This book is not a travel guide to countries to visit, inns to stay at or bistros to dine in - thousands of books do that. This book presents a wide variety of stories based on interesting social, cultural and personal encounters the author experienced in his visits to 78 countries in 54 years as a tourist, professor and consultant. He lived in five of these countries. Stories range from educational to humorous to political to earthy to feats of derring-do.
