Very readable collection of tales, quite a page turner. Not as corse as "Don't Tell My Mum......" but certainly amusing and a great insight into working as an expat in SE Asia.
From Jarrow to Java is an interesting account of the author's time working in Indonesia on a construction site.
It's in the mould of Don't Tell Mum I work on an Oil Rig.
The book has more about local customs and the way Indonesia and the ex-pat community there work than the Oil Rig books.
But there are still enough laughs to make it a fun read.
Worth a read for anyone interested in a fun read about what it's like being an ex-pat in South East Asia.
