Thats Crazy.

Meowjin 05-10-2009 03:02 PM

that's insane. And he still has half a trip to go.

I don't think I could "Waste" (not the right word) 2 years walking though.

Shun Izaki 05-10-2009 03:27 PM

That's crazy, but yeah. I'm chalking that one up to no life.

He looked like Christian Bale in some of them when he first started that small beard.

i bet his mandarin is better then mine

So to my understanding, he visited Germany and flew back a few times, but didn't record the kilometers? I saw Munich once and it seemed like the counter was still moving.

Hmm.. someone taking up an adventure of a lifetime.. versus what most people do with their time (working at some lame job for decades.. watching stupid hockey games.. get fat)

:D

what you would experiancing walking the country is a million times over what most people who even live in china will probably ever experiance

I think he had to take breaks, and go back to work or something, then flies back to where he left off to continue the journey.

doing these kinds of things seems pretty cool. if somebody asked you "what did you do that was so special in life?" this guy can say he walked across china

Any idea what the music track is?

PiuYi 05-10-2009 10:42 PM

The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.

I like how he got the people in the back to pose all funny. one of the girl was pretty cute at 2:33!

k20a 05-10-2009 11:52 PM

i was going to say the opposite... it's not as epic as something like climbing everest, but to be able to achieve and enjoy a goal in life while u still can (instead of being stuck as an office drone worrying about paying the bills and the stupid canucks like i am... sigh) i say :thumbsup:

Totally agree. He did something that out of the ordinary unlike the majority of the people who is stagnant in life doing the same shit over and over again;
:thumbsup:

Nightwalker 05-11-2009 03:45 PM
