Just finished the travel memoir "Getting Stoned with Savages" by J. Maarten Troost. It was an abssolutely hysterical account of his experience moving to Vanuatu and then Fiji with his wife while she did international development work. I thought some of you may enjoy it.

Thank-you! I have just ordered it.
Thanks Liz,
In similar vein, you might enjoy Tim Flannery's "Throwim way leg"
