Cultural Whiplash
One moment sitting on a glacier in the Yukon. Ten hours in later a diner in Seattle. Enough to make your head spin.
Thirsty? Fire up the stove and melt some snow.
Hungry? Better cook something.
Want to sleep? Get out the shovel and dig a ledge.
Need to get home? Read the map and start walking.Fancy a drink? Buy a Coke loaded with phosphoric acid.
Want to eat? Pay someone minimum wage to cook your food.
Sleepy? Check into a hotel. Who made the bed?
Going somewhere… in your SUV with GPS navigation?
Which is really more civilized? Get off the train, it isn’t taking you anywhere interesting.
