and i quote

This spring as I sat on a bus from Paris to London — well, Paris to the English Channel to Dover to London — the most bizarre thing in all my years of travel happened to me. First a girl from Beijing, then a couple from Australia, then a student from Brazil, and finally a girl from Boston sat beside me to make one request: Please vote for Barack Obama for your American president.
