Book Description:
When Adeline Loh could no longer endure the zombie training camp that is the office, she did what any sensible person would do: flee Malaysia with her paranoid vegetarian companion Chan to explore the lion-infested wilderness of southern Africa. Landing in Zambia, the bush virgins soon realized that nothing from the Animal Planet documentaries had prepared them for survival in the savannah. With hippos and buffaloes conspiring to kill them, our addled heroines had to rattle along crater-pocked tracks, canoe through crocodile-filled Zambezi River, fly over panties-soaking Victoria Falls, stalk incestuous rhinos, and pee amid deflowering shrubbery. Under more life-preserving circumstances, Loh thoughtfully unravels one of the world’s least explored yet most heart-stopping countries; all the while hoping to achieve her main goal – not to get eaten.
About the Author:
Since being convinced that she was a danger to herself and others, Adeline Loh has been travelling to warn people around the world. Nine years before that, she relished the torture of being a one-staff editorial team in etc, Juice, The Professional and Architecture Malaysia. She has also contributed to FHM Malaysia and worked as a TV scriptwriter. In 2005, she coauthored the second edition of the Malaysian bestseller Don’t Sit On This Book, a funny collection of quirky Chinese taboos with feng shui master Philip Cheong. Despite such diverse literary achievements, her lifetime’s ambition remains to become the deadliest female kung fu fighter on the planet.
