Thinking is the best way to travel (26/02/21 20:19:47)
That's IIRC the title of a song by Moody Blues. These days it may be the only possible way. Some years ago The Wife and I were going to our Cabin_by_the_sea, but one of the kids had already borrowed the car, so we had to take the bus. So I went to the kiosk at the bus station and bought Sovjetistan by Erika Fatland. (for translations: Look up Sovietistan or Sowjetistan). She had been travelling in all the Southern former Soviet republics. I found it fascinating, and I know I'm not the only one.This year's new book is called Høyt (High) and is about her travels in Himalaya. To me it is interesting to see all those different ancient patriarchal societies through the eyes of someone with a background more similar to mine. Specially interesting is the fact that se, being a woman, had access to places and persons that are out of bounds to a man.
