Quotes by Tom Coote  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tourists often think that they can get a feel for the local people and culture by visiting such ‘attractions’ as museums and art galleries. This is absolute rubbish. Most such places have about as much to do with the real culture of a country as Morris dancing has to do with the culture of England. It is through the humble supermarket that the real soul of a people is revealed. Their other big advantage is that you can eat the exhibits.”
Tom Coote, Tearing up the Silk Road: A Modern Journey from China to Istanbul, through Central Asia, Iran and the Caucasus by Tom Coote
