by Leon Lui (Author)
Driven by his internal global positioning system, Leon Lui has always been game to go anywhere in the world, especially if it is on the other side of the mountain. Leon's passports are his pride and joy - every stamp tells a story or an adventure. With wit, forthrightness and a dauntless spirit, he navigates pitfalls and unexpected situations at airports and train stations, on aeroplanes and at destinations. Be it making a dash worthy of the Olympics up a plane in Nigeria with hundreds of locals following closely behind; confronting a dish of wheat worms offered by a client in China; discovering the invasion that his prized mud crabs had mounted on a baggage carousel in Singapore; escaping from Afghanistan by a hair's readth; or standing within point blank range of bank robbers in America, he sees the lighter side of travel and life. Take a trip around the world with The Other Side of the Mountain and share in Leon's laughter and astonishment along the way. His bagful of stories will awaken the travel instinct in you.

Leon Lui lives in Singapore with his wife, and they have two children and six grandchildren who live abroad. He is a certified diver and holds a private pilot licence. When he is not travelling around the world (he has been to all fifty states in the US and close to eighty different countries) or working, he likes to spend his time shooting the breeze with friends over good food and a cold beer, while thinking about where to travel next. Most of the time, he just enjoys living up to his reputation of being a funny guy and thus, a good entertainer.
