520    "Tom Lutz is on a mission to visit every country on earth.
       And the Monkey Learned Nothing contains reports from fifty
       of them, most describing personal encounters in rarely 
       visited spots, anecdotes from way off the beaten path. 
       Traveling without an itinerary and without a goal, Lutz 
       explores the Iranian love of poetry, the occupying Chinese
       army in Tibet, the amputee beggars in Cambodia, the hill 
       tribes on Vietnam's Chinese border, the sociopathic 
       monkeys of Bali, the dangerous fishermen and conmen of 
       southern India, the salt flats of Uyumi in Peru, and 
       floating hotels in French Guiana, introduces you to an 
       Uzbeki prodigy in the market of Samarkand, an Azeri rental
       car clerk in Baku, guestworkers in Dubai, a military 
       contractor in Jordan, cucuruchos in Guatemala, a 
       Pentecostal preacher in rural El Salvador, a playboy in 
       Nicaragua, employment agents in Singapore specializing in 
       Tamil workers, prostitutes in Colombia and the Dominican 
       Republic, international bankers in Belarus, a teacher in 
       Havana, border guards in Botswana, tango dancers in 
       Argentina, a cook in Suriname, a juvenile thief in Uruguay,
       voters in Guyana, doctors in Tanzania and Lesotho, scary 
       poker players in Moscow, reed dancers in Swaziland, young 
       camel herders in Tunisia, Romanian missionaries in 
       Macedonia, and musical groups in Mozambique. With an eye 
       out for both the sublime and the ridiculous, Lutz falls, 
       regularly, into the instant intimacy of the road with 
       random strangers"--|cProvided by publisher.
