10、 a surprise announcement to my friends: I was going to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year. Whats more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind. My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends. Some offer
11、ed support and encouragement, while others were more doubtful. Once Id said the words, there was no turning back. It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order. Once I set off on my adventure in December 2008, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to
12、 circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher. Even so, travelling overland was the most awe-inspiring way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet. I took three consecutive (连续) overnight buses to travel 3,000km t
13、hrough Argentina, from Ushuaia, the worlds southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled plains, as if humans had never touched it. It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day
14、spent gazing out the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldnt see a village or a human being for 10 hours. Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world
15、adventure. It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me

Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they
37、 realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in, the GPS is kind of “garbage in garbage out”. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings,
38、 or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that i
