Hotel room, shower and bed...

14.2.2005 SINGAPORE
- KUALA LUMPUR

Wow. What the fuck again? ... Another morning. 45 minutes of sweet slumber and then the traveling calls... by bus to the borders and we delayed... bus departed without us, we have to wait for next one, paying other more tickets... We took the pictures of sign "SINGAPORE" and trade label sign of travel agency called DEATH... we reach bus station and Fadzil tries to rebook our tickets to Kuala Lumpur (bus we have tickets for is away already... waiting for nobody) We buy food/drinks and saying farewell to our Singapore and Johor Bahru protector Fadzil and then we collapse into luxurious seats. You can do almost the bed of it. Real business class. LOts of space even for Eiffel tower's brother Vlakin too indeed. 4 hours of drive is over with no complication except the very end. Crazy traffic jam in Kuala Lumpur... Only thing I really hate of Asia... At the station we wait for cars stuck in traffic collapsed to take us to Selangor... We drive almost step by step to Kia's home - shower, packing luggage... I have to write daily report and to send pictures. About 10 p.m. I finish my work and duty of tour manager, then me, Kia and Kia's girlfriend are going to restaurant. Meanwhile INGROWING dudes have good time with members of SPERMBLAST in Kuala Lumpur. We have been invited to visit the Petronas towers for this evening and see Kuala Lumpur by night. I'm excited as small child. Yes, yes, yes... SPERMBLAST vocalist did	Turn right and you are in Singapore
On road again	all the best to be truly in his words (as everyone here in fact - I don't really understand why Asean scene has so bad reputation in that)... I know only fair-play here, nothing else and helpfulness. At 1 a.m. we are going to visit the towers, again. Shaking hands with security dudes and we are real V.I.P. to see Kuala Lumpur from above by night. We have to reach the bridge on 42nd floor, connecting both of buildings... We are stuffed into elevator together with SPERMBLAST and few other guys... Few seconds - we feel the pressure in heads as elevator runs to the sky... First look is wonderful and the others are more and more intense... Enlightened Kuala Lumpur similar to Legoland in miniature, all these skyscrapers, all buildings - I cannot believe my own eyes - exclusive view. Going to the celestial bridge... we are numb of this beauty... and now we have occassion to visit upper floors in range of elevator (number of floors is equal to 88). Our destination is on 83rd floor. Extraordinary for us, because
these floor can be viisited really by V.I.P. only. Including Czech president. We are ensured that we are first czech people here to see Kuala Lumpur by night. We are here... running to the windows to let eyes to feast on that view. HUge skyscrapers are small boxes near the ground... Everything is so tiny. There's no more words needed. I feel myself I live in sci-fi/fantasy dream. Last view and we are staying on the pavement. Short excursion to the philharmony hall... Fascinating... why we couldn't play here Vlakin asks Kia... He, he, he... and we have to say goo bye to our guide. Kia says farewell too (we will meet him in Bandung or Tangerang, Indonesia) We are going to sleep at SPERMBLAST members' homes. One stop for joint (only selected members, he, he, he ... take a guess who?) and beer (nothing for me again, he, he, he) in home studio. We are glad to meet the soundmaster... (you have pretty good studio dude!!!0. But my watches shows 3 o'clock morning and last two night we slept 3 hours only... We are tired so much so we decided to go to sleep finally... Good bye then!!!	Fadzil is our protector in Johor Bahru a Singapuru

15.2.2005 KUALA LUMPUR > BALI/DENPASAR (Indonesia)

We slept on the floor, but it was great, at half past nine we are getting up. We want to go to the the city to buy some things. My camera is broken couple of days. I tried to manage to repair it somewhere but with no success. We have 14 day left... We hurry up to shopping center attacking camera shops... Accidentally we found the shop of horror movies dolls shop... Wow, great!!! I am sad I have not inflatable luggage. They have excellent items indeed. Jason of Friday 13, Leatherface of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (both I have in fact), Bride of Kill Bill, Alien, Predator, complete Star Wars or Elizabeth Bathory and much more. I really miss shop like this in Czech republic. Two shops I visited, hesitating what to buy an dthen I decided for SONY trademark. $110 discount and I cannot wait to have it. Next of that is shop of luggage. I buy one. We still got lots of presents, CD's, t-shirts and I realized I have no space to store it. Our friend of SPERMBLAST take us to airport in Kuala Lumpur (some about 60km/37 miles far away). OUr luggage has 103 kg/227 pounds so we have to pay almost $90 for greater load. I am begging joking my 3 children have nothing to eat in Europe and then we have survive 14 days in Indonesia... Succesfully. We have to pay no dollar more. He, he, he. Our flight (Asia Airlines again) is to land in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia... Destination of more tourists visiting Indonesia. White sand beaches, beautiful people, great	Forthcoming destination - Denpasar
In the sky by Air Asia	atmosphere... We looking forward to be there. Flight is superb, hostesses... see the pictures we took and Mr. Vlakin from Czech republic have won a cap of Asia Airlines. Landing, we are saluted by staff wanting to know who we are, what we play, from where we are... Everone is glad we are here. Custom officers wants to know what is hidden in cases we have... guitars and so on... how much is it? he asks and I am urged to go to thye office. He takes my passport. We have to pay $1,400 such as some kind of insurance he says. After half a hour he discounted to $700, I feel some cheat... I am asking for phone to Czech embassy... He resign and cheers us to Indonesia... Crazy, isn't it? We are going to the vestibul where dudes who will take care of us here, Rudy, Yonas and the others, hi Vlakin, they know our names with no hesitation. Two cars for us to accomodate us, then they buy first bottles of arak made of rice or something - Czechs are not shy... Accomodation is wonderful, Art Center in Denpasar - place where youths
have dates. We have dinner (by the way food and drink you can have for $1 only!!!). Yumo - but the sauces kill! We have to go to internet coffee shop, Zbyňa decided to be left here to make friendship... We drive to the center, passing the place of next gig... A billboard of INGROWING here, wow!!! Temperature is extreme. We are curious if Zbyňa survived arak attack... (we think he didn't)... We meet Zbyňa of great mood but others are "tired" already... I am going to sleep, rain comes, not spring shower but dense ropes of water... Tomorrow we will spend the day in Kuta at seaside...	Hostess id wonderful
Vlakin and exclusive staff	Bali welcomes...

16.2.2005 KUTA - NUSA DUA (Indonesia)

We slept very good this night, we are gong to hang around, to have breakfast. We are surprised with architecture and hospitality. They paying for us even it is not needed indeed. They také care of us like of sucklings. Rudy arrives to také us to most known brach on Bali island, to Kuta. Denpasar looks like a village but here more than milion people lives here. Running to the shore. Wow, great tide! Mekka of all surfers worldwide… Extra vlase and quite different from Pattaya. But we have to pay attention… We like this ocean too much. But crowd of sellers is catchy. Bugger off… still annoying us trying to sell something. We rejected one to more ten come back. W ego back to the ocean, enjoying this February vacation. Sellers are relentless… Cigarettes, necklaces, glasses, t-shirts and we are the victims. Vlakin and Zbyňa surrender and we cannot rif them off.

Known beach in Kuta

Čurby - tide is great and crowds of surfers

We are almost rude… Is this that Paradise? We decided to leave this place (…and you still have not been to Kenya yet – note by Chymus)… Absurdities everywhere… Some dude tries to sell me cigarettes. I told him I don’t smoke – So he tries to sell fighter. Another one wants to change towel for a mask. Should be OK, but he wants to pay €10 more, fuck off… Fortunately Rudy knows what to do, he takes us to real Paradise – Nusa Dua. Area of the most luxurious hotels – two Američan presidents spěny the time here – Donald reagan and Bill Clinton… Beautiful!!! Nobody is here to annoy us. Wonderful afternoon at the seaside. Sunbathing catches us… Yipe. It gonna hurt… We are spoilt white guys and sun is shinning inexorably here. Who cares? We are away from terrible beach of Kuta. Thank you Rudy for taking us here!!! Slowly going back to Denpasar, where we enjoy the swimming pool (we are only Europeans here, we have lot sof fun…), then back to Art Center (drum show begins, wow what a

noise of six drummers, I feel the breath of passed times). Then we change our clothes and let’s go to have dinner together with our friends to superb restaurant in Kuta… Sitting on the shore, eating, dribling, chatting about music as usually. On the way back we visit the cenotaph of bomb attack shaking this place in 2002. Great motto is written here – INNER PEACE CREATES WORLD PEACE. I have to remember that. This message of Bali people to the rest of the world is really motivating. For example – guys we had lunch are one islamic, other christian and next one hindu… Nobody has problem they are friends believing in different Gods… Ideal

17.2.2005 - DENPASAR - PANGGUNG UNDERGROUND festival - Lapargan Kampus - 900 heads

BORN BY MISTAKE, RIPPER CLOWN, REJEX, DEATH SPELL, PARAU, RITTUAL CRYPT, INFECTIOUS ARTERIES, ORGASMATRON, SETAN KECIL (Indonesia)

Today we are OK, nothing special we are going to do, just to relax we want... Only show in the evening. We go to the place of that show afternoon. In fact it seems to be first open air festival on this tour... In February, pretty good one, isnt it? It is at the campus of local University... built up stage we can see on the turf, PA's look good. Yonas reckons some about 1,000 people. We are not too optimistic... there's no entrance fee, only for parking place you have to pay - some about 50 cents. You know there's lot of sponsors for each show so it doesn't matter of fee like that. We have good mood due to of what we saw at the campus and mails from home. We decided to rest for couple of hours. We woke up at 6 p.m. Rudy is here to pick us up to another accomodation and to the festival area then. Show is delayed, we have no reason to hurry up. There is not so much people around. It changes as time flows. People staying on the turf, close to road... Why they don't go closer to the stage we wonder. First band started after short introduction done by beautiful girl. We don't care she speaks Bali language, she's simply

Billboard

ORGASMATRON

beautiful, that's it. Band by band playing its shows, some about 20 minutes each. SETAL KECIL - two guys on the stage mixing electronic sound with metal, one guitar, one computer, next are ORGASMATRON - not bad nu metal SLIPKNOT influenced. Now some brutal music - INFECTIOUS ARTERIES, honest death metal not so fast and crowd is getting mad. Next one, RITUAL CRYPT, atmo black metal - nice performance but BM is not our cup of tea. Then PARAU, metal core, great sound... people do horseplay and jumping. DEATH SPELL - killing SUFFOCATION ride, gurgulating vocals... but it is similar to merry-go-round, boring little bit. REJEX from Singapore - crusty punk, but now it looks like metal cliché... I was looking forwarf to see them live and now I am feeling disappointment. Singer after show drops his guitar and jumps down to the crowd... To force Bali fans to move you have offer them something for free - stickers, flyers or everything else. Who will do this, crowd belongs him... and we

have nothing for free, he, he, he... RIPPER CLOWN - you can see what is popular in US. I found them as LINKIN PARK, two vocalists. One of them spreds the flyers in the crowd... winners. BORN BY MISTAKE (great nam by the way!) - another nu metal ride but rejected by fans totally. We can't believe that... Now moderator girl announces and introduces Zbyna, Rob and Vlakin of INGROWING, Czech republic (see billboard as they mismatched the name of our country... It's Czech, Yonas, Czech!) Music grinds and fans are just looking at them and sometimes applauding. It seems they came for classic orchestra listening to. INGROWING are one of the first grind core bands coming here - scene here is not so much extreme... People watching from distance, Vlakin speaks to them something like we-are-humans-not-monsters-no-harm-will-be-done... With no

INFECTIOUS ARTERIES

PARAU

reply... Shame... Bangkok fans would get mad of this sonic charge. Merchandise... very same situation. They are not interested. Prices are lowest as we can do, and still no result. They don't know how to support a band. To buy CD, T-shirt or something. But they rather buy cigarettes and almost 95% of adult population smokes... Show is over, taking pictures with promoteurs and then off we go. Tomorrow we are going to visit traditional Bali village and to buy presents again...

Rudy is here again to pick us up to visit some interesting places close to Denpasar. Ubud, village of traditional dancers and craftsmen. Slowly we reach this place but firstly we go to the mall... Ufff, you have to demand discout for everything you wanna buy. National sport here and I bet seller always wins. He needs to feed his children for sure... We buy sarongs, masks, T-shirts, enjoying coffee and excellent salak... it tastes such as gooseberries and pineapple together, delicious. We reach Ubud, sightseeing and stopping at the entrace to Monkey Forest... another nice place to visit. Me and Vlakin go inside, Rob and Zbyna decided to stay here. We buy some titbits form monkeys for 20,000 rupees. Rudy shooking his head - he need 4,000 rupees usually and he can't understand. We are walking into the shadow of the jungle and first

At mall

Nice apes

monkeys are coming to us. Crownd of tourists here and monkeys are used to "say" what they want to eat, with no hestitation. We stare at all this monkey business wondering to meet Roman Holy (performer of popular band in Czech, MONKEY BUSINESS) demanding his banana... Probably he manages everything from Czech republic... No sign of his presence here. Hundreds of monkeys here, horseplaying... but here is nice freshy cold air so unnormal for Asean climate. Getting back to visit some palaces which can't be compared to Thailand ones. No demons - some strange creatures only. Day is almost over, traffic in collapse, it doesn't really matter at all - internet, packing our stuff... Bali's not bad... but we spent here long time here and I am stressed a bit... Everybody smokes tobacco or marijuana, drinking arak... Zbyna finds his own Eden here... wondering to move out here. from the internet we realized that Mieszko of NASUM was found dead in tsunami catastrophy. We are sad... such end of one great musician... rest in peace, bro! I want go home right now. We go to the bus station... prices are great - $8 for 1st class, $6 for 2nd and $4 for 3rd for 800km (about 500 miles) long drive. We paid $8 to have comfy way. Laying on my seat, listening to Czech music... great chill out. Zbyna loves arak, so Yonas and Rudy take 1.5 litres (more than 3 pints) of that to have good time on the road. Then one puke dance and it's over... 10 hours of bumpy roads... Ferry. Mass of annoying sellers. Pause for food. At 5 a.m. we are in Malang, the second biggest city on Eastern Java.

19.2.2005 - MALANG - club Swing Cafe - EXTREME DECAY, STUPID RASCAL, SILENCE IS BROKEN, RESIDIVIS, SYSTEM ERROR, PRIMITIVE CHIMPANZEE, ANTHIPHATY, SCREAMING FACTOR, SEKARAT, PERISH, KERAMAT - 400 people (Indonesia)

Afril of EXTREME DECAY greets us and more guys of Malang scene. We have to wait for half an hour till hotel opens. We look at the display poster of today's gig... Great, brutal bands only... Hotel is excellent, including European style of toilet. I appreciate it a lot due to some intestinal complications evoked by eating almost full lory of salak... Shower, bed... Wow. We slept till 10 a.m. and Afril is back bringing food . He described us the road to the club... Me and Vlakin do to the club by feet (including some detours) and all hail us. I am going to internet cafe the getting back. I realize show is open and I missed some bands. So shortly... EXTREME DECAY (grind, I will see them tomorrow in Surabaya), STUPID RASCAL (grind in Scum epoch vein), SILENCE IS BROKEN (evil HC such as CALIBAN) and RESIDIVIS (old school grind core) I missed. Now I

PRIMITIVE CHIMPANZEE - back to trees climbing:)

ORGASMATRON

can watch PRIMITIVE CHIMPANZEE - excellent thrash core punk. Good! Fans get frenzy. Stagediving. Chimpanzees are pretty funny, wearing masks and costumes, guitarist put on clothes of monkey bride. Zbyna loves that so he started headbanging to make it exotic in Czech way. We have to go back to hotel for our stuff so I missed ANTIPATHY (WOLFPACK style as Vlakin referred). Crowd is almost boiling hot and I wonder what it will look like in time of INGROWING show... Next SCREAMING FACTOR - great HC with bombastic acceptance of audience. Crowd is tired and now fans are sitting on the sand (there's no floor)... SYSTEM ERROR - extra class of old school grind core... SEKARAT - brutal death metal ride in Florida, US, style like old MALEVOLENT... Next a copy of IMPALED NAZARENE - PERISH, singer is drunken but I can hear "immitation" of Mr. Luttinen. The KERAMAT - brutal death

in SUFFOCATION style, DEEDS OF FLESH or DYING FETUS... slaughter as hell. It is 6 p.m. and band stops playing... 15 minutes of silence... I go to the stage to ask what is going on - time for prayer they told me... At 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. life stops in this islamic coutry. After this break KERAMAT plays three more songs and the time of INGROWING's has come. We are affraid of audience, last four bands is was so peaceful... We are wrong. First tune and explosion!!! Madness!!! Almost 40 people climbed up the stage! Great atmosphere! Quite different in comparison with the show at Bali. Vlakin thanks to headbangers almost looses his teeth. Security has hard time. Crowd is roaring. INGROWING pumps all the grind to the audience... Sound is not so good but f**k that up. Vlakin stagedives and crowd is frenzy... Good work, oldster!!! TERRORIZER cover multiplies this hell on Earth... I don't know what to write. These fans know how to enjoy this music. More songs and more applause. We survived... last song... cover of NAPALM DEATH, hall is trembling very close to collapse. It was one of the greatest gigs ever of this tour. All Malang scene bands play great music and what about the fans? In one word. Superb. Real extra class. We atke a rest on our hotel room. Time for football. Liverpool defeated, we are sad. Party. 10 or 15 men come and Vlakin chats with them about beer, music and so on... Young guys of INGROWING are so tires to have party tonight...

SEKARAT

Wow, that grinds - Rob

Mr. Vlakin and party with Malang scene patriots

20.2.2005 SURABAYA - club Gedung Balai Pemuda, PULVERIZER, MESMERIC, BRUTAL TORTURE, KILL HARMONIC, DEVADATA, BLINGSATAN, EXTREME DECAY - 1.500 heads (Indonesia)

Last night was finished in great style, till 1 a.m. I wrote reports... the 40 minutes I walked through Malang. Then I got back to hotel room. Air-condition was out of order. Nothing is more simple than give a hand with maintenance or repair for Czech dude. I saw in the corridor some switch turned off... Click... And whole hotel sinks into the darkness. I get back silently to my room doing as nothing happened. Morning everything works... no harm done. At 10 a.m. Afril has to come. But Indonesian time is inflatable... At noon we go to the bus station to get to Surabaya. Driver still uses the horn for no reason. Maniac. Surabaya - almost 3.5 millions inhabitants live here... Now we are in the middle of all attention. It is very rare to see European guys with luggage as we have. We stuffed ourselves into three cars... wide boulevards and so on. Sharon drives us to restaurant. What a surprise! "Welcome, Czech band INGROWING here!" is written on the large board. Personal greeting from owner and the staff... Together with dudes of EXTREME DECAY we have dinner listening to local guitar band. Food, juices, beer are excellent!!! After dinner we have been photographed and put our signatures on the board of fame. Wow!!! Then we are driving to gig place... Shock!!! 1,500 heads! Sold out! NOw plays DEVADATA so we missed PULVERIZER (death metal), MESMERIC (black metal),

Vlakin says - this tourbus is double OK.

Together with EXTREME DECAY

BRUTAL TORTURE (death metal), KILL HARMONIC (grind core)... all these bands are local, only EXTREME DECAY are from Malang. DEVADATA plays thrash core and fans are really furious!!! Next are BLONGSATAN - alternative rock. Outdoors is nice billboard and more people coming. EXTREME DECAY prepares its show so finally I have an ocassion to see them live... Pretty mixture of grind core and HC... juicy hors-d'oeuvre of INGROWING. Great show makes fans more and more active and hungry for extremities. Helldancers in front of the stage are maddening. Air is hot terribly. INGROWING are coming on the stage and crowd welcome its heroes with stormy applaus. I have very cold spine from that. There are pictures of INGROWING projected on the screen behind Zbyna's drumkit. Wow! it is excellent! Vlakin hits the strings and all fans are compressed in the hall... Hell!!! Headbanging 5 or 8 lines of the fans started immediately...

boiling hot. Each pause is filled with screams, applause and roar for more. Stagediving and so on. I have seen not the atmosphere like this pretty long time. Vlakin speaks to me from the stage in Czech language "Hey you bull, it is very same when ARAKAIN played in 1989!!!" Rob is indisposed a little bit after 4 days lasting stomach problems, but he fuck that up and performs the choicest cuts. Zbyna is crazy, heat should kill him... but he drives INGROWING faster than light. Great, you rule, dude!!! Two guys fan him with wet t-shirts but with no general success. After show he told me that he could see the sparks in his eyes. Almost 40°C (104°F) and even more, no fresh air. I feel myself in a trance... 701 fans climbed up the stage... Stagedivers... Headbanging at 110% of power - real cremation by INGROWING. When I saw dude stagediving with crutches I am not surprised anymore. After fourth turn he kisses Rob and Vlakin and leaves the stage in ballistic trajectory. INGROWING dudes are extremely depleted and exhausted, rivers of sweat are running down from their bodies - our brave trinity. Last song and 100 people come up to stage to have some trophy of INGROWING. - Rob's towel or cap, Zbyna's sticks or Vlakin's pick. Then security leads INGROWING to the back stage. Tired we are moving to the hotel to have rest with dudes of EXTREME DECAY

Afril - EXTREME DECAY

INGROWING in Surabaya

and promoteurs. It is 8 p.m. only, the night is young. Rob, Sharon, me and one guy (sorry I didn't catch your name but thank you for everything!!!) are going to the city. Rob "repairs" his stomach thanks to European food and thanks to one promoteur/medic by massage and wizardry...From shopping centre I want to go to watch football match somewhere... Sharon leads us to five star hotel... We are introduced to head manager and some staff (Sharon didn't understand me what I wanted, but it was great either)... We are talking to one staff from Bali for a while and then we hit the road back to the hotel... Afril is here already and other maniacs of Malang too, so we have time to discuss...

21.2.2005 - YOGYAKARTA - INTO THE PIT festival, DIRTY MOUTH, HANDS UPON SALVATION, CRANIAL INCISORED, DOWN FOR LIFE, BLACK BOOTS, DEMONIC, SOMETHING WRONG, DEATH VOMIT - 400 heads (Indonesia)

At morning we wait for Bodas, our friend from Surabaya, who will lead us to Jodga, taking cabs to railway station. It is gonna be first experience with train here. We asking if we have business class... 300 km (186 miles) to Jodga we will travel almost 5 hours. It is strange. Small train arrives to platform... No place, no air-condition. I have to sit almost naked to survive extreme hot. Slowly we drive 50 or 60 km per hour (31 - 37 miles per hour) so we can watch Indonesian landscape with rice grouds. Time doesn't flow, sun takes brutal turn of speed, hot, hot, hot!!! I am looking at floor and I see a mouse travelling with us. Lady sitting behind us reads Javan Post newspaper and in Metropolitan appendix we can see picture of last INGROWING show. She notably winks at Rob, showing him the

Picture from the train

DIRTY MOUTH

notice in newspaper... We can see there's short report too. 6 hours full of suffer is over, Yogyakarta. Ojie waits for us, we go with tons of luggage to small push-carts called betsak for two persons each. I am dying of laughter as I recall Vlakin compressed in it overlayed with luggage. We choose perfect hotel (show is D.I.Y. so we pay ourselves for all)... But great!!! Because tour is pretty long so we exhausted a bit so it doesn't matter at all. We have food in superb restaurant, I tried oseng-oseng (great toufu, tempeh and vegetable) and INGROWING guys are full of rice already so they ordered something European. Me and Vlakin go to gig place at university campus and we bet how many heads will be here today. No matter... On Monday 400 heads here... Fine. First band DIRTY MOUTH, nothing remarkable... These dudes need rehearsals a lot. the second are HAND UPON SALVATION... quite different... screamy vocal, technical psycho charge. Next band and we try to take breath - CRANIAL INCISORED - jazz brutal, better than DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. Normally I am not used to listen music like that but this is really good. After gig the guitarist told me that his beloved band ios LYKATHEA AFLAME, wow. Fans are pretty good, supporting local bands. Stagediving in freaky way... DOWN FOR LIFE - metal core, fast, full of energy, probably known squad because 40 people started to headbang. Next are BLACK BOOTS - punk as fuck!!! Perfect old school ride forced us to headbang to. Then DEMONIC playing thrashing death metal... Very similar to TESTAMENT... Next are INGROWING. Atmosphere gets cold. I can't believe that. People sat down

and watching the stage like in theatre. Public rehearsal... INGROWING plays persuasive gig in same way as yesteday in Surabaya but fans are cold as snowmen. Vlakin's strin is broken so INGROWING are glad to stop playing. Show is over for them. It is th worst show of this tour and I can not believe that... thousand miles away from home we traveled to play for people like this... Then SOMETHING WRONG comes on the stage and everything is OK about fans. Stagediving again and so on. I am disappointed so much. This band plays pretty good old school HC a la AGNOSTIC FRONT... Showtime... DEATH VOMIT - star of Indonesian scene and legendary death metal band, excellently performed show. Drummer is a freak and I think he played with CRANIAL INCISORED too. Arrghh!!! Some photo session, we rejected t-shirts trades and then off we go to the hotel... We are sad - better to stay at home than to play show for fans like this... Advise for foreign bands - reject to play here, if not you'll be disappointed such as we are now. Such selfish scene I have never seen before, great bands here, but everything else... It sucks.

23.2.2005 BANDUNG - Laga pub & bar, SERINGAI, JASAD, RESTRAIN
- 400 people (Indonesia)

I slept couple of hours, breakfast, internet... It's raining in Bandung... No fucking spring shower but water ropes from the sky... Dadan comes to hotel and then we together go to have a lunch... Rain catches us on the way back... 15 minutes and streams and rivers on the street are running. There are floods nearby here as we could watch on TV. People wading, hips under water so we are afraid of number of heads on the upcoming gig. We are bad tempered a little, because of cold weather, rain... We go to the club. Nobody is here, we are getting nervous... We don't want another public rehearsal such as in Yodga... Eight o'clock of evening we do downstairs and people are there, wow, taking pictures and talking...First band, RESTRAIN, nice metal core... then JASAD - megabrutal massacre, real hell under the stage unleashed, vocalist Man really rules, sick guttural kicks our asses.

Empty club and we are getting nervous

JASAD!!!

JASAD are at home here, so fans get mad, stagediving with full throttle. Great show, JASAD is slaughtering bulldozer grinding it all. Mighty live band... we have lots of fun and crowd is unbelievable. Man smokes more than 5 cigarettes during the show - these freaks smoking either while sleeping. Showtime of JASAD and 30 heads are climbing up the stage to jump down to the crowd at once. JASAD gig ends up. Then next are SERINGAI, arse ripping thrashing HC typhoon, beating and canorous, and fans are singing together with frontman!!! It is quite different a bit but perfect, multifarious and fans know very well how to support bands... Great symbiosis of bands and listeners. Stagediving has no end... Sound, preamps - all of hi tech quality... And INGROWING comes to the stage. Audience explodes. I stay on the stage, camera in hands, taking pictures and watching an apocalypse below me. Dudes get good turns of speed running across the stage, then jump 2

metres high and down to the crowd. And three at once for fun... It looks like stageding world championship. INGRO guys look like they have fun a lot, such as me... Last unhappy show memory is forgotten... INGRO wins!!! In first row I can see members of JASAD and SERINGAI and I am glad to see them down there. Headbanging, stagediving all at the same time and this madness captures fans whole show of INGROWING. THey introduce three brand new songs and now I am sure that upcoming CD of these grindcore masticators will be extraordinary... Cover TERRORIZER releases an earthquake, everyone screams refrain Corporation Pull-In and I feel myself in ecstasy, goosebombs at spine and great experience... Sunrape finishes its work of doom, prefect and good time... Everybody takes pictures, chatting, interviews then back to the hotel, taking shower in take-bucket-in-hand-

SERINGAI

Vlakin and Rob

lather-rince-and-get-off style, packing our luggage, watching TV and at 5 a.m. we hit road to Tangerang... I would like to say thank you to all freaks from Bandung who supported us a lot, one of the best gigs of this tour and this recording is going to be used for sure!!!

Final feast

22.2.2005 - YOGYAKARTA, way to BANDUNG (Indonesia)

Today there's nothing special to write about. I am tired, I am cold of still attacking air-condition, my body hurts. I am really exhausted. I would like visit places like Borobudur (greatest buddhistic temple on Earth) or Prambanan (30 temples and shrines and palaces) or volcano Merapi (one hour of driving from here). But you have to hit the road about 8 a.m. and I went to sleep at 3 a.m., maybe next time. So I walk through the streets full of shops, restaurants and so on. Me and Ojie survived adrenaline drive by motorbike through the streets in there-is-not-so-much-space-to-drive-in-but-we-have-to-try style, sending the postcards, buying bus tickets and sending pictures for daily report. Vlakin and Rob are hanging around the shop with tie-dye suiting and it is really wonderful. All handmade and expensive. Weather is cold here in Jodga, veil of clouds in the

Exquisite meal

Departure to Bandung

sky, rainy, but it is not bad. But as we hit the road to bus station, pouring rain started. We are not so happy of that. Bus station is a hole in the middle of nowhere, where bus drive in and drive out only. Old bus and drive is long so much. 8 hours of bumpy roads, uncomfortable. Bandung. it is half past three morning. We have to wait till reception at hotel is open. But there were guys of JASAD waiting for us. We watch Real - Juve football match on TV. And then bad tempered we fell down to beds, grande Pavel played not so black and whites defeated.

24.2.2005 TANGERANG - GRINDENALINE fest - Gedung Kesenian Cikokol + PROLETAR +
EXTREME HATE + TERSANJUNG13, DISCLOSURE, AK47, CORRUPTSHIT, G.I.G., TUMOR GANAS, BOROX, DISAGREE, DECOMPOSED, INHUMANITY, TORMENTR, FILTHY LITTLE SECRET, ALLNATIONDEATH - 500 fans (Indonesia)

We reach Tangerang at 11.00 a.m. and although we are demanding to be accomodated, we are urged to follow promoteurs to visit festival area. It didn't matter to them we are on the way almost one month and few hours of slumber should be very useful. OK. We look at the festiival area, quite good one, sick toillets, but who cares? We wait again for a while then we go to one promoteur's home to rest for while, we thought but his parents are coming back from the work and relaxing's over. To pack everything again and then to go to the festival area. But there's not so much people, entrance fee is some about 50 cents... show of NECROMANCER is going on * amateur trying of death metal (more rehearsals, dudes!), people are sitting and watching only... and so we do and drink water (local substitution of beer). Next are ALLNATIONDEATH - hey what a fuck - that's grindcore at alst. But we

The best thing of Tangerang gig

In backstage before gig

are tired so much to do something else instead hanging aroud. Then DISCLOSURE - crust core such as everything else here. PROLETAR then, they play mince core a la AG or MALIGNANT TUMOUR and these guys organize this gig... I suppose they are known here, because fans are volunteered to live finally. Before INGROWING show band of TUMOR GANAS plays, crust again. I remebered they played one track of AG as I hope. There's no highlight this day. Then INGROWING... we suffered whole day... feedback is great but almost 100 people are stuffed right on the stage to be as close as possible. I can't undestand where is the place for INGROWING to play the show. Fans started to headbang and it is almost impossible to see sombeody of INGROWING through the fence of sweating human bodies... There's no security to drive them down and away from the stage. I am asking: "What do you think you are doing on the stage? You've to be down there,

haven't you?" ANd they are smililng at me: "Other people have to go away, not me, right?" Battle in my mind. Fuck that completely up. I am bad tempered... And I can see guys of INGROWING are sharing my feelings. Vlakin's been poured with water including his bass guitar and I am really full cup of it. Fans are freaking with no limits and rules. Ipuletar is really frightened and almost frozen... Gig is over finally, we are waiting again, for hotel. I am shocked. Now are you trying to reserve a hotel room? Bah! You know of us three months ago, so what are you fucking about? Two hours... OK. We are in the hotel (I cannot describe it, I want to die in peace). Now we are knocked out by message of money deal. We will not get whole money deal. Huh... We are pissed off. So me and Kia are getting back to festival area to meet promoteurs

Don't you know where stage is?

Fans in Tangerang

again and to say them all with no hesitation. You are just dreamers... this way you shown me - it is no way to organize a good festival. And desire is too weak to proof something reliable. They told me afternoon - that they want to invite MALIGNANT TUMOUR or GRIDE (both bands I salute and indeed I cannot recommend tois swamp of shits for playing a good gig) Ipuletar forgot to speak English in second, speaking with Kia only... Kia translates that few people had came, taht was a D.I.Y. show and blah, blah, blah... talking shits only with no sense.Couple of months ago I wrote to this guy I felt that 50 cents is absolutely ridiculous entrance fee for 15 bands... Everything was shocking, disturbing and unbelievable. Don't do,Ipuletar, everything like this in your future and you'll die as very old lucky man. To mention words of INGROWING dudes I reallt can not. Food we managed ourselves, we realize that Ipuletar didn't pay for festival area and gasoline... We stuff our mouths

with hated rice and then fall asleep. At night we are disturbed by fighting cats and rats. In accordance with sounds we heard from outside these rats were big as wargs of Lord of the Rings... Ufff, Rob is ordered to seal all holes i doors and windows... 4 a.m. - attack of muezzin again... We are iron men I think...

There's lots of people in Asia

And much more on the stage... that hat- that's Vlakin

Fans


INGROWING and Seni, miss Tangerang	Fuck that heat up

25.2.2005 TANGERANG - to JAKARTA (Indonesia)

We wake up earlier as usually. We wait for Ipuletar who promised to give us a hand to departure to Jakarta, but with no success... for one, two, three hours... fuck him up. I decided to walk around and I can't believe my eyes. Hotel is located in some industrial part of the town, full of mess and waste... we want to move out from here.. We ask Kia to call the cab to wait on the bus station. Local taxi drivers are masters of cheating. So we have to pay almost whole their week salary... On the bus station we meet dude who manages the transfer to Jakarta ($30! - it's crazy), in accordance with price of ticket from Bali to Malang (10 hours, 800km and $7, including ferry and meal), but we need to get out from here. Curse them!!! Lots of people coming to ask us from where we are, how we like Indonesia (not so much in fact - all great countries are elsewhere). We get out of the van in front of the hotel on

Robin, Kia and us at metal shop

Vitality's here, so we like it

Jaksa Street (tourist paradise), hotel reservation. Hotel - clean, but there's no good shower... We are out of mind and order... Shower and rest... That's all we need urgently. I feel fine at alst and don't wannna die, he, he, he. Robin comes (he was on gig in Bandung to freak out) and takes care of us here in Jakarta. Thank you dude!!! We had great lunch, coffee, to buy gifts... Evening we dedicate to visit the most known entertainment center (pubs, restaurants and all inhabitants of Jakarta mean it as a meeting poit). To reach this place: we couldn't find taxi so we take a bus. A great excursion to the minds and life of INdonesian people. mEngine makes noise in bad way, traffic stuck, driver turn the wheel to the pavement... During the drive whole band get in and play Indonesian hits. We gave them some money. Then some young boys try something similar... And are on the terminus of our drive... perfect, I feel

myself like in Europe. Zbyna is missing.. he decided to saty in the hotel to punish a bottle of arak... We all have different ways to forget Tangerang nightmare...

Local folklore

Party!!!

26.2.2005 JAKARTA (Indonesia)

Indonesia is similar to sinusoid - one day's perfect, next one horrible, third one great and fourth is a catastrophe... Good luck turns to bad luck with no caution. We decided to wake up at 8 a.m. to plunder local mall. At 9 a.m. Robin comes to lead us there. There's not so much European people so Indonesians are attracted by us. Then we have to say good bye to Kia, very emotional one. Thank you for everything and we hope to meet you again in summer on Obscene Extreme 2005!!! Packing luggage is a nightmare but we are brave. in 5 hours Robin comes together with some UG freaks to pick us up to the airport... This time we spent all in ours own way... Jakarta is quite different from Bangkok... No monuments or ancient buildings.. it is chaotic, modern city of Asean style. Rob and Zbyna decided to take last sunbath and	Jakarta
Jakarta	lay down to dirty turf, only one here around and Indonesian people have reason to smile and discuss. They offer them to take to a real beach nearby. Evening comes and Robin with friends leads us to the airport with short delay. Our flight is announced at three qurters past midnight so it doesn't matter. Weight of our luggage makes us afraid.. but we are checked in with no problem.
Last picture with Kia	Jakarta

27.2.2005 JAKARTA - KUWAIT - FRANKFURT AM MAIN - PRAGUE - Getting back home

We are boarding, shocked... Flight is full of islamic women, veiled... what a n uniformity... And we are pagan dogs... They hear command to board on... and almostmilitar batallion marches to the stairs... no pushing, complaining or talking... Like as scene of Orwell's novell. 9.5 hours of flight, eating, and then sleeping. We woke up one hour before landing in Kuwait. Then 3 hours of waiting to another plane to Frankfurt am Main. This flight is really crazy - just 5.5 hours, (simply leave Baghdad behind, turn right across Turkey and Bulgary to Germany) but board service is terrible. We had no problem with Kuwait Airlines before, but now we are thirsty and if we demand something, there's none to hear you, damn!!! We reach Frankfurt am Main amd freezing weather attacks us with full power... We have to wait here about ten	Jakarta airport - flight to Kuwait we wait for
Jakarta airport - flight to Kuwait we wait for	hours, so this part is really boring... And now our plane to Prague takes off with short delay, 40 minutes and we are landing in Prague... And here Eddie calls us who decided to absolve not this tour. Shame. We have unforgettable experiences... Great month and contact with Asean culture, what we really, really enjoyed.
Hit the sky to Prague!!!	At home!!! And real Eddie meets us!!
