It is only when that experience is internalised into understanding that the traveler can claim a modicum of understanding.the stories in this collection range from the silly to the sublime. They cover the author's experiences from Karachi to Kiribati and many places in between.Arrack? Zow? What about kotakas? Marmite prawns? Why can you smoke in an Indonesian coal mine? Why choose to grow poppies in Afghanistan when you could grow wheat? Why did Robert Louis Stevenson fall in love with Butaritari?All these and much more are answered in this fascinating collection.
