Why not explore this entire continent? Can it (at least my orientation to it) be done in one go?

Introduction:
China and Russia will each take at least a full Earth-year, to start; they are truly vast lands, each comparable to Australia or the U.S.A. I’ll meander my way through all the other nations of their continent, spending only a week or two… to a full month or two… in those. Orienting to the remainder of Asia that way is projected to take a few years, at the least.
In Phase 1, I made it to Japan. Technically, that is just a big island-chain; it isn’t part of the Asian mainland. Still, I counted it as the first stepping-stone farther inland. I knew I’d landed out there for a reason; the land itself, I now realize and see, was getting used to me, just like I to it.
I was invited during Phase 2 of this life to Asia-proper; there was an expo about to be hosted in one of China’s biggest cities, and they wanted me to come. I’m sure those will be one of the focal points of my destined trips, many about 3D-printing, just as had been the first (invitation, un-actualized). I can only dream of what agreeable wonders are now lining up to be part of the many (perhaps countless?) trips and shorter visits here to come.
Don’t forget India. Though considered a sub-continent, it has been merged with Asia for a very long time. I’ll spend a year orienting to it, just as I plan to in China and Russia, and will surely return –to reconnect (pun not intended) with the great river-nymphs (Asparas) and Nagas still living there, often in partnership with them (helping to rebuild or re-manifest) their once-and-future palaces and kingdoms –both above and below the surface realm.
*And, yes, I am aware this webpage/expedition has “32” in its title… while there are 33 nations listed below. Japan can be a separate return-expedition, as it is far away from the side of this continent; it is a Pacific island, one might say. However, with China, India, and Russia all being so big that I might just devote an entire year or more to each, making each its own mega-expedition, perhaps I should retitle this webpage the “Asia 29”, as I’ll probably just try to see the 29 smaller nations in one go, not even approaching the borders of those “big 3”.
