PUBLISHER'S BLURB: 400 amusing and amazing anecdotes from 42 contributors. Still on best-seller lists in Hong Kong and Thailand five years later. Reprinted 11 times so far, with 55,000 copies of the series sold to date. A no-holes-barred romp through Asia! Great reading for the expat that can't remember what he did last night, for once-were expats to remember what Asia was like, and for might-be expats to know what they're really getting themselves in for. It's all in here. swapping a Rolling Stone magazine for a Vietnam visa, the group that posed as Air Supply to get through an Indonesian roadblock, what your maid might be doing with Indian gentlemen and a jar of Vaseline while you're at work, the North Korean soldier doing a Ugandan wardance in a karaoke lounge, the bloke that posed as the British High Commissioner in Bangkok bars, the gent in the Singapore club sauna in a 3-piece suit, the English lady shot by the Macau gangsters, the helicopter pilot they wanted to use as a case-study for VD research, the American that ordered a fat young boy in a Hong Kong restaurant, the guy that bought a Phuket bar on Amex card, the Aussie they flew around the region to non-existent meetings, ordering Kentucky Fried Cobra in a Malaysian snake restaurant, jumping airport immigration queues to get to a Manila bar on time, the 3 cups of coffee that cost US$100 in Tokyo, the guy who went to a Seoul barber shop and asked for a haircut, the guy who had his wallet stolen by police, and many many more.
