Few years back, one of my buddies asked me to travel along Silk Road and while he takes photos (he is good at that), I shall write the journal. And we shall publish it as some photo/journal book. Thanks for the recommendation. I shall check it out and learn how to write a good travel literature.

Please let me know when it's going to be launched in the shops. I would love to own a copy of your photo journal book.
If it's still in the pipeline, please let me know. I would love to join your 'team' on this wonderful journey--be it in the editing or hands-on process. But the Silk Road's a breathtaking but tough route to embark on.

To Xinyi: Same here. Lonely Planet's guidebooks are one of the best in the industry. Too bad I don't buy any of them. The library and bookstore browsing is where I read them. =)

To Ivy ... hey, thanks for your help in advance! You are right. It is a very tough journey. Unfortunately it is still at dreaming stage. I guess the timing is still not right yet but if ever we start the journey, you will be the first to know! :)
