Books are the bomb. And here’s a selection of super sweet ones for your reading pleasure!
Totally Righteous Tales of Digestive Disorders, Aesthetic Assaults and Near-Death Experiences in the Far, Far East
(Non-Fiction) is about finding yourself in a land that sports:
- mirror-obsessed Korean dudes intent on checking out their own butts as much as possible,
- hairstylists in hot pants & go-go boots who want to sculpt your hair into an orange, Carol-Brady-esque shag, &
- tai chi masters who slip you poison – for your own good.
And those are just a few highlights of your far, far eastern adventure – a journey that Totally Righteous Tales gently walks you through with hilarious stories of digestive disasters – hello, the food in Korea? It actually hates you; aesthetic assaults – yeah, that orange hair? Not so down with the hip crowd these days; and near-death experiences – because nothing gets the adrenals going like almost dying at the hands of your local cab driver. On a daily basis.

** I’d like to thank Peter Jensen-Choi and his rock climbing company, Sanirang Alpine Networks, for donating money to the publication of this book. I appreciate the support. And if you ever want to get your climb on while in Korea, this is the company to talk to. I went on a trip with them while I was there and it was a blast! If you don’t know how to climb and want to learn, this is also the right place to go. Peter and his fellow guides rock. **

And she’s left wondering, “What the hell just happened?!”
