In China your host will lose face if he does not pick up the tab. In Tokyo, ` Chin-Chin` is slang for `small penis`. In Sardinia a raised thumb means `sit on this!`
- try that in a traffic jam in Cagliari. The world is not, in fact, flat; & as travel becomes ever easier, understanding the way things are done in other societies becomes ever more crucial. ” Going Dutch in Beijing” aims to help its readers avoid minor international incidents by offering a light-hearted but informative look at everything from first greetings to last rites, covering key minefields of misunderstanding along the way. If you want to know what not to say, what not to wear & what not to do when you are invited round for dinner, all around the world, it`s as well to get up to speed before you find yourself in the local police station. As they say in South Korea
-! (Enjoy!).

Going On The Turn

Danny Baker`s third volume of memoirs barrels along at the same cracking pace as its predecessors, the bestselling Going to Sea in a Sieve (the inspiration for the major TV series Cradle to Grave and subsequent nationwide tour) and Going off Alarming. With his trademark exuberance, he recalls the years which included six years` involvement in the massive TV hit TFI Friday (`piling it up with hellzapoppin` ideas`) - during which time he stalked John Cleese in New York, entertained David Bowie and Paul McCartney, bizarrely reunites with Sir Michael Caine, gets befriended by Peter O`Toole and becomes a member of Led Zeppelin for 35 minutes. However, the tales are not reliant on celebrity alone, and the book comes packed with the usual"a of Baker family jewels, including Spud`s
attitude to doctors, Danny`s trip to Amsterdam to get stoned for the first time (he fails), getting caught up in football rioting, and the now infamous `kaboom` of an outburst following his despatch from BBC London. And then there`s the cancer. Spoiler alert: this is the one in which he almost dies. Further spoiler alert: he doesn`t.Going on the Turn is a rollicking read that fizzes with wit, warmth and enviable joie de vivre.
