Not every culture has a jungle zip line, not every culture has elephant riding, not every culture has a day when they let herd animals stampede through town, not every culture has a museum, not every culture has a temple, not every culture has mountains to climb or reefs to dive but every culture has a place to relax.

Jeff Dorchen returns from his trip to India with baggage. And a comprehensive definition of tourism, and fermented mare’s milk, and an appreciation of cafe culture, and travel-sized Zen, and the limits of travel.
