Aberdeen

Magun's Compass
Learn from the Travel Experiences of Others

The Floating Restaurant has always drawn tourists to Aberdeen. If you want to see it, it's a 91k file.

Although most of the sampan dwellers have been re-located, hagglers still approach the tourists to offer them half-hour tours around the remaining houseboats; some of them gleaming white yachts.

On the quayside, restaurant owners and old ladies look for the best price as fishermen offload their catch.

Travel on trains and buses in Asia, then jump into cars with complete strangers in Australia and New Zealand as Michel introduces you to a collection of characters that bring Nomadic Gatherings to life.

If you can't afford to buy a copy of Nomadic Gatherings, the chapters are slowly being made available online - for free.

You may even decide that it really is worth having a hard copy in your hands; a useful read for those long bus journeys being written about, and for endless waits at ferry ports.
