More Monkey Mischief: Adventures in India, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Macau

by Robert Wright

An alternative traveler's life, starting on the Hippie Trail to India in the sixties, that left me addicted to risk and adventures thereafter. A year and a half in a Lebanese prison did not worry me for long, and soon I was back on the road to India, and then trekking in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan. I worked in Hong Kong as a film extra for a while, until I had to go on the run from criminals there, right across the breadth of China. This short book of smuggling and other escapades is intended as a free taster for my full book of travels and wonders seen, which most readers will find to be witty, observant and informative.
