In this latest collection of fascinating facts and amusing tales, Arthur Black recounts his journey to Vietnam and Thailand, where his "dirty" American money is turned down and a massage turns into a fish feeding frenzy. He turns his critical eye and warped funny bone to a wide array of offbeat topics, including the cafe-office culture of free Wi-Fi and complex coffee concoctions and the danger of reading too many kinky romance novels. But good news is in the air too, as Black extolls how gum had been found to be good for children's teeth.
