In three weeks he had traveled over 10,000 km. He stopped more than 100 cars, three times he slept using his bedroll, ten times he was invited by someone to stay overnight and eight times he used hotel accommodation – but never more expensive than 25 USD. Other expenses included about 400 USD for visa fees, 1000 USD for flight ticket Beijing – Prague and 1000 USD pocket money.
And guess what? He won the ‘bet’!
On Wednesday late night he arrived in Beijing, two days ahead of schedule. But surprisingly he didn’t attend the grand opening of the Beijing Olympic Games 2008. He was more interested in the Sunday soccer match of his favourite team back in Czech Republic.

Did he have a hotel arranged? I can imagine it’s hard to find accommodation in Beijing right now.
@Bas: I really don’t know. I haven’t seen him since he arrived back in Prague.
Such a nice trip! I think he had a lot of adventures, do you know some stories from him? Even if he couldn’t find any hotel in Beijing (and actually they are more than 25 $, even I didn’t saw many Prague hotel for such price), he can sleep in bedroll.
