Polars Bears, an Invisible Kite, and a Chain-smoking God
The new issue of Perceptive Travel is out now. We promise another set of interesting travel stories to delight and intrigue.
Amy Rosen returns with another tale from Canada, hanging out with fat summer polar bears on Hudson Bay. Luke Armstrong spent a year in Guatemala and simply had to go pay homage to the chain-smoking deity Maximon. We welcome frequent Travelers' Tales anthology editor Amy Carlson with a trip through the countryside of Japan.
Graham Reid checks in with reviews of some worthy new world music CDs and I check out three new travel books, including the disgustingly entertaining Extreme Cuisine. See it all here: October issue of Perceptive Travel.

How fast does your sink-washed underwear dry?
Thanks to everyone who entered the contest to score the Sansa SlotPlayer with 1,000 songs that we gave away last month. The winner was Catriona from Bristol, England.
This month we're giving away something that doesn't sound too appealing but believe me it'll change your travels: three pairs of quick-dry underwear from ExOfficio. I've been using these undies for years and absolutely love them: see a review on Practical Travel Gear here. You pick the color and style, with a retail value of $18 to $25 a pair. See the home page for more info.
To win, answer the following correctly---all answers easily found in the new issue.
1) What's the Kumano Kodo?
2) Where does Maximon reside?
3) What's the name of the new Kronos Quartet album?
Your odds of winning are better than you probably think!
