		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently buried in writing a book about travel writing in the digital age.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my many vivid negative memories of India is arriving in Bombay after a 36-hour train ride that was supposed to be 24 hours, only to get in a huge blow-up argument with a taxi driver who tried to charge us double the correct fare for a ride in his beat-up jalopy.

I won&#8217;t steal their thunder by posting them all here, but I agree with some more than others. I lived in a suburb of Seoul for a year and while I&#8217;ll agree that there&#8217;s not much soul in Seoul, it does [...]
