...another ancient Chinese sage (whose name eludes me) said along those same lines: "A good traveller never knows where he's going - a perfect traveller never knows where he's been."

I've never been to China, but from what all these philosophers are concluding, it must be really hard - and take forever - to get someplace.

Regardless, my personal travelling experience leads me to believe what they say is essentially true. With a few exceptions, the 'destination' has been somewhat of a letdown compared with the 'journey.'
