With only their sense of humour as their guide, Dave and Jenny set out to explore a city in which ancient stone monuments compete with glass-clad shopping malls to define the landscape.

Ein Grund fuer den Autor, dieses Buch zu schreiben, ist, dass er tagtaeglich, Saison fuer Saison, die Massen von Touristen auf den immer gleichen Pfaden wandeln sieht. Alle scheinen hier mehr oder weniger dasselbe Programm abzuspulen. Schuld daran sind nicht zuletzt die zahllosen Reisefuehrer, die sich inhaltlich alle gleichen wie ein Ei dem anderen. Wie soll man als Reisender da auch Neues entdecken, wenn man sich an einen Reisefuehrer klammert, in dem nichts Neues steht? Als ortskundiger Deutscher wundert man sich ja schliesslich auch darueber, dass alle Deutschlandreisenden die immer gleichen Orte und Regionen abklappern: Den Koelner Dom, den Schwarzwald, Schloss Neuschwanstein, das Hofbraeuhaus in Muenchen und eine Bootsfahrt auf dem Rhein entlang der Weinstrasse vielleicht noch. Als Einheimischer weiss; man, dass Deutschland soviel mehr zu bieten hat, eben abseits der ausgetretenen Touristenpfade. Genau dasselbe gilt fuer jede andere Region am anderen Ende der Welt, in Laendern, von denen man als Tourist so gut wie nichts weiss, ausser das, was in den Reisefuehrern steht, die anscheinend irgendwo geklont anstatt erweitert werden. Und deshalb moechte dieses Buch einen kleinen Einblick geben und einige wenige Regionen vorstellen, die auf jeden Fall einen Abstecher wert sind. Vor allem aber moechte es die Neugier wecken und Mut machen, damit Sie als Reisender die ausgetretenen Pfade auch mal verlassen. Und keine Sorge: Ihnen passiert dabei schon nichts. In kaum einer anderen Region auf der Welt ist es einfacher und sicherer zu reisen, als im wunderbaren Suedostasien, in Kambodscha, Laos und Myanmar - egal auf welchem Pfad Sie hier auch wandeln.
