...many have small charms on their cell phones, and read thick volumes of manga. Many a morning I find myself in the throng of school children, who travel en masse to school in their uniforms reminiscent of sailor suits. They are the most social of those riding the train as they excitedly discuss topics beyond my realm of comprehension...
...Mark Twain had an impact on Australia, too, and not just a literary one. On a visit here in 1895, he took a train from New South Wales to Victoria. At Albury, on the state border, he and the other passengers had to change trains in the freezing pre-dawn.

It is unacceptable that almost seven years after 9/11, those responsible for the attacks...
...traveling routes that mold the city would show a human ant trail of Wall Street armor, lost tourists, and trendy hipsters. The financial analyst’s brow is lined by the latest economic woes. The leader of the tourist group is dismayed at having boarded the express train rather than the local. The hipster is fretfully correcting the tilt of his trilby hat. When someone is caught in the subway door, the disinterested glances of his fellow passengers reveal not only a minor disdain for the wellbeing of others but an inherent disinterest in them as well...
