Product Description
Product Description
Sandwiches Should Never Taste Like Cow Crap is a collection of accidental lessons from travel writer Dave Lowe. From his madcap overland journeys though Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, the horn of Africa, Nepal, India and the Maldives, Dave has learned: Don't ever wear black in India - If the gods are watching, smile back - Yak fur comes up easier than it goes down - If a rat runs over your foot, relax: you'll grow rich. After run ins with evil customs agents, Tatami Dragon Ladies, randy camels, Khmer Rouge soldiers, and more, could his size 13 shoes be spreading mayhem and chaos with every step? Only the Travel Gods know for sure. After reading his book, you won't be eating a sandwich without carefully scrutinizing the contents first.

witty & fun, May 18 2008
By mvp2008 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sandwiches Should Never Taste Like Cow Crap (Paperback)
Ready for honest tales from the road? Reading Sandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap is like sitting down with a good friend and hearing the real story--not the idyllic we-sat-at-a-little-café-leisurely-eating-a-croissant version, but the witty, raw tales of Lowe's nine lives adventures traveling through Asia, Africa, and India. He's terrifically funny describing his encounters with a colorful cast of characters while weaving in golden moments, a bit of the bizarre, and life lessons along the way. It is a must read for anyone with the thirst for travel. You'll be taking a direct flight from the mundane to madcap! No doubt this book will stand out from the books you have recently read---if not from the travel genre on the whole. Enjoy it.

Hated to finish..., April 28 2009

This was one of those books that I hated to finish, it was so much fun. I can't wait to hear from Lowe again on his next adventures. I hope he's still traveling. I'm not into travel books in general but this was something different, funny, engaging, gossipy and a great adventure. I love the way Lowe sees the world and the courage he has in traveling. Come on Lowe, let us have some more!
