"We decided to race each other around the world without using airplanes. Steve went west, Vali went east, and the first guy to circle the planet would win a bottle of the best Scotch we could find in Los Angeles. This book is about our race. our vicious rivalry, and the crazy experiences we had as we tore through twenty-four countries on five continents. It features many valuable lessons, such as: How to join a Brazilian graffiti gang; Why you shouldn't eat fried silkworms or drink fermented mare's milk; Who to see if you need a custom jetpack; What to do if you accidentally get stuck in Palestine; Blueprints for a blind date in Sweden; and How to plan a kidnapping in Moscow. We're hoping this book is very popular, because it's about things everyone likes: vacation, adventures, friendship, races, pranks, and backpacks."--BOOK JACKET.Hely, Steve is the author of 'The Ridiculous Race', published 2008 under ISBN 9780805087406 and ISBN 0805087400.
