Description

400 more amusing and amazing anecdotes of
ordinary expats in extraordinary situations around Asia! Banned in China!!!

This Hardship Posting e-book version re-edited and updated in Feb 2013.

Hardship Posting Vol.2 is the follow-up to the best-selling first volume which made the best-seller list in 3 countries. With even more stories and twice as many contributors, this is a hilarious warts-and-all look at the extreme experiences and situations that expats in China and all parts of Asia find themselves in, thousands of miles from the comfort zones of their own country and culture.

The Filipino faith healer that removed a volcanic rock instead of a kidney stone! The gent handcuffed to his hospital bed after a fight with a taxi driver! The Scotsman that couldn't get enough whiskey in Indonesia! The Brit who paid a Hong Kong fine in Monopoly money! The High Commissioner that drove his official car off the road in Brunei! The European couple looking for The Floating Market in a Bangkok office block! Waking up to find the girl of your dreams is a toothless Chinese grandmother! The American shot in a Sri Lankan palace roadblock! The guy 'quarantined' on his honeymoon! The gent that bribed a Thai policeman with a papaya salad! The madman that wore a red plastic dress on the Tokyo train! And many, many more…
