There was a discussion of Kevin Kelly's (the founder of Wired) travels in Asia in the 70's [1]/[2], this part grabbed me: > I remember taking an overnight bus from India to Kathmandu. That bus was probably not more than $5. I remember that morning, after traveling all night, rolling down the Kathmandu Valley and seeing the Himalayas, and a whole city with zero cars. Sadly the modern world has infected the whole planet that we can't enjoy places like these any more. Kathmandu is a jungle of concrete buildings and traffic nowadays, as a quick YouTube search shows (is it good or bad that we can just look up on YouTube what a city looks like?)
