"... the beauty of being surrounded by the foreign, is that it slaps you awake. You can't take anything for granted. Travel for me is a little bit like being in love, because suddenly all of your senses are at the setting marked "on". Suddenly you're alert to the secret patterns of the world." - Pico Iyer: TED Talk
