Japan: True Stories of Life on the
Road (Travelers Tales)
Like A A Japanese Meal
Japan, with its old and ever-changing heart and soul, simultaneously
astonishes, delights, and frustrates travelers. Visit the place of tranquil
temples, exquisite ancient inns and lurid love hotels, where electric baths
sit beside indoor ski slopes and cheery blossoms fall on kindly
grandmothers, cynical salarymen, wise monks, and wild lovers alike.
Personal Review: Japan: True Stories of Life on the Road
(Travelers Tales)
Small portions, but so many courses.This book, consisting of lots of
extracts from other peoples writing, serves as a good introduction to the
nature of Japan. From the serious to lighthearted, most tales consist of
people trying to understand, to reason and just plain survive in a foreign
country that seems a little familiar yet very foreign. Stories from groups that
consider cleaning toilets a ritual to stolen bikes and strange food.Each tale

is a few pages long. Sometimes either a whole magazine article or chapter
from a book, but complete in itself. One feature I liked was small boxed
inserts on some pages from another writer which complimented or
highlighted the story you were reading. At the end of each tale is an extra
excerpt from someone else's story on the same topic. There's a little bit
here for everyone.
