Advantages: Pratchetts take on the Orient
Disadvantages: not much
Get yourself to China! Or at least The Discworld equivalent known as The Aurient because gold (chemical symbol AU, Oh look a Chemistry related joke!) is incredibly common there.
Someone has written a very revolutionary book called "What I did on my holidays" and its inspiring some of the citizens of The Counterweight Continent who are of a mind that their leaders need to be replaced and its time for a revolution.
Sadly this revolution has been started by Rincewinds former associate (it'd be unfair to call him anything else) Twoflower but being the simple minded person he is he's not even aware he started a revolution.
Throw in Cohen The Barbarian & his Golden Horde (most of whom are so old they should be dead) and a teacher trying to teach them manners & etiquette to no avail.
With some magical travelling, barking dogs and extremely funny pictograms (urinating dog!) we get a Pratchett styled twist on the Land Of The Rising Sun.
Summary: Rincewind is back!
