Suspected Hippie in Transit

<p><strong>An unbridled celebration of free spirit</strong></p><p></p><p>What was it like to backpack along the international hippie trail fifty years ago? Martin Frumkin's pre-tech countercultural rucksack romp throughout Asia captures the tumultuous don't-give-a-damn attitude of such rebellious nomadic vagabonds as Marco Polo Ibn Battalu and Neal Cassady. Martin tuned in and turned on but chose not to drop out.</p><p></p><p>In volume 2 Martin continues his quest for truth justice and any way while immersed in Southeast Asia and the Orient. Avoiding the Burmese junta among Mandalayan-jeweled pagodas our anti-hero unwittingly flirts with the Serpent in Bangkok. Personal discovery of wondrous indigenous subcultures and temples beaches and volcanoes of Java Bali and Sumatra morph into the backstreets and Buddhist monasteries of free Hong Kong and Macau. After falling in love in the shadows of the Taiwanese alps he searches for old Korea under its modern veneer--interrupted by quick time measured by the almighty mamazon who watches over her courtesans.</p><p></p><p>Not knowing the laws values and mores of foreign cultures nor bound to those at home Martin experienced an inexplicable free-floating freedom. Written in journal form <em>Suspected Hippie in Transit</em> will empower you to wake up and change your life.</p>
