Going Down in Asia: and Other Shameful Moments Jon Olmstead

Turns in Life is a sarcastic account of 16 stimulating days through SE Asia, along with over 45 short stories covering topics such as a father's Olympic disaster, the 'hard times' of puberty, and finding a soul mate at a shopping mall. During their brisk adventures through Japan, Thailand, and Singapore, Jon and Alex learned many valuable lessons including why village women wear shorter dresses, how to ruin precious film during a morning train ride, and how to stay composed during a 'special' massage. You'll also discover why you may want to sleep with an ironing-board on your next business trip, how to spread the common cold at church, and who ranked as the top 25 undesirable women of all time. Turns in Life is a must read for curious travelers.
