Good historical perspective since originally published in 1993! I especially liked the chapters on Vietnam, Bhutan and Australia.

So attentive, so funny. I want to visit all the countries he talks about. Bhutan, here I come!

Interesting take on visiting some out of the way places.  A enjoyable read, although a bit dated since it was published in 1994.

Not as animated as Video Night, but I was still entertained.

Having trouble getting into this one, but I'll stick with it. I was hoping for more descriptions of Mr. Iyer's experiences, but it is more an essay on his view of the various countries.

Stories that stand the test of time and inspire a wanderlust for roads less traveled, places less touristed.
