I have another good book about travel which I brought out from the UK all those years ago - The Asiatics: A Novel by Frederic Prokosch

"I believe all of The Asiatics is accurate, geographically and socially speaking,'' he said after the novel's original publication

Jakartass,

You did 13 months of travel? Went to the Himalayas?

Wow.

Thank you for the book tip. Looks like it reconfirms our good friend Al's experience: traveling alone does make one more receptive.

We'll check the book out. Thank you again.

On my travels around the world - a journey of 13 months in 86/87 - I kept a diary. (Jakartass is, I suppose, a continuation.)

In Ladakh, up in the Himalayas of northern India, I picked up a copy of Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon (pub.1983), an account of his travels around the back roads of America and the people he met.

Post-divorce, he was in a reflective

Hendro, thank you.

Kamil, your trip sounds even tougher.
Sleeping in a tent / people's couches? Wow.

If you wrote about your experience anywhere, we'll be interested to read it.

Your trip reminds me of a trip I did last almost 2 years ago. Went alone with no phone, no camera, no electronic, just myself, a couple of clothes, and a tent (and some great people who were willing to let me sleep on their couches when possible!). Took the bus, took the train, had cheap dinners. And it lasted for 3 weeks too.

Except that I did this in Australia. And instead of work,

I love this:
"In your deathbed, you will never wish to have a little bit more time to use your cellphone or to check your email."

It is very relevant as I just had observations about the generation younger than mine and complaint it here:

When you said "After a while, the experience became increasingly similar from one city to the next, and the vanity started to wear off.", that reminded me of a wise man saying once:

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something

nCy . vLa, Or Nancy,

Thank you. You are very kind.

I am still not sure when or whether I will really start my blog. It's just a thought at this moment. Still not sure I have what it takes.

(But if I did start, this blog will help letting readers know.)

Thank you again.
