Suggested Reading
“The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia” by Paul Theroux, 1977, published by Penguin USA.  In this unique and hugely entertaining railway odyssey, well known author Paul Theroux vividly recounts his travels--and the people, places, landscapes and cultural differences he encountered—-as he traveled on the great railways of Asia:  the Orient Express, the Khyber Mail, and the Trans-Siberian Express.  He shares observations of his fellow passengers, along with the scenes viewed through his train window, as he journeys through such countries as Turkey, Iran, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, and the Soviet Union.
Just For Fun
Some humor related to finding great travel deals on the Internet:
   Wife to husband:
   “If YOU want to fly coast to coast for that on-line fare of 75 cents,
    that’s fine.  But I’d feel a little safer paying regular price!”

   On-line Advertisement:
   “Our great new travel get-away package is only $19.95 per person.
    For that price, we’ll take your passport picture and e-mail it around
    the world, delivering it to eight different countries of your choice.”

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry,
but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die,
it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other,
we may even become friends.”
