Produktinformationen zu „This May Not Have Been the Best Idea (ePub)“
It started out as a what-ifif you had a chance to do something completely new and different, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, what would it be? Well, this experience certainly was new and different: hazardous weather, almost slavish work conditions, and tension verging on war throughout the area. And this was supposed to be vacation.
In This May Not Have Been the Best Idea, author J. Lau presents a somewhat fictionalized narrative of the journey he and his wife took to Jordan as volunteers on an archaeological dig. The trip was intended to be a unique way to act out a childhood dream, but things went wrong quickly once they arrived. From travel difficulties to tremendously hot weather to horrible working conditions to the revelation that the dig was not sponsored by any institution at all, Lau and his wife encountered a series of bizarre and frustrating difficulties on this trip of a lifetime. Along the way, they explored Jordanian culture and met numerous friendlyand not-so-friendlyresidents of their host country.
In a combination of personal narrative, dialogue, and stream-of-consciousness writing, this memoir recalls one mans trip to Jordan to dig in the dirt.

Autoren-Porträt von J. Lau
“When he was 5, J. wanted to be an archaeologist (ignore whether he could spell that). This manifested in he and his brother having a ‘dirt box’ rather than sandbox growing up (which was way more fun) and, for a number of years, unsuccessfully petitioning his parents to attend a summer program where he could learn the trade. Ultimately, he decided having a job that paid the bills was a bit better idea, but that passion never went away. He lived in the New York area and has a wonderful son he hopes will develop and follow his own passion, even if it is only as hobby.”
