About this audiobook
I had been in Asia just over two months--something like ten weeks, or if you’re counting days, about seventy days.
Of course, if you’re counting meals, like I was, think about two hundred and ten.
Add iodine-purified water, a permanent layer of dust on my tongue, and let's just say I couldn't always hold down what I did eat.
Food was becoming my meaning, my passion, my existence.
I dreamt up meals in my head: leafy salads, steak, anything without rice and noodles.
Sure, rice and noodles are great, but try them for seventy days, three meals a day--try anything for that long.
I wanted food from home.
Besides, just before coming to Asia, I'd spent six months in Africa eating things that were beige, bland, and beaten.
Oh yes, Asian food had sounded exotic and adventurous, but at this point given a choice between a baked potato and the Great Wall of China...
Pass the sour cream.

The following is an excerpt from the foreword to Bradley's upcoming book "Every Single Day" (available Oct. 17, 2017). "He no longer resembled the mopey dejected "former writer" I'd known. He became unstoppable. A machine. It wasn't just about the writing, either. It was a deeper transformation. He became much more confident and bold. He was inspiring and even intimidating in some ways. He wasn't the same person anymore. He took risks and wrote books and closed his business and moved his family halfway across the world. He's done so many things I couldn't imagine "2012 Bradley" doing. That he couldn't imagine actually doing. I barely recognize my old friend these days, and I'm glad. He realized his dream and became a professional writer. This book is only a small piece of the proof of that." -- John Muldoon, excerpted from the foreword to "Every Single Day"
