Running a Hotel on the Roof of the World Five Years in Tibet

Few foreigners have been lucky enough to live in Tibet - Alex Le Sueur spent five extraordinary years there, as Marketing Manager for the Lhasa Holiday Inn. Against the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, he unfolds a hilarious account of his experiences. Fly infestations at state banquets, hopeful mountaineers, unexpected deliveries of live snakes, a predominance of yaks and everything yak-related, the unbelievable Miss Tibet competition, insurmountable communication problems and a dead guest are just some of the events to be found at the Fawlty Towers of Lhasa (not to mention the Himalayan hamsters).
