For those of you lazy bastards who can’t be bothered to read the blogposts, we’ve created a bullet-point version. And yeah, we’re planning a proper book, too 🙂

The Rally, day 24-28
The next day, we meet the famous Mr. Mousavi. It turns out that he really is a wizard, and he starts out by helping us to exchange some Dollars in to Rials. For this he recommends an office that is specialized in these matters, and we get ready to go there.
More images in the gallery
A lot of things happen during the Mongol Rally.
Check out our gallery, Facebook-, Twitter– and Instagram-account to keep up with the madness.
In the image above you see Team Running Salted Fish trying to fix their smashed back window with gaffa tape we donated.
Yak-party on July 11th
You should really make a note of the date Friday, July 11th.
Write it down in your calendar, will you?
Alrighty, then.
YiB World Domination Tour
Our planned route is long. Very long. And back again.
And although it seems that a couple of destinations have to be dropped (yes, I’m looking at you, Iraq), we’ll still get to see quite a few interesting places.
Check out the list, as it is now.
Visa-madness, Part II
The fun continues. What follows are examples of questions on some of the Visa-forms we had to fill out:
- «Full name of head.»
- «What is your Grandfather’s name?»
- «If retired, write ‘retried’.»
- «Who will pay for you?»
- «Have you been treated for any serious physical or mental disorder?»
- «Did you or do you have infections (contagious) of diseases harmful for the health surrounding society?»
- «Have you ever been a member of terrorist group, human trafficking, weapons and ammunition, illegal drug trafficking and their precursors?»
- «Are you allowed to return to your country of origin?»
And so on…

Driving for your life
Team Yak in Black had a bit of a spin with their new crap car (Sorry, Yaris Hilton).
This was to try out the car on a frozen lake, in case we ever encounter similar circumstances on our tour during the Mongol Rally this summer. No, really, it was mostly so we could do spins, brake spins and other stuff you’d be absolutely insane to do anywhere else! Shot entirely on Rambergsjøen on March 8th 2014 near Røros, Norway.
New image gallery
We have a whole bunch of images from our photoshoot at Storwartz today.
