yinmehyuga 04-11-2008 02:17 PM

kentucky, us

shinigami13 04-11-2008 02:17 PM

and how do you get to Japan?

yinmehyuga 04-11-2008 02:20 PM

buy foot and boat

godwine 04-11-2008 03:35 PM

By Foot - love to see that...

By Boat - There was another discussion concerning the feasibility of graveling to Japan by boat, I suppose one thing you can do is to stowaway on a carrier that is heading for Japan

Sponsor, whats there to sponsor? What do the sponsors get?

odonata 04-11-2008 04:05 PM

Dude, check out youtube as some guy has backpacked the length of Japan. If you are seriously going to get to JP without flying then good luck!
No seriously, Take a friend and video the whole trip, edit it and then try to sell the video to an agency. You will not do it the way you are saying unless you are already 1000 miles into the trip and get media interest and thus sponsorship offers. you must also have a good reason for your voyage and not just CUS I WANTED TOO!

There needs to be some thread of interest that captivates people. Again take a look at the youtube video of the dude who walked the length of JP.

Wow, very good advice Odonata, just as always. I really do admire the way how you actually take the time for each reply. Good work.

You are right in all aspect, I guess some of us were just turned off by his initial post of "I want to go someone pay me please".

Good job, i need to be more open minded too :)

odonata 04-11-2008 05:06 PM

soo have fun in Kentucky...

Hatredcopter 04-15-2008 08:49 AM

You do... realize.. how far it is from Kentucky to the west coast, right?

Why exactly do you want to go to Japan, and why do you want to.. walk there?

yinmehyuga 04-15-2008 10:23 PM

im taking the long way through eurasia

Hatredcopter 04-15-2008 10:32 PM

Alright, well now I'm having difficulty telling whether this thread is a joke or not. You still didn't answer why you wanted to go to Japan, or why you want to walk there. You do know it would take many, many months to walk across Eurasia? Not to mention having to traverse the mountain ranges in Central Asia and the other various not-so-friendly areas in between.

"how did he walk to japan?"
