Gadlinks for Tuesday, 9.29.09

Welcome back to Gadlinks, our daily look at the most interesting comings-and-goings in the travel world. Here's what's going on today...

  • A sad chart from economist Bill Easterly's important paper Can the West Save Africa?
  • Rick Steves discusses the scourge of ATM fees overseas. A lesson learned from my recent trip to Guatemala, which I probably should have already known: Balance inquiries cost money!
  • Maybe you've heard of charter schools, but have you heard of charter cities?
  • This beats writing "Wash Me," huh?
  • Having to take your shoes off at the airport looks a whole lot more appealing now.
  • Obama heads to Denmark to push for 2016 Summer Olympics in Chicago.
