Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the authors of best-selling Molvania comes another hilarious send-up of the always-culturally sensitive travel guide. Whether you'd prefer to taste the Phaic Tanese dish guoman (a local duck delicacy whereby the bird is plucked, rolled in spices, and slowly roasted over hot coals before being brought to the table and killed), or go brown-water rafting on the mudslides of the heavily deforested jungles of the north, or gain insight into the unusual customs of the Phaic Tanese people (Phaic Tanese men will often touch a blonde-headed child because so doing is believed to bring gold, and will likewise touch the breasts of a blonde-headed woman because so doing is believed to bring pleasure), Jetlag's travel guide is the essential guide for the undiscerning traveler. A fascinating land of contrasts with one foot in the past and another striding determinedly forward, Phaic Tan truly is a nation going in circles.

Synopsis:

From the Australian team that created the bestselling "Molvania" comes another hilarious send-up of the always-culturally sensitive travel guide. Jetlag's travel guide is the essential guide for the undiscerning traveler.

This hilarious book is the perfect guide for enjoying and staying out of trouble in Phaic Tan, should the country ever exist. Easily enjoyed in large or small doses!
