Slow Boats to China.
United Kingdom. Picador. 1995. [Reprint]. Stock ID #172386 "This text follows the travels of the author who, discouraged from planning a route by unhelpful travel agents and unreliable shipping guides, embarks upon a game of traveller's roulette. The book starts at Piraeus and ends at Canton, as Young boards any vessel moving in the right direction - tanker, freighter, dhow or junk, visiting as many ports of call as possible in between. The journey takes seven months and 23 vessels to complete, and features encounters with pirates, unspeakable food and lasting friendships formed." - Publisher's description.
