Philippe and I make a pilgrimage to Shanghai.
I met Philippe Hanin on a ferry from Osaka, Japan to Shanghai, China. He recently finished a nearly two-month pilgrimage, during which he walked to all 88 of Shikoku's temples that are associated with the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi.
Also, my next book, 1000 Days Between, Part 2 will be available on December 8. Get ready!
And now, for this week's show:

Show Notes:
- Here's a listing of all 88 temples along the Shikoku Pilgrimage. And here you can find a map of the pilgrimage and the temples.
- The population of Hangzhou, that “city near Shanghai” where the American basketball players were recently arrested for shoplifting, is 9.2 million (21.5 million in the metro area). New York has a population of 8.5 million (23.7 million metro).
- This ia a bit dated but keep an eye on it. At some point, US citizens could need a visa to travel to Europe because we are not honoring our agreement to allow visa-free travel to the US for all EU citizens.
- I think this one is more likely to happen. If you are from one of the nine states that doesn't comply with the Real ID act, you'll need a passport to fly domestically, starting on January 22, 2018.
