Time Zones, Beer & Left-Handed Chopsticks: Your Travel Guide to Swing Kits, Used Appetizers, and the Toilet Tango

By Bruce Blanton

Business travel may sound like an adventure to those who don’t have to live it, however as author Bruce Blanton knows, unscripted scenarios come into play all the time — some thrilling and some down right bizarre!

Blanton shares some of his more unusual travel experiences in Time Zones, Beer, and Left-Handed Chopsticks. Readers will be treated to stories about excessively flatulent seatmates, “foreign” toilets, odd customs, used appetizers, and many other humorous misadventures.

Incredibly entertaining and remarkably well written, Time Zones, Beer, and Left-Handed Chopsticks is a must-read for travelers and non-travelers alike.

Bruce Blanton

After spending the summer of 1981 watching rejected semiconductor parts boil in cyanide as he sat the basement of a refinery, Bruce Blanton thought a career change at his current place of employment might be in order.He somehow managed to persuade his management to transfer him into an area where his “people” skills would be better utilized, and shortly thereafter he ended up in a training group.Over the past 30 years, his quick wit, dry humor, and sometimes hard to believe personal experiences have proved to be an integral training tool in each and every class taught.Bruce now lives in Gilbert, Arizona where he no longer spends most of his time traveling the world. But his memories of teaching classes and interacting with people of all cultures will live with him forever. It is his ability to “re-paint” his travel experiences in the mind of his readers that make his work humorous and unforgettable.
