The Travel Gods
The Travel Gods are an eclectic, ever growing group of deities, dedicated to causing wonder or horror aboard airplanes, buses, trains, taxis, donkeys, camels, tuk tuks, trishaws, cyclos, helicopters, Russian planes, and more; and and in hotels, guesthouses, hovels, restaurants, public toilets, museums, temples, ruins, and more.
For years even speaking the names of these fearsome gods was taboo. Until now. For the first time in history, the Travel Gods have granted exclusive interviews to The Lowe Road, deeming 2008 an auspicious year (is is the Year of the Rat, after all) in order to create a bridge of dialogue to the mortal souls who they have tormented through the ages, (including the likes of Icarus) agreeing to offer some insight into the reasonings behind their decisions to cause flightmares, explosive traveler's diarrhoea, dog bites, charges by irate bulls, hyena visits in hotel rooms, cat scratches on Zanzibar, and other forms of chaos, terror, hardship, and suffering.
Any traveler suspecting themselves to be on the Travel Gods Shit List are advised to tune in. This is a rare opportunity to learn what makes these Gods tick, and guidelines for offerings to appease their fickle tastes. Watch this space for inverviews with these key Gods throughout 2008.
