  • "Packing up and running away to a South Pacific island seems like a romantic dream most will never experience. At twenty-six Maarten Troost did just that and moved with his wife, Sylvia, to Tarawa on the island of Kiribati. The two years that followed are detailed in this hilarious travelogue. Alarming animals, beer crises, and non-stop 'La Macarena' are just some of the entertaining adventures recounted by Troost."

This book tells the hilarious story of what happens when he discovers that the island is not the paradise he dreamed of. Falling into one amusing misadventure after another, Troost struggles with stifling heat, deadly bacteria, and polluted seas in a country where the only music to be heard is "La Macarena." He and his girlfriend, Sylvia, contend with incompetent officials, alarmingly large critters, a paucity of food options (including the Great Beer Crisis), and bizarre local characters, including "Half-Dead Fred" and the so-called Poet Laureate of Tarawa, a British drunkard who's never written a poem in his life."@en
