Episode 10: Trip Around the World (Part 1)For more than a quarter century, I have told my students tales of two buddies and me traveling around the world, including the legendary Trans-Siberian Railroad, in 1991. Our trip began and ended in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where we were living at the time. We voyaged from Guangzhou, China to Berlin, Germany, all by rail, with other portions done by water and air. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and it came at a pivotal time in the modern age. In 1991, China had only been reopened to the outside world for about twelve years, the USSR was in its last six months, and Germany had been reunited less than one year. My friend and fellow-traveler Mr. Terry Racher joins us for this episode. We discuss why we decided to make the trip, how it started, and it goes up to our departure from Beijing on the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
