Slip into some Birkenstocks, slap on an Indian gauze shirt, hoist your backpack, and you'll be ready to travel the world with the free-spirited Halliday. Author of The Big Rumpus and creator of the zine East Village Inky, Halliday recounts her wanderings in a style that's breezy and, alas, oblivious to cultural sensitivity. Polite is not a word in her vocabulary, nor is consideration for others a part of her modus operandi. Halliday takes us to locations that include Ocktoberfest in Munich, a drama festival in Romania, the red-light district of Amsterdam, game preserves in Rwanda, a Paris fashion show, Southeast Asian beaches, camel trekking in the Sahara, and a houseboat in India. There's an abundance of bowel problems, a bout with malaria, unlikely wildlife encounters, and various male travel companions (all wimpy, of course). Perhaps Halliday considers immature behavior, ignorance, and irresponsibility funny, but, in the words of Queen Victoria, "We are not amused."-Janet Ross, formerly with Sparks Branch Lib., NV
