AMA Ride Guide to America: a Review
June 25, 2008 | Written by Srinidhi RV Lakhanigam
One thing I have noticed in America, unlike India [home to this ITKT writer -ed-] where motorcycle is the major mode of transport, here it is a tool of indulgence and entertainment. It is easier to get a license to drive a car than ride a motorcycle. Perils of motorcycle riding are much more on American highways than on Indian roads. Then the extreme weather conditions of this large country make it almost impossible to... [Read more]
More than a Guide
June 16, 2008 | Written by Devin Galaudet
I like books. Actually, I love books. I love them compulsively, and rarely have I ever stopped at my local bookstore without coming home with something — much to the chagrin of my hallway and overstuffed bookcases, which are both littered with books. So I when I went to Thailand, I couldn’t fight my compulsive nature and just bring one guide book — I brought four.
Although, they have their pluses... [Read more]

Books at Last!
April 4, 2008 | Written by Devin Galaudet
I am a book lover.
I am not just saying that. I am an obsessive compulsive book buyer and am usually good for a sack of books a week. I will read almost anything and my home isn’t getting any bigger. It is getting smaller, less and less space for me and my family as my books just spill out in every direction.
So imagine my thrill when we decided to add a Travel Book section on ITKT? I just about fell... [Read more]

June 27, 2007 | Written by Devin Galaudet
Even though I know English is widely spoken in Japan, I have often pointed out the importance of letting the locals know that I bothered to learn something of their language before traveling there. I usually memorize a few essential phrases and courtesies and then pull out my trusty crash-course language pamphlet to shamelessly plow ahead. I have butchered many a “thank you” and salutation as a result. Fortunately,... [Read more]
