Expat etiquette: how to look good in bad places

Author: Michael Bear and Liz Good 

Language: English

Summary: Going overseas is hard. Leaving friends and family behind. Traveling to a country where you probably don’t speak the language, and definitely don’t understand the culture. Foreign foods, foreign diseases. Loneliness.
Of course, it does have its compensations. Smoking. Casual sex. Functional alcoholism. Add a little danger and excitement, and it’s a difficult offer to refuse.

Expat Etiquette is a guide for all of those who want to travel to far-away and sometimes dangerous lands—for the best or worst of reasons—while retaining a modicum of style.
Expat Etiquette provides that essential advice you won’t find anywhere else, like how to drink bootleg liquor and not go blind, have an overseas affair, or negotiate with rebel groups.

Michael Bear lived and worked in Afghanistan, across East and Central Africa, and in Iraq. He has an abiding fear of rats, and a deep antipathy to Nescafe. He graduated from Yale and Harvard Law.

Liz Good spent her twenties cultivating a healthy disdain for office work. She has worked extensively on human rights and media issues in Africa and South Asia. She is a graduate of Brown and the London School of Economics. – Source: Amazon.com
