O knihe
Carver writes in a style not unlike Bill Bryson, candidly regaling
readers with tales of his worst experiences ("Some of the worst
were worse than others.") as well as the best: "I enjoyed a great
Abercrombie & Kent trip to China because it was a great
adventure, a great itinerary, a great tour group with a great tour
director, great hotels (except for a noisy Sheraton in Guilin), great
weather, and great tour management. Seven greats out of seven
ain't bad."
He says, "Great expectations when traveling are usually the source
of my greatest disappointments! I'm like the guy in a New Yorker
cartoon studying a brochure telling his travel agent: 'I am so
looking forward to this. I can't wait to be disappointed.'"
He writes "How to Survive Disasters like Theft, Accidents, etc.,"
and at the risk of seeming disingenuously obvious, he provides an
exhaustive list covering every possible thing that can go wrong
(Getting Sick, Getting Killed, Getting Lost, etc.), offering
suggestions for solving dilemmas. He concludes with "Did I fail to
mention Getting Bored to Death."
He describes trips with Yale Exes and travels to Italy, China, and
Romania where he taught English with Global Volunteers.
