You may have read about my journey in the Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel) You may have seen the photos of the trip at http://www.fishdragon.com/
You may have even heard my interviews on BBC Radio Wales.
Well, this blog is the (almost) complete story. Please remember, however, that you need to read it backwards. So the next entry - Epilogue - is the final chapter. To read the whole blog, click on 'blog archive' in the right hand column and start with the last item on the list, called 'Time Waits for Nomad.'
This blog is now finished but there are two more projects in the pipeline; the film and the book of the journey. I am currently looking for a production company and a publisher. Please contact me by email (gary@fishdragon.com) if you would like to learn more.
I have also started a new blog about Taiwan... http://taiwandering.blogspot.com/
And if you want to see the trailer for the proposed film of Six Trains, go to YouTube and search for 'six trains two boats.' Or just follow this link... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5xQ-mJs88PA
Finally, one piece of advice if you are tempted to travel by train and boat.... do it!
Bon voyage!

Congratulations on making it. I'm going on a similar tour from Sydney to London so this was a great read.
I think you should amend your article though to point out that that ferry you took to Taiwan has been discontinued (from June 6th.) There is now no ferry from Japan to Taiwan.
Hiya, Gary:
Very well done. Enjoy your stay here in Taiwan. There are definitely places that you must visit, e.g. old British consulate buildings from the colonial period in Tamsui (my hometown, up north), in Kaohsiung (where I stay now, down south).
Enjoy Tin-Tai-Fong (or whatever the translation is), friends from Edinburgh enjoyed them very much. Do not forget to take pictures of how the miraculously tasteful din-sums are made!
Bonne chance.
