Go to Google Maps, get directions for "Japan to China" and check out instruction 43

That's hilarious. Must have been some Google programmer having a bit of fun - because you don't get similar results for any other treks requiring crossing major bodies of water (it's just says it can't calculate the directions) - I tried quite a few.

I tried too, but failed

However someone else found Japan to United States (instruction 27)

Funny that they went via Hawaii and then to Washington State instead of a shorter route. Must have good arms for that trip.

BTW, Neil, did you know you can walk from London to Paris in 2 days and 7 hours?

I remember a while back someone finding a similar trip from the US to Europe that had "swim across the ocean".

Found it, but doesn't work anymore. :-(

I suppose the Jet Ski "could" be optional if you were up to the swim? This is almost like the stock answer for how to get to Carnegie Hall!
