Living and Working in the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia Book

This book was given to me as a gift upon beginning my journey as an American teaching English in Turkey. Convenient, right? Needless to say, I was very excited to read it, hoping to learn from his experiences as I prepared myself for a year of the unknown. You can imagine my disappointment when I found this book to be insufferable to get through. I had to put it down a couple of times, unable to handle large doses of cringe-worthy "humor." Furthermore, I found that the narrative lacked culture, something that Turkey is rich in. The stories seemed intriguing at first but as they developed, I found them boring and predictable. I'm glad I read it. However, it certainly didn't do anything for me as a guest in Turkey nor as someone in his same position.
