Why read it?

Of course, most of the restaurants no longer exist, and $5 dollars a day was more like $50 dollars a day, but this travel memoir is full of funny, disastrous, and touching adventures. I admit to a fondness for funny disasters.
From Mary-Lou's list on travel memoirs that will both inform and amuse you.
