Went in to this book with an open mind and really gave it a try, but after reading 96 pages of constant moaning, backhanded comments and the author misconstruing everything that is said to him passing it off as 'wittyness', I can't possibly continue.

It can be hard for foreigners to fully integrate in Japan I don't need to read a whole book about it.

More fascinating travel stories and less moaning would've been ideal as the concept is great.

Started this book last night and I'm already hooked. An interesting concept trying to travel across a decidedly reserved country by means of hitchhiking. Lots of 'witty' observations throughout. Looking forward to continuing.
