5 Ways to carry a goat - a blogger’s world tour
When I was living in Bangladesh last year, I answered a call out from Fairfax’s Backpacker blogger, Ben Groundwater, who was looking for couches to crash on around the world. So he came, and he crashed, and then he wrote a chapter (Rats, Roaches and Roadkill) about it.
On a personal note, it was strange being on the receiving end of someone else talking about me. As a writer, I’m often the one wielding control of the pen. Yes, there were moments I squirmed, thinking why on earth did I tell a journalist THAT? But kudos to Ben, he did a pretty good job of capturing Chittagong and some of the beauty of the ‘desh along with the bizarre.
So go buy it, support an Aussie writer, and have a laugh at my expense.
