21 year old rides unicycle 5000km across China! | Unicycling Across China [FINALE]

I've just left Kung Ming. I decided, I thought the main road might be a good way to get out quickly. No. No, no, no. It's so busy. I wasn't really expecting that. I know I probably should have done the city of like 10 million people, but whatever. Okay, I need to get off this road. Stupid. Stupid boy. Ever wanted to see a white square? Well, there's tourist spots for you! Yeah, I'm super, super dirty. Yeah, yeah, pretty ******* dirty, eh? I look like a bit of a vagrant. Wave hi to the camera. I'm just seeing my first sight of Vietnam. Vietnam, baby! Somewhere with a good view to camp. This is ideal. This is not going to be fun to get back up in the morning. That direction is Vietnam. Morning! Very exciting day today. Number one, it's Chinese New Year. I think, yeah, 28th of January. Last night the sky just lit up. I'm not even by any kind of town or city, but there seems to be people out here in the villages just shed loads of fireworks. So that's pretty cool. Number two, that way, 45 miles in that direction, is Vietnam! You see these plants behind me with the big leaves? They're banana plants! I've never seen a banana plant before! They're really small, actually, these ones. I think these are like the Chinese type, they're really quite small. That's not a euphemism, that is something the Chinese have, like a smaller... I'll just stop talking now. Those people over there, I don't know if you can see them, with the horses, they're Vietnamese people! That's amazing! Those kids over there. Always exciting when you're crossing into new countries. But this one especially. I've been in China for five and a half, six months, crossing it by unicycle. Let's just go, let's just go, we need to do this. This is Ping Cha. Ping Cha. He's going to join me to the Vietnam border. I quite like the parallel of this. When I first entered China, I met a chap called Jack. This is Jack, he's going to ride with me for a bit, I just met him. And he joined me for about, must have been about 20 miles. My first 20 miles into China. And this chap is going to join me for the last 20 miles. So there we are. It's good to have some company. He just told me these are cockerel balls. They're very nice. Balls of a cockerel. Tastes like chicken. I guess that's where my Chinese adventure ends. With a bowl of chicken's testicles. Thank you. I'll see you. So that's it. My trip riding a unicycle across the world's most populated country is at an end. And what an amazing experience it was. Would I recommend doing it yourself? I think the answer to that mainly depends on how blistered you prefer your bottom to be. But if you do choose this challenge, or something like it, you'll be sure to meet many people along the road offering you heaps of support. And while your story may not literally contain the Cape protagonist as mine has, it will certainly include many, many local heroes who will, without hesitation, provide you with food on the road, delicious meals, and a warm place to rest. And even if, like me, you don't speak much of their language, don't worry. Because you will find different, creative ways to communicate. And while this will be frustrating at times, always remember that miscommunications can be funny. So laugh. As you continue completing one pedal rotation after the next, you'll soon find yourself in an incredibly vast, slow-changing landscape. Morphing from desert plains, to mountain passes, to bamboo forests, and almost everything else in between. But be prepared, and be sure to pack a raincoat. Out there, unshielded from the thunderous wind and icy rain, whilst, yes, this weather can be beautiful, will also think nothing of beating you down, hindering your progress, and killing your motivation to remount and continue. But you must continue, because eventually the wind will die down, and the sun will come out, and you'll be reminded as to why you started this trip in the first place. So pack up your bike, be it one wheel or two, and head off to remote places unknown. I did. And it was, quite literally, super. My name's Ed Pratt, and I just unicycled across China.
