:-)

in the late 70s, in West-Berlin, there was (still) talk of just such a service.
Berlin to Kabul, five or six weeks overland by bus.  (guessing the cost was
little more than the petrol money)

thanks, had not thought of/remembered that phrase.  (imo, Wikipedia is one of
very few examples of the interweb not having gone wrong)


regards, jr.

Hi(gh)!

It all started in 1957 with the Indiaman buses - see 
http://www.indiaman.101answers.com/ - even before Afghanistan officially 
opened its borders for tourists, which was only in 1959! Interestingly, 
otherwise than the "classic" hippie trail, the (initial) route of the 
Indiaman, left out Kurdistan, but instead fully ran though the Near East 
including Jerusalem (which after the Six Days War of 1967 probably was 
no longer feasible)... and they entered Afghanistan not, like 60s/70s 
hippies mostly did, via Islam Qal'a to Herat, but from Quetta via Spin 
Boldak to Kandahar! Back then, the Kandahar-Kabul road was not even 
metalled...

And what has this all to do with raytracing and 3D modeling? POVEarth, 
as it develops in the coming decades, surely will also provide a solid 
geographic background for the virtual rebirth of the hippie trail! Even 
more so as I plan to model the whole thing also in X3D... this would be 
real-time interactive!

See you in Khyberspace!
