I've Been Told To Take A Long Walk In China

Someone calling him/herself Dynamo Hum Tweeted or Twittered me, or whatever you call it, with the suggestion that I take a long walk across China, like the guy in the above video did. The guy walking is a 27 year old German from Hanover named Christoph Rehage. He was a China Studies major in college, which may explain why he started his walk in Beijing. His goal was to walk all the way back to Germany, passing through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Armenia, Turkey and then a couple Slavic countries before getting back to Deutschland.

Sadly, real life intervened with personal issues bringing Christoph back to Germany before he was done walking. He is now back going to school to finish his degree and made the video you see above. It starts off a bit slow. Stay with it til it speeds up. You'll be glad you did. For the best viewing, click the full screen option. It's to the left of the word VIMEO on the lower right.
