TRAVEL
The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn’t a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.All night there isn’t a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I’ll not be knowing;
Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,
No matter where it’s going.
This project oddly reminds me of Nanook of the North...

Compared with the relatively homogenous American market, the global audience is fractured with extremely local tastes (and often a penchant for online piracy) and highly specific technical and legal requirements.” - Scott Roxborough.
