Kurzbeschreibung
An alternative travel guide that offers advice on the worst places to stay and revels in the most demeaning aspects of holidays such as restaurant hygiene.
Synopsis
A travel guide with a difference, this title introduces a world where you are more likely to find a cockroach on your pillow than a complimentary mint, where you take your life in your own hands every time you get on a bus, where everything goes wrong, and you still end up loving every minute of it. Instead of practical hints, it gives you impractical ones (how to avoid jet lag - avoid jets) and rather than tell you the best places to stay, it tells you the worst. Instead of celebrating transcendental travel experiences, it revels in the most demeaning ones (on checking the hygiene in restaurants: there are two things you don't really want to see in life. The first is your parents having sex. The second is the state of the kitchen in restaurants catering for backpackers). But in that sense "No Shitting In The Toilet" is more in touch with the way things really are.

Format:Taschenbuch
With chapters like "Visas, Eating, Drinking, Money, Sleeping, ..." this book looks like a rather normal travel guide. Indeed, it does contain quite a few good recommendations, but it really is different from any other travel guide! The author tells you what you should NOT do, referring to his own experiences as a backpacker. You will laugh out loud at some of the situations because you probably have experienced just the same ... You don't have to read this book from beginning to end, just open it up on any page and have a read - it'll make your day :-)
Being an Aussie Peter Moore sometimes likes to make fun of the Americans he has encountered on his travels ... a pleasure to read ;-)
This book is the ideal gift for anyone who likes to travel, or who has travelled a lot.

Disappointing
16. Januar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I must say, I was intrigued by the title and ready to read some fantastic accounts of a veteran traveller to exotic, unexplored places...but it reads more like a series of "Top Ten lists" saying, "this is so crazy", "this is so dirty"! Really not recommended for anyone who has lived abroad, or had experience in other countries. More for college kids who want to spend a summer or year after their studies hanging out with other ex-pats in tourisy places, saying, "Wow man, things are really cheap in Thailand!"

Never have I read a book this quick
5. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Sarcastic, hilarious but at times practical peice of work. Some of Moore's findings provided warning/tips during my own trips. Others stirred up my curiousity and provided ideas/reasons to visit the places I've never been interested before. Hard to stop once you start reading!

Even the Stewardess was Laughing...
14. Juli 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I picked this up in Heathrow on the way back from a week in southwestern Siberia, a hellhole of a place, and this book was so on target with all the random idiocy and kindness and suspicion and just plan wonderment you stumble into once you leave the main thoroughfares trough London, Tokyo and Sydney and find yourself in way-out-of-the-way places and situations you could never imagine--until that very moment. Read it on the flight from Heathrow and my laughing prompted the stewardess to read a few pages. She had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard.
