It never ceases to amaze me, whenever we travel to a new place; just how overwhelming it can all be. Whether it is the smell of a dozen culinary cuisines intermingling with the odor of a crowded market square; or the stark difference in architecture from one town to the next; and don't even get me started on the people themselves -- varying sizes and shapes, dressed in a myriad of styles.-Ramona Vântu, traveling Minstrel, speaking to Orlan at the gates of White Chapel.
