The worlds are every two years, so they will be in 2009. I heard that they are going ot be in China, but I'm not positive.
 
Ah man, I would love to go there, I hope it's in the middle of the holidays or something. If it's during University then it just isn't going to happen, I have to prioritise. Hong Kong would be manageable, but expensive. I wonder if Malcolm would come as well? We could clean up all the New Zealand records together :)

I would really like to know where it is going to be. I am going to make the biggest (road)trip in my life getting there and it would be nice if I knew where I am going :)

You're going to drive to China?

The planning is still really sketchy, but yes I am. So far the plans only involve taking 4-8 weeks "sabbatical" and driving there with Joël van Noort. If anyone wants to join us, please let us know as soon as possible

I jsut did a distance calculator, and it says that is 9348 kilometers(5808 miles)!

That is going to be one hell of a road trip. Be sure to take pictures!

I prefer adventurous, or free spirited if you don't mind. One of my favourite tv-shows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_Express

That was not a derogatory remark.You can consider that as a compilment. :)
 
Does that mean Joël and me should pick you up on our way there ;)

But seriously, why would this be crazy? I think it will be a lot of fun and something I will remember for the rest of my life.

About 15 years ago I walked from The Netherlands to Monaco (5 weeks, 40 km each day) and hitchhiked back (4 days) with only a well filled backpack and 1000 guilders (450 Euro / about 375 dollars then). I have done a lot of travelling and seen some amazing things since, but those 6 weeks were the most intense of my life.

The world is such a great thing to discover and travelling might just be the best way to discover it
