Planes, Trains & Elephants

Just finished reading the book. Read "Rule No. 5: No Sex on the Bus" few years back and now this one. Thacker knows how to write a funny book. As with "Rule No. 5" I was giggling all the time. To the author, thanks for sharing your adventures with us and for reigniting many memories!

I bought this book and couldnt put it down. I was laughing out loud continuously throughout the chapters of Rule No.5 No Sex on the Bus!Anyone who has ever traveled to Europe either on a Tour Guide or seeing the sights on their own will appreciate Brian Thacker's sense of humor, his outspokeness about misunderstood european culture and all the things we wish we could say outloud but didnt!It will re-unite you with Europe all over again, or for first time visitors it will give you a down to earth perspective of what its like touring Europe on a bus. This book is one you will enjoy page after page and have you feeling you are apart of the "Tour". =))

In this very funny book Brian Thacker describes jounreys he has made in many different countries using many different forms of transport. He is equally amusing whether he is writing about traveling by moped in Greece, taxi in Belfast, jeep in Hawaii, camel in Egypt, skis in Switzerland, elephant in Thailand, bicycle in China, horse in Mongolia,or any of the other many and varied forms of transport he's used in his life so far. Some of his observations puzzle me a little, I can't think why he dislikes Macdonalds, for instance, if you have children they're a godsend, and dirt cheap too. As with 'Rule No.5, no sex on the bus' the humour is a bit crude at times, but if you don't mind that you will enjoy this book.
