From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.

3.5* - Still good, but not his usual standard
I usually like Sedaris a lot, but this one didn't hit the spot as well as others have. I don't know if it was my mood or his style this time. Although the humour was still there, it felt darker and bleaker than others. I'm also tempted to say it was more self-obsessed, but that's an odd thing to say of works that are all autobiographical anecdote.
