Ya, they can really be a pain in the a$$. I love being in new places, but I hate the planning and bureaucracy involved in getting there. There are lots of places where it's easy enough to just pop in for a visit, but Russia and China aren't those places.
I think you should make a blog (like a normal blog, not a thread here). Then, when you have updates you can post here the link to the blog in this thread.
You might find a much broader readership in your adventure than just us paper jockeys.
Well I F*cking give up. Spilled a tiny bit of water on my laptop as I was running out the door to print my visa applications. The laptop is dedestroyed. I dnot have enough time to have them processed. I just give up. Sitting here crying like a loser. I quit.
The goal is to keep it under 5k. Probably 3 weeks to a month total, hard to say. May call it quits once I get to Minsk, depends how I'm feeling.
Already spent about 2k (1.25k for the train/hostel accommodation, 750 for the flights to beijing) Going to spend another 500 just on stupid visas to get into the countries. Then I'll need a flight home eventually from somewhere haha.
That's not including Ireland/UK, Western Europe, and Scandinavia though.

Sorry peeps, haven't slept in around 48 hours, you just witnessed my sleep deprived breakdown.
Anyway, time for round 2. Calling Beijing and getting my F*cking visas.
No I'm tired of fighting.

We could switch places since I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona lols It's hardly in the 70's unless it's mid-Autumn. I'm originally from California though.
I'm going to Chernobyl/Kiev (Ukraine), the breakaway Republic of Transnistria (real place!), Albania, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Kosovo.
I hope that you are not going in the town of Chernobyl.
If I were you, and money wasn't the determining factor, I'd take a more central European route: Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece. Or Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria/Macedonia and Greece. But that would probably be a little more expensive trip and I don't know about visas.
The route you have chosen is cheaper. If you want to stick with the current plan, that's ok, you will have a good time anyway. Adventure. But if possible, instead of Kosovo and Albania, go to Serbia, Croatia, Greece.
What about this?
Chernobyl. It's safe.
