pickParks spent the entire book comparing the ups and downs of train travel to meditation. And, it worked. I wouldn't mind reading my book on a train and observing people, humanity at its worst (hustling/body odors) and its best (sharing food and stories).

I don't believe I just learned it, but it had reopened my eyes.
'Stand By Me' is the only song with its own fan club. It's true. There's a whole group of people who scour the world for different versions of the song and have meetings where they play newly discovered versions, discuss the lyrics and drink a toast to Ben E. King.

How do you know when there's a bodhran player at your front door?
The knocking gets faster and faster.
And there's a woman climbing over chairs, taking pictures of every conceivable object at every conceivable angle...so she's obviously American.
He's upset a few along the way too, as does anyone willing to put their head above the fray.
Once I started seeing all those deathtraps out there, I couldn't shake my curiosity. I wanted to jump on and circumnavigate the planet on that unseen artery of mass transit. I wanted to know what it was like on the ferries that killed people daily, the buses that plunged off cliffs, the airplanes that crashed. I wanted to travel around the world as most of the people in the world did, putting their lives at risk every time they took off on...
pickThis is the first book. That wasn‘t made clear and both audiobooks were released on the exact same day, so whoops. This one is just as funny as Getting Stoned with Savages, and they were definitely in a more remote area in this one. Even his descriptions of returning to western civilisation and having to readjust were funny. I can‘t wait to dig into Headhunters on My Doorstep.

I live just across the river from North Dakota and it‘s a very different world on the other side of the river. They have more restaurants and then it‘s just flat land. I don‘t know why they haven‘t left yet, either.
