Steve Ladd writes: “Years ago I read a short piece in which a man radically addicted to in-depth travel noticed, at a wedding in rural eastern Europe, a fellow on-looker. Realizing he had seen that man before in other out-of-the-way places, he approached and they discussed their mutual interest in immersive travel. One offered the explanation, ‘I just want to be where it’s all happening.’ Can anyone identify this work?”
