Review

In Going Abroad we learn of squat toilets, Chinese group latrines, automated English street toilets, the proper use of toilet-paperless toilets, how to use a bidet, and how to find a toilet where you do not speak the language (hint: pantomime). Eva Newman covers just about every contingency you might encounter, from the tropics to Antarctica (really!). You won't want to leave home without it.
