I’ve read both this post and “Who Stole My Volcano” now; good stuff.

We started talking about the Bourne movies, and how, particularly the first and the last are set in Schengen – a connected, border-less Mitteleurope that can be hacked and accessed and traversed – not without effort, but with determination, stolen vehicles and the right train timetables.

Or, impishly, in the manner of American students’ backpacking tours of Europe, which in turn is a successor to National Lampoon’s European Spying Vacation.
