Just before I started to write my first book, I went on a trip of a lifetime to Asia. The schedule was jam-packed with many different countries. Since I had never been to Asia before, it seemed like a great idea to cover as much terrain as possible. Japan, China, Malaysia and various islands of the Philippines were all part of the itinerary. The trip also turned out to be a one-month executive summary of how not to travel.
