The way ahead was just too scary.

Then I went to yet another food place…
…and had some rice noodles:
Took pictures with little kids:
…and more little kids:
One of them was going to clean up in the restaurant:

It’s amazing, that the patting of a melon can distract a child from pain.

Wow, you are walking again, making your dream a little bit more true. That’s great, but it leaves your followers with the question: “Do you plan to walk the rest of your way home now?”, “Will there be a “The longest way 2” book?
Maybe a short update of “The plan” will help to avoid a lot more questions of this kind.
Nice to see that the website is working again.
Benjamin
Havn’t read something from you for a long time. Everything fine? Are you still walking?
Ivy
Hi Chris, How about you these days??? Is everything ok? Waiting for you news. Best wishes.

Hi Chris,
Good to hear that you’re on the road again. I just happened to read an article about two German guys who did exactly what you are doing now – throughout Germany in the 1930’s with a gigantic football instead of throughout China with your caboose.
Maybe that’s material to be enjoyed on your next rest day:

Enjoy! 🙂
