WARNING to British readers – This book has NOT been written by a celebrity and so may seem like total gaga.
Join Rowley in his light hearted and self-deprecating antics as he works his way around SE Asia, building communication towers on and off the beaten track. In Borneo he heads up river to remote jungle long-houses to provide the natives with internet access and something called porn. He avoids death on the towers from a variety of beasts, keeps the locals on their toes by blocking their roads with overturned cranes, and, with the help of Angus, his trusty Scottish sidekick, they manage to undo much of the respect the British have earned there over the last three hundred years. Thailand allows Rowley time to ponder Thai culture; from the exciting go-go bars of Bangkok to the loneliness of the north east, where he spends a year living in a two star hotel. Eventually he begins to enjoy life there until one of his beloved towers starts falling over and he resumes his “You are a worry man” mode. Sampling the highs and lows of Vietnamese life from internet dating and male toilet massage, to the misery of pouring concrete by night and wondering where his life went so wrong. In Cambodia he tours every province and is worshipped by his intimate team of young civil engineers, though it’s not they who finally bring him to a grinding halt with a variety of embarrassing ailments.
It’s not all humour and frolics. Rowley also gives a brief but interesting insight into the history of each location and the influence of the western world.

Erections in the Far East eBook David Rowley
A communication tower erection technician working in some of the world's most interesting places.Here you have a ground level (and tower level) view of a man living and working in various S.E.Asian locations. As an American in a foreign country, I find such writing of particular interest and enjoyment -- especially in this case. A fine bit of writing -- candid in detail, the good, the bad -- you feel you're actually living there. And viewed through the eye of a Brit, you can count on the British wit, dry humor, and keen observation -- even a well put and concise bit of historical context. And there you are with him -- the places, the work, the girlfriends.
Most enjoyable it is -- as if listening to it all over a beer at a bar in Bangkok, Saigon, or Phnom Penh. A great read, a great experience. It takes you there -- you won't want to come back.

Erections in the Far East eBook David Rowley Reviews
It's the funniest non-fiction that I've read in a while. It's fairly clean despite the title and it might even carry you away to a warmer place!
An enjoyable lightweight read from the perspective of someone who views SE Asia differently than that of a mere tourist or even travel writer. Perhaps a bit too much of the work aspect at times but the dry humour more than makes up for it.
"ERECTIONS IN THE FAR EAST" - It's about some chap erecting towers in Borneo, Cambodia, Thailand & Vietnam, and his mishaps along the way. It's a bit daft in parts but it's LOL stuff. Bought it on for a Christmas present, when the rest of the family read the review and a few pages they all now want a copy, that's the birthday presents sorted!!
