In the early ‘90s, James B. Rogers, Jr., the oldest of five boys from Demopolis , Alabama , where his phone number once consisted of a single digit, traveled the world alone with a motorcycle under him, reporting his journey in the best-seller, Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers. So why go around again in the same decade? Because he wanted to see what shape the world was in as it headed into the new century. And to do that, he had to experience it from ground level. “In Rome , talk to the Romans,” as he puts it. Though he’s never patronized a prostitute, he believes you can learn more about a country by speaking to a madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from speaking to a government minister.
Besides this, the man simply loves adventure, and his first trip only left him hungrier for more.
Interesting book synopsis. Brief recounts of visits to foreign lands.
