The Year of Living Stupidly

In 1987, I was a young man repulsed by yuppiedom and disillusioned with the engineering culture. Inspired by "On The Road", I decided to quit my troubled engineering job and take a trip around the world, and write about it (I fancied myself as an overseas Jack Kerouac). The hope was that during this voyage, I would relax, find myself, and become a better person. Reality was quite different. But more importantly, this is the story of the strange, wonderful, and beautiful places and people I experienced, the lovely universe and earthlings who made it all worthwhile.
