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 ...

The inspiration for this book came from a thought that deeply intrigued me – what if an alien visited Japan, seeking to understand the life here? Where would I, who have been living in this country for over ten years, take him? Perhaps on a tour of a typical corporate office, presenting him with “the average day in the life of a salaryman”, would this be enough to capture the essence of Japanese life? Certainly not.

The authors tell how they grew up in China, met in India and were reunited in England and Japan. They share their discovery of the key to reconciliation between China and Japan.

You Need This Guide to Tokyo. You've probably already got a phone full of screenshots and maybe even one of those... other travel guides. You know the ones. The ones that tell you where to spot a geisha (good luck with that ) or act like Shibuya Crossing is the only thing happening (spoiler: it's not ). Bless their Crocs. Those generic guides barely scratch the surface, leaving you with a flat-pack version of what this city truly offers. They miss the textures, the quirks, and the sheer, delightful weirdness that makes Tokyo, well, Tokyo. This isn't just a list of places photocopied from a ...

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.

After suffering through a nightmare in the post Khmer Rouge era of Cambodia, a handsome young American finds himself desiring to return to the country years later in an overwhelming desire to defy his fears.

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.) This mini-guide won't cover Manila and mainly focuses on the north (Baguio, La Union, and Pangasinan.) I've included a few Tagalog words (with their English equivalents) and over 75 photos with brief descriptions.

Vietnam is not only a nation — it is a story of survival etched in rice paddies, temples, and revolution. Echoes and Empires: The History of Vietnam is a sweeping, human-scale journey through one of Asia’s most resilient civilizations. Spanning over 4,000 years, this is not just the history of a country — it’s the story of a people who have endured foreign conquest, cultural upheaval, colonization, war, and renewal, yet have never lost their identity or voice.
