Title: Grottier than thou travel
Review: To be fair, Halliday's writing is quite good. She does rather well describing her misadventures and traveller's mistakes throughout Asia. For all that, though, it was more than a bit much to read her grottier than thou stories of hasty and much overdue washups in bathroom stalls, numerous exhaustively described accounts of dysentery, and constant attempts to score dope in the Third World. Her praise of Brits on the dole travelling in Asia chafed a bit, as well. Halliday comes across as the nightmare travelling companion. As for the hilarity, I'll have to take a pass.
