The After-Math of “The Journey” – World of Statistic <2009.12.8>

FIRST – thanks to all my loyal readers who followed my footprints along this long journey!
You may know more than me as I might have already forgotten what happened along this trip ;-)


This blog is for those who are interested in numbers – unfortunately not the Lotto numbers:

Duration & Distance

The trip took me 258 days (8,5 months or 6.192 hours or 371.520 minutes)

Through 7 different countries over 3 continents

I travelled 95.592 km (where 25.000km on the road in Australia alone) which is similar than 2,5 times around the world!


Weather

The highest temperature was 38 deg in March in Ayutthaya (Thailand)

The lowest was 2 deg in August in Oberon – Blue Mountains (Australia)

The average temperature over the entire time was 28 deg during the daytime!

It rained in average every 4th day of max 3hrs. It only rained 5% during the day.



Multimedia (my Favorite)

I made over 79.000 pictures which is one picture every 5 minutes! (No jokes on that ;-)

The “best of” is reduced down to 5.129 which is 20 pictures each day (Not so bad – isn`t it?!)

No Television for the entire time (Radio kills the Movie star !!!)

Newspaper only for lighting up the barbeque



Language Exchange

Studied and tried to communicate on 8 different languages

Japanese (eating), Thai (trained), Lao (surprisingly well), Vietnamese (nearly 0), Khmer (with hand and feet), English (for runaways), German (2 of us), Australian (no worries)

And for those who are NOT so interested in numbers – here an insight in the great world of Japanese English Translations – I love it!

The next longer journey is in front of us – so stay in touch – as we are flying out to the 5th continent on 10th of January 2010.
