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