Publisher's Synopsis
"Over In Asia" is a recounting of the author's two trips to Asia: the first to Southeast Asia and China, the second to Nepal and the Himalaya, totaling about 6 months. It is plain to see how vastly different these places are - both from the United States and from each other - through the author's eyes. Everything from the infrastructure, the art, the people, the food, the wildlife and the not so wildlife reveal undeniable proof of this. And yet, some things never change. It's a humorous narrative and only reflects the author's thoughts - both immediate and reflective - of places such as Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and Nepal. Along the way we discover that karaoke is awkward in every hemisphere, that bull genitalia should never be on a menu, and that hiking to Mount Everest Basecamp is hard.
