Better than Snarge: Trips gone wrong, poor decisions made along the path, and mighty adventures in faraway places

Travel writer Michael McCarthy has travelled the world enjoying
adventures and seemingly looking for trouble and, sadly, quite often he
seems to have found it. After many years roaming the planet, he poses the
following pertinent inquiries to those eager readers who may wish to know
when faced with certain predicements, such as:
* Is it possible for a westerner to acquire
instant enlightenment in a weekend "silent
retreat" in a monastery in Nepal?
* What do you do if your ferryboat sinks in a
lake full of crocodiles in Cambodia?
* Have you ever been sent for questioning by
men with bad haircuts to the "back room" in
the security area of an airport?
* If you are afraid of water, what's it like to go
swimming with great white sharks?
* Where exactly is the "worst road in the
world" located, and what's it like? Better yet,
why bother to go there?
* What in the world is snarge?
Those travellers curious about answers to such
important questions are encouraged to rifle through
the pages of this strange book, where somehow
trips go somewhat off-kilter, poor decisions are
sometimes made along the way, and mighty
adventures are enjoyed in exotic destinations
