Personally, I hate travel. I find it a kind of suspended 
animation that is very exhausting and disturbing 
because one is constantly adjusting to new spaces, 
new faces, and this is, I find, a great drain on 
nervous energy. Travel is many forms and this kind 
of horizontal travel on rolling stock is much more 
conducive to social life and reading and chat, 
whereas when you go up in an airplane, you are 
suspended in a kind of time zone, you are really out 
of space and you begin to work away at forming a 
destination image or syndrome that imprisons you 
in kind of a hope bubble or pattern.
