Strip Pan Wrinkle (in Namibia and Botswana) is an account of a five-week excursion made through Brian (of Brahmaputra status) and his wife, Sandra, as they force their Land Cruiser in a longer loop via Namibia, Botswana and a bit of Zambia. as with any of the opposite books in David Fletcher's 'Brian's World' sequence, the account is very greater than a daily diary in their journey. it's also an perception into all of the international locations visited, an exploration of what flora and fauna one may possibly come upon in those nations and, chiefly else, an workout in humour. it's not, for this reason, a typical travelogue. as a substitute, with Brian's reviews – and his contemplations – chronicled in a fashion that's extra wry than entire, it's very a lot an a laugh travelogue. It encompasses a attention of the way a lot our own Royal Mail is subsiding the Botswanan submit workplace, an overview of the ugliness of the human shape compared to that of a leopard and a...

The recent Industrializing international locations (NICs) of the Pacific Basin--Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore--differ in lots of methods akin to their languages, cultures, political and fiscal platforms. what's fascinating is what monetary attribute they carry in universal. every one has succeeded in defying in what Chow and Kellman outline as a "vicious circle of poverty" following international conflict II.

Example text
These were again similar to those in Namibia (or at least to those in the Caprivi Strip), albeit there were two distinct differences. In the first place, the huts were not surrounded by litter and, in the second place, all these little round, thatched-roof huts, whether standing on their own or within a small village, were standing well away from trees. Rather than building their homes under some shade, it seemed that the Botswanans much preferred their accommodation under the full blaze of the searing sun, despite what this must have meant for its interior temperature.
Oh… and there was a chilled mini-bar as well. And within seconds of arriving in their very own “tentlike structure”, Brian and Sandra had concluded that it was now late enough and hot enough (it was roasting) to raid the minibar and, by combining some of its contents with the tent’s shaded deck, to discover whether the product of this mixing was even better than the sum of its parts. It was. Windhoek was now six hundred kilometres away, but two glasses of Windhoek Lager were just an arm’s length away – on the deck’s table.
Or maybe that was just their English as opposed to German vocabulary. But for whatever reason, Ted and his wife, Dot, joined their English preferences for an extended chat – and another aperitif. ’ From these questions, Brian and Sandra learnt that their new acquaintances had already spent some time in other parts of Namibia and were soon off to Zambia. But they also learnt that Ted had spent a great deal of time in other parts of the world, and parts that they themselves had visited. It started by accident.
