The second leg of the Kirkbys' 13,000-mile journey — from their home in British Columbia to India — begins in Busan, South Korea, and involves taking a bullet train, sailing the Yellow Sea and sprinting to Beijing. Moth larvae and bubbles add to the fun.

The journey starts in Beijing dining on Peking duck and walking the Great Wall; Tibetan permits and Taj's health are up in the air.

A 27-hour train ride; Mt. Everest and meditation; race to the Tibetan border before Visas expire.
