It covers the whole of Asia, with 42 contributors telling their side of the story…digging up what Rachel Farnay, editor of The Expat Magazine in Singapore, describes as 'a mighty collection of tales…' Including: * swapping a Rolling Stone magazine for a Vietnam visa * the group that posed as Air Supply to get through an Indonesia roadblock * the bloke that posed as the British High Commissioner in Bangkok bars * the English lady shot by Macau gangsters * the helicopter pilot they wanted to use as a case-study for VD research These were compiled and edited by Stuart Lloyd, adman, writer and musician, who spent over 12 years in Asia, keeping his ear to the ground for a good story on the streets, in bars, airports, taxis, the office, the country clubs, and the media… high-profile expat 'misadventures' involving the likes of Nick Leeson in Singapore and Michael Wansley in Thailand made news worldwide.
