Whatever happened to those two German PhD Computer Science students that took part in the Mongol Rally 2007?! Just as a reminder, the Mongol Rally is a charity event where participants drive from London to Ulan Bator in Mongolia in a crap car without a GPS or a navigation system. Well...
They made it! And in one piece!
Late last year I visited with both Martin Saternus and Richard Süselbeck to find out how the Mongol Rally 2007 went. In this video, I chat with Richard about their experience during the trip, how much money they were able to donate to charities and of course their plans for the future.
Check out their blog for more highlights from the trip:
NOTE: Why is this video coming so late, you may ask? Well, some of you may remember that I had a small audio problem with some of my videos around the November and December timeframe. Ok, if you have watched some of my videos from Innovation Day in Brussels then you know that it was more than a small problem. Let’s just say that whole thing was a learning experience. Somebody changed the audio settings on the camera from auto to manual and I didn’t notice that the setting had been changed. I didn’t check it and just used the camera. Grrrrr. 
At any rate, I had to do some extra editing on many of my videos to make them more audible. This Mongol Rally video - as well as two others that I will be posting soon - turned out well, but it just took some extra time to get them edited. By the time I was done with the editing, it was CeBIT time and I had tons of videos to shoot, edit and upload there and for a couple of weeks after. These videos unfortunately got pushed to the back of the line. I debated whether or not I should still post them but decided even though they aren't that up-to-date anymore, they are still worth a view. For any of you that love a good travel story or wonder what it would be like to travel from London to Mongolia in a less than perfect car and under adventurous circumstances, check these videos out and consider signing yourself up for Mongol Rally 2008 or 2009!
