I really liked Tony Davis' "Exactly as I Remember" because of the Japan connection. Been there, felt his frustration, but I also know the incredible personal rewards once you succeed.
Also liked Peter Moore's "Same Same but Different" because I love his stuff, and he captured well the ideosyncracies of SE Asia. I liked "Be It Ever So Humble..." and "China Ghosts" for different reasons. THe former was about an Australian making NY home, and it was interesting to see my hometown as viewed through the eyes of an Australian. The latter was about an Australian born Chinese going to China to find the China her father always talked about, and those stories always interest me.
The other stories weren't as bad, just weren't as engaging. In "Global Empire of the Heart" the main characters were very whiny and it was hard to identify with them, nothing was going to please them.
In all, not a bad book. Not as good of a collection as some other travel ones I've read, but not bad. ( )
