David Bateman Ltd 2012 edition
Irreverent, laugh-out-loud tales of living and travelling in India. Join award-winning writer Lisa Scott and her economist as they experience the absolute hell and pure joys of India. Trading the quiet back streets of Dunedin for the heat and chaos of Bangalore, southern India, Lisa tells their story in her own inimitable style.

Very funny and highly readable - a 'travel' book, but different....
