Seat, Southeast Asia Trip Charlene B. Carstens

SEAT is a travel book of contrasting experiences. Whether walking on jungle paths in Mount Kinabalu National Park, or seated at the elegant Oriented Hotel, Sala dinner/theater show in Bangkok, this journey in Southeast Asia and the Orient is enhanced by hospitality of people met along the way. Share Christmas with a Chinese family and their retired diplomat parents in Tauwau, Sabah, Malaysia, meet a Swedish couple on New Years Eve at the beautiful Chinese Dynasty Hotel in Singapore, witness a petite robbery on a bus ride from Stanley Market outside Hong Kong, and, of course, come along for much more.
