Sarcastically witty book about a man who accompanies his girlfriend when she gets a job in the international development field. They travel to a speck of land in the Pacific and that is where the fun begins. This is a really interesting look at life on an island. The author also manages to educate the reader about the history of this part of the world. I enjoyed this book and the humor the author uses to describe sometimes depressing situations. The quality of life in an underdeveloped country, even on a beautiful island, it not always rosey. People that work in the development field will especially enjoy the humorous exploits of traveling to a new land and experiencing a new culture.
