Is everything really better in Japan? Cristian Martini Grimaldi, freelance journalist who has been living in Japan for almost a decade, decides to explore if this is really the case. This book is the English version of his Bestseller “In Giappone lo fanno meglio?” (with many extra chapters added) . The idea for this work started from a simple observation. Japan is more idealized than actually experienced. As a young American student disappointed by his life in the Rising Sun once confessed to the author: “For years I have looked at Japan from afar and I thought it was the perfect ...

This photo based tour of the Philippines includes a mini-guide to animals, food, shopping, and scenic shots from around the Philippines and tourist locations (such as the Banaue rice terraces.)

I've included a few Tagalog words (with their English equivalents) and over 75 photos with brief descriptions.

Love in the Philippines: What You Must Know Before Sending That Money Due to the sensitive nature of this book, the description must be cryptic and cautious. Even the most detailed investigative report, crude and sometimes amusing, has layers of interpretation, but it’s all here, as real as it gets. Attention and consideration is all you need, especially if you have mixed feelings.

White Styrofoam packets surround their gnarly trunks, and you might notice the distinct odour of incense, rising from a red wooden altar. What are the origins of these tree shrines? Why do people worship these seemingly ordinary trees? What is its connection to 4-D?

For most, the name 'Lucky Plaza' alone is inseparable from its association with the local Filipino community; to say the words 'Lucky Plaza' is to mean 'Little Manila'. It's a place most Singaporeans would rarely think to visit, other than as another place to eat at when in Orchard Road (and even then, this is limited to either the ayam penyet restaurants or the famous yong tau foo joint on the sixth floor). But going around with a guide makes all the difference.

BESTSELLER travelogue mixes it up on the Asian Trail in a voice that's by turns personal, passionate and ohhhh so very soulful. "So I get up at dawn and marvel at fog burning off into mist tumbling down like the finest mosquito netting of silk. The hills beyond the rivers' confluence, like shoulders of a woman undressing, the way the misty shroud lifts off feminine curves, higher and higher ...

By turns literarily pathbreaking and intimate, this smorgasbord of travel essays scales down ...

Insieme a Jean-Paul Sartre, nel 1955 Simone de Beauvoir viaggiò per sei settimane attraverso la Cina, invitata dal governo cinese. Da quell'esperienza nacque La lunga marcia (1957), un ricco resoconto del grande paese asiatico e dei cambiamenti che il comunismo vi stava portando. Tra visite minuziosamente organizzate e libere passeggiate, conferenze ufficiali e spontanee conversazioni, vestigia del passato e realizzazioni del presente, de Beauvoir fissa sulla pagina un periodo storico di rapida transizione, in cui "è impossibile fermarsi nell'istante".
