SHITTING PRETTY - HOW TO STAY CLEAN AND HEALTHY WHILE TRAVELING
Jane Wilson-Howarth 2000·pp 150. Travellers’ Tales, San Francisco, California.

p09-3.jpgA hilarious account of the experiences that travellers, especially women have when it comes to natural activities like eating, bathing and going to the bathroom. A perfect handbook for travellers, it is filled with practical knowledge on how to eat and drink safely in a foreign country. At the same time, it touches the heart with its witty and dry humour, interspread with amusing anecdotes from fellow travellers. The book is laced with common sense tips and techniques on on how to avoid diarrheoa, parasites and other diseases like malaria, hepatitis and typhoid. On openly dealing with a topic that is normally shunned in discussions, Jane Wilson-Howarth provokes the traveller to be adventurous and unashamed when it comes to "loo" matters. Throughout its racy style, the book emphases on the big role that culture plays when it comes to something as simple as wanting to use the bathroom.
