Advance Praise for A Happy Journey "We could all do with a little Larry in our lives. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. May you relish every word as I did." -Dr. Martha Lee, Clinical Sexologist, Eros Coaching, Singapore "The stories he shares are all around us; they are in everyone we meet and interact with.

Advance Praise for A Happy Journey "We could all do with a little Larry in our lives. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. May you relish every word as I did." -Dr. Martha Lee, Clinical Sexologist, Eros Coaching, Singapore "The stories he shares are all around us; they are in everyone we meet and interact with. Larry's true gift isn't the great friend he is or the fine example of an American that he is, but rather the storyteller, traveler, and humanist." -Captain Kurt Hummeldorf, DC, USN, Manassas, Virginia "Larry's book is provocative and captivating reading. He has an unusual power of observation, a love for people, and an enthusiasm for adventure." -Jacqueline Delaverdac DeMent, Kalamazoo, Michigan Part travelogue, part geography and history lesson, and all mixed with subtle humor, A Happy Journey captures the experiences of author Larry Welch. An expatriate living in Singapore and Thailand who traveled to many countries, Welch narrates tales about real people who seem to be a degree removed from the ordinary. The fifty-three vignettes, first appearing in his electronic column, "On the run ...," reflect humanity's rich diversity-from entertaining ghosts to riding camels to monkeys begging for peanuts on a hotel balcony in Malaysia.

Autorenporträt
Larry Welch was a resident of Hanoi for two years. In his first year he taught English with Horizon International Bilingual School; in his second year he wandered through North Vietnam meeting people, learning about culture, history and lifestyle, and taking photographs. Before employment in Vietnam he was an English teacher and vice principal with the Horizon International School in Rangoon, Burma and for two years he taught students at the Suankularb Wittayalai Rangsit School near Bangkok. When away from Thailand he continues contact with his students and has ties to the Full Moon Rubber Plantation at Nakhon Phanom. More recently, he has been a volunteer teacher with students at a small village school in Northeast Thailand. A veteran of only six years of teaching, it is his belief that it's impossible to have a bad day when surrounded by the good natured humanity that children bring to their classrooms.
