O knihe

About the book: Dr. Coen van't Veer - historicus: Joop Heilijgers, is a born story teller. Entertaining with a lot of humor. He gives the reader a colourful insight in the expat life in the tropics. His stories are not only a pleasure to read, but also a modern way of history writing. I loved the book, and read story ofter story with a big smile on my face. A Director of Human Resources of a multinational: This book, should be compulsory reading for new Expats The writer Jacob (Joop) Heilijgers - a Dutch national - is a business man and writer of columns, articles and short stories. He has been living for 30 years in Singapore and Indonesia. Where he witnessed many strange things from close-by. Joop turned these into a book of 300 pages, with 16 independent true stories. Many are about amorous relations of fellow expats with much younger Asian women. The ideal wife in their eyes, but the big differences in age and culture often became a recipe for disappointment. Divorce, loss of money and even dead. Certainly, many mixed relations are going well. But hard to write a juicy story about, according to Joop.
