Neu Wee Teck
Singapore: Ethos Books, 2012
ISBN: 9789810731366
A Whole Neu World is an engaging account of Neu Wee Teck's (mis)adventures in Laos and his encounters with its lovely people during his stint as a volunteer teacher with the Singapore International Foundation. Besides his official assignment of teaching English to government officials in Vientiane, he managed to find time to chew bamboo larvae and duck out of drinking duck blood in the mountains of north-eastern Laos, fend off the matchmaking attempts of a noodle seller, help out at village schools, and organise the first Laos-Singapore Charity Run. Wee Teck shows that, sometimes, taking a leap of faith into the unknown is indeed the best way to grow – spiritually, professionally and, not least, horizontally.
