Enjoying life in Hong Kong 4

This entry was posted in Walking the Great Wall on by

I woke up two days ago thinking: The problem of getting a visa for only one month (plus possibly two more) is a lot less than walking about 2.500 kilometres alone along the Great Wall during the winter. So I’ll just figure it out somehow, and keep on walking.

While staying in Hong Kong I have met some very nice people at the place I am staying and have been to several of the enormous shopping centres here and bought a little bit of equipment. It is very cold for the season here now, so I plan to do the sight seeing next time around.

For Norwegian readers: There will be an interview about the walk in AFTENPOSTEN on Saturday.

About Stephen Robert Loken

Stephen Robert Loken walked the entire Ming Dynasty Great Wall of China, covering about 6,000 km in 601 days from Jiayuguan in Gansu to the Hushan Great Wall at Dandong, Liaoning, on the North Korean border. He left Jiayuguan in April 2009 and finished in December 2010, walking alone apart from seven weeks with his brother Jon. Born in England to an English mother and a Norwegian father, he lives in Norway. He has also kayaked the entire length of Norway, from Lindesnes to Nordkapp, and walked the length of Great Britain, from Land's End to John o' Groats. These posts are his daily notes written along the Wall.

    I read the interview in Atenposten on Saturday.
    It is nice to read about this in the newspaper as well.
