I came accross a complete LP set of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas played
by Schnabel priced at a pittance in a booth in Taipei in 1968. I figured
I'd saved a bundle buying that and some other recordings and books. Then
I had to pay all or most of it back when the ticket check-in clerk at Kae
Tak airport in Hong Kong, where we stopped over afterwards, unlike his
counterparts at any of the other airports we went through, charged us
excess baggage costs.
