The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial PacificAt the age of twenty six, Maarten Troost who had been pushing the snooze button on the alarm clock of life by racking up useless graduate degrees and muddling through a series of temp jobs decided to pack up his flip flops and move to Tarawa, a remote South Pacific island in the Republic of Kiribati. He was restless and lacked direction, and the idea of dropping everything and moving to the ends of the earth was irresistibly romantic. He should have
At the age of twenty-six, Maarten Troost--who had been pushing the snooze button on the alarm clock of life by racking up useless graduate degrees and muddling through a series of temp jobs--decided to pack up his flip-flops and move to Tarawa, a remote South Pacific island in the Republic of Kiribati. He was restless and lacked direction, and the idea of dropping everything and moving to the ends of the earth was irresistibly romantic. He should have known better. The Sex Lives of Cannibals tells the hilarious story of what happens when Troost discovers that Tarawa is not the island paradise he dreamed of. Falling into one amusing misadventure after another, Troost struggles through relentless, stifling heat, a variety of deadly bacteria, polluted seas, toxic fish--all in a country where the only music to be heard for miles around is "La Macarena." He and his stalwart girlfriend Sylvia spend the next two years battling incompetent government officials, alarmingly large critters, erratic electricity, and a paucity of food options (including the Great Beer Crisis); and contending with a bizarre cast of local characters, including "Half-Dead Fred" and the self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of Tarawa (a British drunkard who's never written a poem in his life). With The Sex Lives of Cannibals, Maarten Troost has delivered one of the most original, rip-roaringly funny travelogues in years--one that will leave you thankful for staples of American civilization such as coffee, regular showers, and tabloid news, and that will provide the ultimate vicarious adventure.Binding Type: Paperback

Every kitchen needs one of these!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Whoever designed this is absolutely brilliant!! I have had so many sponge holders that either sit on the edge of the sink and make a big huge mess or they’re attached to the inside of the sink with suction cups and they fall off and they get in the way. This one is absolutely perfect. It has a little tray built-in on a slant so when you set your sponge or whatever in there, the water runs down back into the sink. No more water puddling on the sink running onto the counter. This drains it right back in the sink automatically I am thrilled with this sponge holder !! It’s a nice color and very well-made. It’s metal but the drain tray is a hard plastic , which is fantastic because then it won’t rust. I am all about making things in life easier and this sponge holder not only looks great , it will eliminate cleaning up messes off the side of the sink. I posted a picture with water running into the sponge holder and it shows how the water runs down into the sink… It holds various sizes of sponges. It’s got a little area for a brush .I have a couple of my smiley sponges ( no names mentioned ) that fit in there perfectly.. every kitchen should have one of these without a doubt!!!

Adequate sponge organizer
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a black matte metal sponge organizer. It does have a tilted drip tray so the water drips down into your sink. The metal is cheap but effective. For the price, the added organization you get from this item is worth it! Could also be used in a bathroom. There is no mounting hardware included, not even adhesives.
The metal is already warped out of the box. This is not a high quality item, but the price is fair!

Slim, Stylish, and Perfect for Keeping Counters Organized
Size: B 1PCS, Color: Black
I love the slim, compact size of this organizer. It takes up much less counter space while still offering the perfect amount of compartmentalization for keeping everything neat and easy to find. The material is a big plus since it won’t rust, and it looks really nice on my countertop. It definitely helps my counter look less cluttered and more organized. Overall, a great functional and attractive storage solution.
