Indonesia is an exotic and exciting place to live. This is an entertaining collection of experiences and observations from an Englishman who lived, loved, and drank beer, quite a lot of it, in the country for twenty years. Most of the articles first appeared in a local English-language magazine, but this collection includes the ‘ones that got away’ and weren’t published because the editor wished to avoid ruining the readers’ breakfasts and upsetting the advertisers. Everything that happened in these stories is true. They have been given a satirical twist whenever possible.
