Travel spell
Posted Sunday, August 24, 2008, 11:08 PM by Lonely Planet
There's something about being on the road that casts a certain spell. Rules change with location - before you know it you're on the side of the road with one thumb extended.
Next you're stark naked and being beaten with a birch branch by a perfect stranger in a banya in Kazakhstan.
Soon, squatting next to a babouska in a communal toilet in Uzbekistan doesn't seem so confronting after all. Or the butt of a soldier's M16 against your knee as you travel by bus through Jerusalem becomes par for the course.
Isn't it funny how we roll with the punches on the road? And then we come home.

Russians helping you to get "beaten with a birch branch". Doesn't sound like 'my cup of tea'. Nor does a communal squat.
Is travel spell really true? Does it really exist? I think the best way for travelers to enjoy the trip is not through spells. It lies on your every decisions.

I thought you were talking about a real travel spell, but it seems not on my comprehension. Anyways, it that true, you were beaten with a birch branch or it’s just some kind of idiomatic expressions?
