A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the authors of best-selling Molvan a comes another hilarious send-up of the always-culturally sensitive travel guide. Whether you'd prefer to taste the Phaic Tanese dish guoman (a local duck delicacy whereby the bird is plucked, rolled in spices, and slowly roasted over hot coals before being brought to the table and killed), or go brown-water rafting on the mudslides of the heavily deforested jungles of the north, or gain insight into the unusual customs of the Phaic Tanese people (Phaic Tanese men will often touch a blonde-headed child because so doing is believed to bring gold, and will likewise touch the breasts of a blonde-headed woman because so doing is believed to bring pleasure), Jetlag's travel guide is the essential guide for the undiscerning traveler. A fascinating land of contrasts with one foot in the past and another striding determinedly forward, Phaic Tan truly is a nation going in circles.

Biographie de l'auteur :

The guide has some contributions from some of the world's most experienced and opinionated travel writers, each an expert in their own field. Contributors include Phillipe Miseree, who has been travelling his whole life and has visited just about everywhere in the world at least twice: once to experience it and then again a few years later to be disappointed by the changes.
