By Normand Pion and Hélène Giguère
At once similar and very different, countries as remote as they are mysterious, with cultures dating back thousands of years, seeming from afar to be quite hermetic to the Western cyclo-traveller;
Taiwan: a humid, torrid, mountainous island, where the ground sometimes slips away! Japan: the Kyūshū, Shikoku and Hokkaido Islands, combining urbanity, cultivated countryside, deep forests and snow-capped mountains. We'll tell you all about our cycling lifestyle and our discoveries of these 3 Far Eastern countries.
