Inhaltsangabe

Ayun Halliday may not make for the most sensible travel companion, but she is certainly one of the zaniest, with a knack for inserting herself (and her unwitting cohorts) into bizarre situations around the globe. Curator of kitsch and unabashed aficionada of pop culture, Halliday offers bemused, self-deprecating narration of events from guerrilla theater in Romania to drug-induced Apocalypse Now reenactments in Vietnam to a perhaps more surreal collagen-implant demonstration at a Paris fashion show emceed by Lauren Bacall. On layover in Amsterdam, Halliday finds unlikely trouble in the red-light district?eliciting the ire of a tiny, violent madam, and is forced to explain tampons to soldiers in Kashmir?"they’re for ladies. Bleeding ladies"?that, she admits, "might have looked like white cotton bullets lined up in their box." A self-admittedly bumbling vacationer, Halliday shares?with razor-sharp wit and to hilarious effect?the travel stories most are too self-conscious to tell. Includes line drawings by the author.
