1
Alaska and Russia

2
Japan and Korea
This episode focuses on his time in Japan including visiting the Kodo Drummers, and Korea including the border area with North Korea. This episode seemed much more touristy than other series. Not so much adventure, more just travelling.
3

4
Vietnam and the Philippines
Hanoi, Da Nang, Hue, the Mekong Delta, Saigon and then on to the Philippines including Manila, Zamboanga and faith healers.

There is a bit of a gap (explained in the interview contained in the extras) as this episode starts in Darwin and then on to Katherine, Alice Springs, Adelaide, Sydney and then on to New Zealand.
7
Chile and Bolivia
The next episode picks up in South America at Cape Horn and then as he travels up the coast of Chile, visits some islands off the coast and on into the Atacama Desert and by a very interesting train to Bolivia.
8
Bolivia and Peru
Now he visits Lake Titicaca and then into Peru, visiting Cuzco and Machu Picchu and then into the jungle for a multi-day canoe journey. This is an excellent part of the journey with more adventure and interesting locations.
9

Journeys on into the Amazon Basin, and then grabs a plane and boat into Colombia before arriving in Bogota and taking a first hand look at the drug issues. Another very good episode.
