Road Warrior: Adventures of the Business Traveler will pass along tips from business travelers, foreign correspondents and other veteran "road warriors" on such things as snagging the best airline seat, dealing with jet lag, where to eat in a foreign city and not get ripped off (or violently ill), where to go for a night on the town (in Paris, say, or Bangkok) and how to get away from it all, even if it's just for a couple of hours, in Beijing or Berlin. And we'd like your advice: Where do you take clients for a business dinner in London or Cape Town, Sydney or St. Petersburg? What's the best way to get from Narita airport to downtown Tokyo? Where's the best place to stay in Buenos Aires or Seoul, Kampala or Canton? Your boss has instructed you to open a branch office in Azerbaijan: What do you do next? Share your secrets and stories from the road warriors' trenches -- and profit from those of your fellow warriors. You've been there; you know it. Send your tips and tales to wanderlust@salonmagazine.com. And stay tuned. Sept. 23, 1997 ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM McCAULEY
