The Traveller's Companion (A Think Book)

This is the book for anyone whos been bitten by the travel bug. It wont tell you anything about the nightlife in New Zealand or the best bed in Bogot. But it will keep you company wherever you are with amusing anecdotes, surprising snippets, and treasured travel tips. Navigate your way through these pages and discover the longest place name in the world, what siderodromophobia is, how to survive in the jungle, where to offend by blowing your nose in public, who mistook Hitler for a doorman, and when passports stopped being written in Latin. Whether youre waiting for a bus or whiling away the evening after a day of sightseeing, The Travellers Companion is just the ticket.
