It hit me when I realized I would need three different Lonely Planets to cover my whole trip: the distance I am about to travel is HUGE.
And so is the amount of planning ahead of me! I will need to arrange visas and transit visas for 10 different countries, buy a new backpack, book my train tickets… I’m still on schedule though. My new passport arrived today and I am working on a detailed itinerary for the first four weeks (from Brussels to Beijing). And… I’ve been studying Chinese for over a month now. Ni hao! Hai hao ma? Bu cuo, bu cuo. Zai jian!
