My world walk blog/ China Part 2/ blog #42
Sorry for falling behind in this blog. I
delayed because I missed three or four days walking through Hong Kong
and then the first week walking in mainland China. Part of the delay for
getting these updates up was because I had hoped to write up the
missing ones first but I never did. It's a bit hard to motivate myself
to write old stuff. I have the notes so hopefully some day I will!
My world walk blog/ China Part 2/ blog #42
I reached the town of Jilong and achieved another important requirement for the World Runners Association.
The
WRA who provide the most credible rules and guidelines for a
circumnavigation of the world. They stipulate that the minimum distance
for a world walk or a world run be 26,232 kilometres. What this actually
means is that had I not chosen a long route that I would have been at
Dublin's suburbs right now 
Then
I walked on and due to my late start and many stops I had only amassed
only 27 kilometres by dusk. Stopping at a restaurant which I figured
might have accommodation attached I went in for a refreshment. No sooner
had I sat down when the friendly owners invited me over to have a meal
with them. I had a nice Google Translate chat with the people and one of
the men took a keen interest in my walk for he translated my cancer
awareness world walk message card with his translate app.
I was told there was a basic room upstairs and after I paid the lowest rate so far, (€2.50/about $3) they insisted upon refunding me and strongly refused my dinner payment. Such lovely people. Thank you all so much.
