Africa, Japan and Everywhere in Between William A Stoever

The author's fearless (foolhardy?) adventures during an eighteen-month odyssey from East Africa through the Middle East to South and East Asia. He hitchhiked across the desert with a Sudanese truck driver, studied Arabic in a Cairo mosque, swam across the Suez Canal, picked apples on an Israeli kibbutz, tried out as a dancer in a Pakistani film studio, rode a thousand free miles on trains in India, smoked ganja in Nepal, hitched rides on U. S. A. F. planes and helicopters at the Vietnam War, fell in love with a girl in Japan, rode across the U. S. S. R. on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the days of communism, and traded currencies on black markets in Egypt, India, Vietnam, U. S. S. R. and other countries. This follows his first book, Hitchhike the World, which covered Europe and southern Africa.
