Last Trout in Venice: The Far-Flung Escapades of an Accidental Adventurer
by Doug Lansky
On This Page
Description
With a bottomless taste for the absurd, Doug Lansky takes the reader on a global odyssey. In Naples, reputedly the world's worst place to drive, Lansky rents a car. In Berlin, he dons a latex jumpsuit and spiked collar for a visit to the notoriously erotic Kit Kat Club. And in Tokyo, determined to deepen his appreciation for sumo wrestling, Lansky takes lessons from a master and rediscovers how it feels to be lifted into the air by a wedgie. Other adventures include climbing Mount show more Kilimanjaro in ill-fitting hiking boots, competing with the mobs to get picked for The Price Is Right, and tandem hang gliding with a daredevil pilot in New Zealand. show lessTags

- First words
- Tourism is an odd concept. (Introduction)
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)This brings me to my sure-fire adventure travel toilet tips: (1) practice squatting in your living room; (2) use a timer to work on your speed; (3) practice carrying around large quantities of toilet paper, and (4) if you can manage it when you get to your destination, don't go to the bathroom at all.
