One year walk/beard grow time lapse
Additional info:
- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.
- All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.
- I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.
- Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.
- 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.
- This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.
- The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.

E Minor - Other lives
I forgot something of younger days when there were no cares
Clouds appear lit that made me ask how their lives could have been spent
Carelessly wasting our days
Inquires of what is the way
With no reply
When you were young there's a lightness around you, the world turns
But when you take back all the things that you've earned you find nothing at all
Carelessly wasting our days
Inquires of what is the way
With no reply
Where did it go now
All that you thought was worth a fight
It's all but become just
A passing thought in spite
Don't let it go now
Our lives could be much more than this
Let go and find it
