German national Christoph Rehage shaved his head in the fall of 2007, hiked from Beijing to Urumqi on foot (yes, all 4,500 km of it!), taking pictures of himself wherever he went, and this awesome video is what he ended up with. Especially appropriate is his use of the Chinese song, Olive Tree ?????with its haunting lyrics, “????????” (Don’t ask me where I’m from). We’re already looking forward to the next video of his walk from Urumqi back to Germany — if he ever gets down to it, that is. Check out the rest of his website The Longest Way.
