Ever travelled to the Algerian Sahara in a borrowed jacket, posing as a local?
Ever sat in dreamy contemplation by the banks of the River Stour in summer?
Ever discussed the mechanics of a vortex generator with a Turkish engineer in a bowling alley?
Ever walked the streets of an ancient city soon to be levelled by an earthquake?
If you can answer all these questions in the affirmative, then this book is probably not for you. But for everyone else who enjoys immersive travel, then you're sure to enjoy these chapters.
If you enjoy anecdotal travel, mixed in with a dose of history, contemporary issues and the trials and tribulations of ordinary people - with a few smiles and laughs along the way - then this will definitely appeal to you. What are you waiting for!
