Every place is a goldmine. You have only to give yourself time, sit in a
teahouse watching the passers-by, stand in a corner of the market, go for a
haircut. You pick up a thread a word, a meeting, a friend of a friend
of someone you just met and soon the most insipid, most insignificant place becomes
a mirror of the world, a window on life, a theatre of humanity. (Tiziano
Terzani, A Fortune Teller Told Me, p. 198).
And so follows a few of my glimpses through the world's windows.
These are not grand tours or breath-taking adventures, nor the kind of travel that only
hippies and professional writers can countenance. No, these are ordinary family holidays,
business trips ... the kind of casual travel anyone might undertake. I hope you find
something here to interest you.
