William Charles Scully (29 October 1855 - 25 August 1943) is one of South Africa's best-known authors, although little known outside South Africa. In addition to his work as an author, his paid work was principally as a magistrate in Springfontein, South Africa, as well as in Namaqualand and the Transkei. His last position before retirement was as Chief Magistrate of Port Elizabeth, one of South Africa's larger cities. He organised the building of "New Brighton," a township for aboriginal African people in Port Elizabeth. At the time it was regarded as very progressive--a pleasant place to live. This book has been deemed as a classic and has stood the test of time. The book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations.

INTRODUCTION We seem to be well on the way to a cashless society. Paradoxically, however, the majority of the transactions are still paid in cash even in the most advanced economies. A second paradoxical observation is that, despite the primary and common character of currency, the economic theory on the use of and demand for cash is only rarely supported by empirical evidence.
Having been on business travels for over 2 decades, I have accumulated several stories and experiences that I have captured on notes scribbled over the years. The non-travelling years of 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 have prompted me to reflect on these travels and the stories collected, and I felt this is an opportune time to put these stories and feelings into a book to share with fellow business travellers and with all who miss the magic in business travelling. This book gives a light-hearted read with stories including how to sleep well and stay healthy whilst on the road, travelling alone, sleeping through a hotel fire alarm in London, sharing a hotel room with a stranger in Los Angeles, getting a nasty bout of food poisoning in China, planting a tree in a Brazilian plantation, insightful chats with strangers, scrambling to get an air ticket before Hurricane Rita strikes, going on a bleisure trip with colleagues, various first-time experiences in business travelling, falling into the gap between the train and the platform at London Paddington station, how Covid-19 has turned business travels to virtual meetings, etc. Enjoy the book, and I hope reading it will help you to bring back your own memories of past business travel
