Determination and Perseverance

I saw this man in Bugis last week. A lot of people crowded around him.
He put a lot of photos on the floor but its not for sale. However there is some money in his helmet. I was wondering what this man was doing.
Then my brother told me that he is a deaf and mute. What stunned me is that he traveled around the world in the motorcycle in the picture since May 2000. And he had arrived in Singapore in Apr 2008. I think the next stop that he will be going is Malaysia, Bangkok and rest of southeast Asia. He was quite friendly and we took a photo of him.
I have searched the web and found out his name. He is called Yarets Vladimir Alekseevich and I have found a website on him:

Its really amazing. Is it people, who are handicapped, will have more determination than normal people? Anyway he should have left Singapore by now :) Jia you wor...
