Reviews
"""A general travelogue of places, peoples, and cultures remaining relatively untouched by the more hoi polloi tourist, this diary of personal anecdotes, conversations, and rendezvous with individuals from an eclectic miscellany of tribes and sub societies is topically categorized into six tours representing geographical regions within Taiwan proper."" ""This is not one of those ""idiot in a foreign country"" travelogues. Gary always knows more than something about the people, the trees & plants, and the geography of each place he visits."" ""Overall, the book offers a great deal of insight into Taiwanese society, history, culture, as well as its island's scenic geography, to someone like myself who knew absolutely nothing of the place beforehand."""

This is not one of those idiot in a foreign country travelogues. Gary always knows more than something about the people, the trees & plants, and the geography of each place he visits.
