The Foreign Bastard: Based on a True Migrant's Story
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
Koko is a migrant worker who thinks that he is clever enough to outsmart his employers and other people who do business with them. But the issue of culture shock or difference, a different civilisation, lifestyle and level of technology will certainly implicate him and disrupt his effort.
The Foreign Bastard is the verdict of the foreign environment he finds himself in, as he gradually navigates his way to survival and adaptation.
