Hey there, friends o’ Gadling. Here’s a quick look at what’s going on in the travel world today…
- Arrested abroad? The inimitable Leif Pettersen can help.
- Is Detroit making a comeback?
- Tyler Cowen shares some memories of East Berlin, writing, “I saw soldiers goose-stepping down one of the main streets. In the stores old ladies yelled and swung their brooms at me. Many buildings still had bullet marks or bomb damage from World War II. In a restaurant we ate a rubber Wiener Schnitzel and shared a table with an East German family; they did not have enough trust in their government to speak a word to us… This was in the capital city in the showcase of the communist world.”
- Travel guru Rick Steves takes a look at electronic versions of guidebooks and says, “Not so fast.”
- The New York Post offers ten of the best travel tweeters today. (Ahem, recognize anyone?)
