Required Reading

I was in a restless and frustrated mood the other day. So I went for a bike ride and stumbled upon a well-stocked newsagent. I purchased the Travel Almanac, found a spot in the sun, had just enough euro for one beer, and ‘voila’, dark mood cured.

This magazine is the perfect size, with short, insightful interviews. Obviously they all focus on travel, and since I’m adventuring myself, it was interesting to get perspective from other more well-travelled folk.

Some things I learned:

Johnny Marr thinks running is the best way to see a city.

“I think, in life, you like to be involved with things with energy. If you’re running long distances your plans and thoughts are all intrinsically connected with high energy…”

He likes “secondary cities”

“What Manchester is to London…Melbourne and Sydney, Portland and Seattle…When I think of Melbourne I think of the Birthday Party, when I think of Sydney, I think of…INXS.”

This is an interesting observation, and one I always thought I agreed with. But after growing up in one of these secondary cities, then moving to the “primary city”, I can only say that I think different places can suit different periods of one’s life. Primary or secondary, both have great things about them.

Nobert Bisky likes walking around new a city:

“…immediately upon landing I go out and go around the city…You have to walk through a city to be able to discern its differences from other cities.”

…on photography:

“I don’t walk around and take pictures first – it’s really important to really “see” something first.”

…on train travel:

“Train travel achieves the same effect as walking or running: you start thinking about things.”

Udo Kier is THAT actor. The one you’ve seen a lot, but for the life of you, you can never remember his name.

- He lives in a former library in Palm Springs, collecting modern art and furniture.

- He also has a ranch.

- He also has an acquired fear of flying. (Meaning he never used to care, but the more he travelled the more he thought about the possibility of crashing. The same thing happened with me, but I don’t travel nearly as much as this guy.)

- But he consoles himself with this fact: “if an accident does happen, you usually fall from 30,000 feet, and then you’re already unconscious before you hit the ground, and then it’s not so bad…”

Thanks Mr. Kier. My fear of flying has slightly lessened knowing I will be unconscious before I hit the ground.
