Eastward

In this companion book to the successful TV series, Julia Finkernagel gives a humorous and witty account of her personal première as a “Go East” traveller, the special highlights and major and minor catastrophes of her tour. For example, she describes her creepy experience in the castle of a bloody countess in Slovakia, how she ended up in prison in Russia and why tea is poured back into the pot three times before you drink it in Kyrgyzstan. These astute and humorous travel episodes also reveal the outrageously funny details that never made it into the TV version!
