One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled considerably, Asia, Africa, Europe. While in China I was enveloped completely in steam when a man making puffed rice with a canon looking contraption rotated over an outdoor fire, unfastened the lid and exploded the "rice canon" into a burlap bag -- the puffed rice was delicious.

I have been the only white guy in a village in Wenda, South Africa, and walked through Bucharest when the city was absolutley dark because of electricity rationing and no cars were allowed to be out.
