Sun After Dark eBook Review

This is going to be a brief review because I didn't finished the book, but I think I'm done with it. Pico Iyer is a travel writer and this is a collection of some of his travel writing. He visits the Dalai Lama. He visits Tibet. He goes on a field trip to a Bolivian prison and then is surprised when he barely gets out with his life. I found this passage particularly insightful

The traveler, if he comes from a place of comfort, travels, in part, to be stood on his head; to lose track of tenses, or at least to be back to essentials, free of the details of home...he has traveled to look at himself (and his world) through the eyes of the local, for whom the real source of comedy and strangeness is that newcomer, walking the wrong way down the street.

Other than that, eh. I think in general I would rather travel than read travel logs.
