a little self promo never hurt?

Excellent skills and well worth five minutes of my life. He should tighten up the bookends and give larger hints about his personal transformation.

Pretty cool, pretty cool.
Must be nice to just stop everything and do something like this.
Looks like he had a great time though.. something he'll always remember.

He left as a boy and came back as a man. Awesome idea and clip. My plans on globe trotting have hit a snag. I'm hoping that after graduating and a stint in the Armed Forces I'll grab a steady friend/adventurer to join me on a trip around the globe. :)

Trite? Lacking in freshness? A man walked across friggin CHINA! What have YOU done today? This YEAR?

I think the following "pic a day" vid pretty much says it all...

As for what I've done this year? I started a high tech manufacturing company in the US where all of our competitors are based in China since they've been outsourced over the past twenty years. Creating local jobs, products and services is a bit more complex (and less self serving) than just walking around.

Nothing against the guy. Young people should go out and see the world before committing to a career... although there's lots of ways to "find yourself" without going through a rite of passage of this magnitude. Anyway, I've just seen this meme so many times that it doesn't impress me anymore. *Yawn*

It makes me wish I wasn't a fat lazy nerd.

Davel, you are a self aggrandizing, sarcastic wanker. Who gives a toss about your "high tech manufacturing company"? I notice you don't specify what 'high tech' thing you manufacture. If you're too ashamed to give what you make a name, then it sounds like bullshit to me. What Rehage did is inspiring on a level that your petty reductive worldview cannot comprehend. How patronizing of you to suggest that 'young people' should 'find themselves' before committing to a career. How original are you man? Oh goody, now I've got that young people thing out of my system, I can get a career! It's pricks like you give us old folks a bad name. But who knows, when the arse falls out of the vacuum cleaner fan belt market - or whatever the high tech crap it is you manufacture - maybe you will have time to stop & consider other people's contribution rather than pissing on their achievements. In the meantime, allez te faire foutre connard.
