Description de l’éditeur

Talk about a culture shock!

It's 1998. The year that Google was founded, Viagra was approved by the FDA, France won the World Cup and Titanic won Best Picture at the 70th Academy Awards.

It's also the year that 29-year-old Reuben Miranda bravely departed his (hot) home country of Malaysia with British wife 'L' to live and work in dear old (freezing cold) Blighty!

He has no idea how differently the British hospitality industry compares to his restaurant/hotel experiences in Singapore. Nor is he prepared for the colourful characters – the good, the bad, the lazy, AND the downright ugly – he meets during his regular 15-hour-plus shifts in busy hotels.

Reuben's work family sadly become his only family in Britain when his extra long hours at work take their toll on his personal life. But his upbeat personality, resilience, and solid work ethic keep him on the right side of happy … most of the time.

Join him as he copes with the wonderful British seasons, LOTS of drunk party guests, sensitive fire alarms, and surreal duty manager shenanigans. And discover the darker side of working in the hospitality industry – from the overworked and underpaid staff to cruel customers who have no idea how to treat those intent on serving them.

Be prepared for laughter, fun, mischief, maybe a few tears and plenty of OMG moments as you journey through A Malaysian Abroad.
