Hello and Welcome to the World Via.

Please make yourself comfortable and allow us to provision your mind with all that it needs, as you spend some time in our intellectual home. Today, we’re going to try to bring the outside inside and to consider what the inside looks like from the outside. We’ll discuss the common ground held by motels, sub shops, cocktail lounges, and theme parks. We’ll contrast the Xenia of ancient Greece with the Omotenashi of modern Japan. We’ll try to answer the eternal question, “Can love convert the cannibal, or is it simply fish soup?” We’re going to dissolve our mental borders and bring you all into this conversation, giving freely, with no expectation of reciprocity. Eh, mostly.

Today, on the World via Hospitality.
