This is the fifth in a series of dispatches from all over the world in which Peter Biddlecombe recounts his battles to survive the black magic voodoo of 5-star international travel. Former European footballers of the year open their own high street bank, alcohol-free lager is invented to give the good people of Oslo an excuse to enjoy themselves, and the formation dancing team of the Ukranian mafia can register 6.7 on the Richter scale.
Good read if you want to forget about reality and just laugh from the belly. What is interesting is that this book was written in 1997. Between 2014 and 2016 I visited several of the places Biddlecombe wrote about and in most cases the nature of the local people has not changed. What I experienced and what he wrote in 1997 is much the same.
