POST#42—AFTERWORD

                  You can read this book before your trip, if you just can't stand the suspense of waiting for it to happen.
                  You can read this book during the trip, while you're waiting around in airports, bus stations, train stations, bus stops, hotel lobbies, travel agency offices, banks, money changing houses, consulates.
                  You can read this book after your trip, to remind you of highlights and bring back sweet memories.
                  Or you can save yourself a lot of money and hassles: read this book instead of taking your trip. As all sophisticated travelers know, The Ruins are overrated. So spoiled by tourists.
