Book Description

Trekking in the hills of South-East Asia - whether Vietnam or China, Laos through to Thailand, and beyond - will never be a complete experience if you can't meet and communicate with the locals, and they with you. <ul>

avoid the trap of some tourist 'attractions', by knowing how to approach, meet and communicate with local cultures without imposing, disrupting or offending </li></ul>

Customer Reviews:

a wonderful, eye-opening little book.......2000-10-08

I bought this book because of its lingustic interest. Material about Lisu, Lahu, Hmong, Akha, Mien, (et al) is very hard to come by. Ordinarily I would anathematize all phrase books, but this gives a lot of detailed information about these languages, including their structure and pronunciation, that is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. The author's presentation is very clear, and included also is some information about the peoples and the cultures of this little-known place. It actually made me want to go there.
