This blog is so my friends and family can track my journey from the west coast of Asia to the southern tip Africa. The idea behind this journey started in a bar in Shanghai last year. I knew I'd be finishing work soon and really didn't plan on going back to work on anything for sometime and I was talking things over with a friend of mine named Dwight when he suggested, "hey dude you know what you should do you should do is get a bike like mine and ride across China." Dwight has been living in Shanghai for years and has this really cool Chinese knockoff cicra 1940 BMW motorcycle with a sidecar. And I though you know that would be cool, so I set off on planning the journey. Somewhere along the process I got the idea that "you know what even be cooler" is to traverse the largest continuous land mass Asia/Europe east to west without flying...I then decided well since Africa is really so close why not include it too. When I explained the idea behind the trip to another friend of mine Zach, who'd grown up in Australia, he looked at me said, "oh dude, you're going do a walk about". Hence Scott's "Walk About '08" came to being. I hope for those of you who read my forth coming blogs you not bored but inspired to search for the edges.
