An irresistible view on the way to the white beaches in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, and The Philippines. The picture was taken from Batiancila Street by the author before he went into a Swedish bar, located exactly on the right side of the photo, studying a hopeless chess drawing position.

REVIEW
Fascinating, instructive, creatively multifaceted
That is the author Goeran B Johansson's debut novel. It is about Johan, who, after he has become a pensioner, feels lonely and bored in a small town in Sweden. With the help of dating sites on the Net, he finds opportunities to fill his life with meaning and adventure.
The author describes Johan's adventures in Southeast Asia, mainly in the Philippines, with partly shorter events interspersed with more extended descriptions of the people, culture, and exotic, sometimes passionate, and warm love encounters with the country's women he meets and starts relationships with.
We get to follow Johan on several trips to the land of many islands. Goeran B has a very empathetic and passionate language, and the love and eroticism that Johan encounters during his travels are described in an incomparably versatile and varied way.
All the erotic encounters depicted are mixed with the culture, living conditions, and people. Johan survives alone in dangerous situations and is robbed and exploited by beautiful but cunning women.
