Yet another video by one of my favorite youtuber’s; michael. This one is a slideshow of his backpacking (and climbing) adventure in Ladakh, India. India (as well as china, japan and the middle east) are major attractions for me on my up-and-coming RTW trip, so this video was very inspiring! Enjoy!

Another video by michaelewald1980 which is even more inspiring than the Cambodian one…When i go traveling, i have a particular interest in China and intend to spend as long as possible there (I heard there’s 90-day multiple entry visas?) so i particularly liked this video.

This guy is one of the first RTW bloggers i read. I don’t think it was really a blog - I think he typed up his journal when he got home and put it on the web. Anyway, he traveled around the world, starting in Japan (leaving from England) in 2004, i think, and this is his first video; of his Asian journey. I won’t spoil the story for those who want to read it, so here’s the link;
Setsubun is a Japanese seasonal festival/holiday that celebrates the start of spring. It is celebrated on either the 3rd of 4th of February, which is 1 day before the start of Spring according to the Japanese Lunar Calendar. Basically like a mish-mash of Halloween, new years and “groundhog day” (silly Americans..). Pretty interesting to hear about it!
