Yet again I am the first person on Goodreads to rate a book. I think the author managed to insult absolutely every country he travelled through but usually in very niche and specific ways. It's got the energy of Around the World in Eighty Days but the added bonus of not being fictional, though much more haggling over the price of carpets.
