Traveling Circus
From the travel section of the NY Times Style Magazine:
"Now that bureaux de change are doing brisk business in rubles and yuan, it’s clear there’s a new world order in travel. ‘‘People from everywhere are going everywhere,’’ says Ian Bremmer, the president of the consulting firm Eurasia Group. And with new wealth come fresh stereotypes — remember the Ugly American? Bremmer ascribes clichés to ‘‘pure economics. It’s who’s spending the most money and annoying the locals.’’ Here, a pop-anthropological look at the travel universe now." -ANNA LOUIE SUSSMAN
