Reflecting on the good old fashioned explorer's travelogue

Reading through Jan Chipchase's stereotypically English approach to announcing the impending arrival of his apparently well received book is making me quirk my mouth in a remiscent smile of the days when we hung on every post - Chipchase at his height, splashed as the design researcher's Indiana Jones, across the New York Times in full colour. Yes, I tease gently as I look forward to getting a chance to scan his book at some point. You see, I'm leaving for Africa tonight.
