We love to hate them and yet, we continually do them. After I wrote Can hype kill famous landmarks… like Angkor Wat?, more famous sites erupted to memory, like a serial killer's growing body count. Angkor Wat wasn't the first site to bite the dust.

We were at the entrance of the [More...] India-Pakistan border crossing performance and everyone wanted in.

Was I ready to free fall back into the masala mania? While the traveler in me was excited to get back on the explorer's road; the solo gal in me was dreading it.
