How, you ask? The guy has the answer!

> Oi vey. The well-documented and well-recorded analysis about hokkaido culture being half-western and half-japanese in the sense that you have SOME Individuality but not complete individuality. the collectivity is in check over there but not to the point where its not present. many people who have analyzed the culture of hokkaido claim this is true, are you refuting that research?

On and his research consists of this book which he claims to have read and shown him the truth. He's never actually been to Hokkaido.

u/tefster · 7 pointsr/london

George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London and Jack London's People of the Abyss are good, but more narrative than story.

I also found London Under London interesting, that one is more a true-fact than true-story though.

u/cut-it · 7 pointsr/london

Yep.

This is a good book on this kind of stuff

u/DannyFlood · 6 pointsr/digitalnomad

I've been visiting / living in Thailand since 2011, it's a great place to be based in and live. I've traveled most of the country and provinces overland, much of it on a motorcycle, and probably seen as much of the country as anyone alive. I'm fluent in Thai and wrote a book on how to speak Thai: https://www.amazon.com/Speak-Thai-Easiest-Immediately-RocketPack-ebook/dp/B07DK6XT8P

If you think it only deserves two weeks you're only experiencing a very narrow slice of backpacker/tourist Thailand. Leave Khao San, Sukhumvit, Nimmanhamein etc.

Almost any country can be wonderful if you find the neighborhood you love to live in. I didn't like my first week in Seoul but when I discovered Jongno, I fell in love. Same with Kadikoy in Istanbul. In Bangkok I love Thonburi, it feels like home to me.

u/whoaitsben · 6 pointsr/Edmonton

There's really nothing too complicated about it. I assume you'll just be day-hiking, so just do some reading on bear safety, put some food, warmer clothes, and bear spray in your backpack, and start walking! Most official trails are well marked and difficult to get lost on. Hiking boots are nice, but absolutely not necessary.

These books are excellent resources and will tell you the basics, as well as the goods on all the trails:

Classic Hikes in the Canadian Rockies - Graeme Pole

Canadian Rockies Trail Guide - Brian Patton & Bart Robinson

You could also join the Alpine Club of Canada. They do a lot of organized trips, with a focus on mountaineering and climbing. There is also an Edmonton Hiking group on meetup.com that does lots of walks in the River Valley with the occasional planned trip to the mountains.

Note that most trails will be snow covered until later than you might think (late June/early July) - check here for trail reports for the mountain parks.

If you need anything else, please feel free to PM me.

u/FlyCola · 5 pointsr/maui

No problem. I love helping people who travel to Hawaii, I've only been twice. Will be (late) honeymooning there this April too actually but will be in Kauai first.

This was the book I was referring to -
https://www.amazon.com/Maui-Revealed-Guidebook-Andrew-Doughty/dp/0996131884/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Forgot to mention but all my experience is from 2016 so not too old (info) but I don't really think it changed all that much.

u/jjackrabbitt · 3 pointsr/HawaiiVisitors

Can't speak to your Oahu itinerary, but I can provide my two cents on Maui.

Day 6: We did the Old Lahaina Luau and it was great, very highly rated. So if you haven't already booked Lele, I'd compare the two.

Day 8: As for Haleakala, you don't need a tour, assuming you have a rental car. ~~Just drive up the mountain and grab a spot. Start~~ ~~early,~~ ~~though. There's usually a line of cars winding their way up in the wee hours of the morning to catch the sunrise. There's a fee to get into the National Park, but that's all.~~ There's also some hiking you could check out up there. EDIT: I've learned from other commenters here that you do need a reservation, my apologies! More information here.

Day 9: We didn't do any whale watching but did take a snorkeling cruise to Lanai with Trilogy. I'd highly recommend the company — very professional, great service and an all-around good time. And they also have whale watching.

Day 10: We didn't use an app for Road to Hana, simply picked out what we wanted to see ahead of time and made adjustments along the way. Again, start early. If tour buses are catching up to you, things will start getting real crowded real quick.

I'd actually encourage some open days to just chill, so your whole trip is not go go go. But you could fill in part of one of your days with snorkeling at Honolua Bay or check out the Maui Ocean Center.

Day 13: Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm is cool, but we found it to be an hour's diversion at best. YMMV, of course. Mama's Fish House is dooope!

And I'd say Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook is worth a purchase.

u/DJWhamo · 3 pointsr/Libertarian

In terms of preexisting islands, there are plenty of places which wouldn't mind selling the land to you (in the same way you could buy a small island in, say, the Great Lakes)...but giving up sovereignty would be another matter entirely. And in the history of "micronations", even if you were able to manage that, you very likely wouldn't be afforded the same protections other nations have if and when the former owners decide for whatever reason to renege on the deal and take the land back by force. In terms of man-made islands, the UN passed a resolution a few decades ago to the effect that any landmass, natural or man-made, which has not already claimed by a recognized sovereign nation, and is in international waters, would automatically default to the jurisdiction of the nearest sovereign country. Since the concept I linked to above wouldn't technically be a LANDmass, the people behind it reasoned they'd be exempt from said resolution. Here's a couple of related books, if you're interested:
http://www.amazon.com/Micronations-General-Reference-John-Ryan/dp/1741047307/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1254563140&amp;sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/How-Start-Your-Own-Country/dp/1581605242/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1254563185&amp;sr=1-1

u/darknessvisible · 2 pointsr/IWantToLearn

The best resource for learning spoken Japanese I have come across is the Michel Thomas Method CDs. It's so easy and doesn't feel like "studying" at all. And if you get started now you will have such a massive head start on your classmates next semester.

u/denpanosekai · 2 pointsr/montreal

Montreal: The Unknown City. Sadly I've never seen it in a local bookstore, but your local library might have it?

u/nugohs · 2 pointsr/EarthPorn

Get yourself a copy of this:

Handbook of the Canadian Rockies

Though this one does cover a lot more than just the geology..

u/elzadra1 · 2 pointsr/montreal

Matthew an author, nudism advocate, and the moderator of the nudism subreddit. His book How to Take Your Clothes Off: A Guide to Nudism for the Interested Beginner is available on Amazon for $3.99 (and I highly recommend it). Aside from his book, we talked about: how he got into moderating the nudism subreddit; the future of nudism; the importance of joining local and national organizations (even if you don’t attend their events); updating the narrative and presentation of modern-day clothes-freedom; women in nudism; and vulnerability.

u/revenueperadventure · 2 pointsr/stopdrinking

The two prerequisites are a mobile income and a spirit of adventure. It really is a next-level move though made possible by remote work arrangements. Basically, if you make dollars and spend pesos, you can live like a king. For more information, check out this quick read called "A Gringo's Guide on Moving to Mexico" - https://www.amazon.com/Gringo-Guide-Moving-Mexico-Everything-ebook/dp/B07VBZ5D98

u/ImbaGreen · 2 pointsr/EarthPorn

If you come to Banff National Park I would recommend grabbing this book. https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Rockies-Trail-Guide-Patton/dp/0981149189

Lot's of amazing day and multi-day. Their are so many hiking trails in the area, but most people will stick to the major ones.

u/canudian1 · 2 pointsr/nudism

That's cool - I totally support reading what you like! I did write some stuff involving non-sexual public nudity, but it doesn't stay that way so I'm not going to post it here.

I did however also publish a book on "nudism for the interested beginner" - it might not be at the level you're looking for but I think it's a good beginner's guide to naturism.

u/dfordata · 2 pointsr/canada

My favorite is https://www.amazon.ca/Handbook-Canadian-Rockies-Ben-Gadd/dp/0969263112

It has very detailed writing of the geological history, ecology and zoology of the Canadian rockies.

u/bramadamdam · 2 pointsr/Banff

https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Canadian-Rockies-Ben-Gadd/dp/0969263112 A monster of a book, but it's an amazing resource. At the end of June, you will still run into snow at higher elevations, like passes. I'm not sure how backcounty you are planning on going, but unbridged rivers can also be a major issue at this point in the season. Lots of melting snow means fast, cold, deep, murky water.
When it comes to booking backcountry sites, the good ones tend to book up quickly. They key is to look for the "undesirable" ones. These are the ones that are not on a well-known loop and are a LONG day's hike to get to. For example, Flint's Park. If you go even further, random camping is permitted.
Buy bear spray, know how to use it. Learn how to look for signs of bears. Digs, poop, prints, etc. Announce your presence, especially one moving from one area to another. Crossing water, moving from forest to meadow or vice versa. Cook and store food/smelly things in an area separate from where you camp.

u/Caliquake · 2 pointsr/kauai

Get the book The Ultimate Kaua'i Guidebook: Kaua'i Revealed. It is just fantastic and has everything you need to know. There is an iphone app too!

Also there are several local car rental companies that sometimes are way cheaper than the big companies. We had a great experience with Gingerbread Car Rentals (http://cars-kauai.com/) but we've also rented from Enterprise. http://kauairentacar.com/ is good too.

u/BeefChalupa · 2 pointsr/disney

Head to your local bookstore and pick up (I think it's just 10 bucks) the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2012, it should be mostly white with a thick red border near the bottom.

I'm 28 but I'm a bit obsessed with Disney from all the amazing memories I had as a kid, so when my (now fiance') and I went there with some friends and I proposed, I wanted to make the most of it. That book is AMAZING. Just the little interesting facts you can learn about the parks while finding out what to skip and what to miss (I really only read it for the Park-specific info and the restaraunts, the rest is sort of obvious) made a world of difference. I'm sure at times my "tour guide" comments were less interesting to everyone else than they were to me, but the connection the book gives you to the parks really enriches the experience.

It's the little things that you start to notice that just make the entire experience feel more magical. Dumb little things like how aside from the castle, the park is designed to keep you from being able to see the other "Lands" so you become more immersed in the one you in; or how the railings are painted green because your mind tunes them out that way, or even something really dumb like.. there is a trash can every 30 steps because Walt Disney sat at other theme parks and watched to see how far someone would walk before just dropping trash on the ground. Turns out, it was 30 steps.

Link to what the guide looks like - (http://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-Guide-Disney-World-Guides/dp/111801233X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1344268835&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=guide+to+walt+disney+world+2012)

u/Owlie · 2 pointsr/Hawaii

Not really. Just take the leap and invest money on a guide book. Much of the information online about Hawaii is just advertising material in disguise . . . you might have good luck finding something, but I've never had good luck.

Maybe the travel wiki for Hawaii?

u/etalasi · 2 pointsr/MapPorn

This map is from page 23 of Lonely Planet's book on micronations.

u/et80 · 2 pointsr/kauai

I'm not a local but here are some highlights from our last trip.

Ho'opi'i Falls - Parking in residential area and is limited, probably about 2 miles in to the second set of falls with rope swing. Hike up and over then down steep cliff to get to the bottom, its worth it.
Queen's Bath - Crazy muddy and slippery hike but not far. We just did it barefoot. Not much parking, go early. Amazing little pool to swim in, cliff jumping, swimming with big sea turtles. Highly recommend.
Kalalau Trail to Hanakapiai beach - One of the prettiest hikes in Kauai. Awesome beach at the end. Bring water. Trail can get muddy and slippery when its been raining.
Napali Coast - Sunset cruise. Its pretty amazing.

Also like mentioned by u/nocknockwhosthere, Kauai Revealed is worth the money and has pretty much everything you need.

u/disgustipated · 2 pointsr/CampingandHiking

I really enjoyed reading "Skywalker: Close Encounters on the Appalachian Trail".

u/simgooder · 1 pointr/britishcolumbia

There are a few in and around Nakusp. It's worth picking up this book for some hidden gems!
I found a 1976 version at a book store in Kelowna a decade or so ago, and spent a couple summers hunting them down. It's a great book, and there are some wicked spots around!
Good luck.

u/MadFlava76 · 1 pointr/EarthPorn

We bought this book for our Amazon Kindle App and used as a guide to find all these cool off the beaten track places on Maui. Especially on the Road to Hana.

https://www.amazon.com/Maui-Revealed-Guidebook-Andrew-Doughty/dp/0996131884/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=maui+guidebook&link_code=qs&qid=1565370116&s=gateway&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-3

If you like to try an insane amount of fruit at once. Set up a tasting and tour at Ono Organic Farms. I fell in love of Maui mangoes here and it ruined all other mangoes for me.http://www.onofarms.com/

If you love poke, you will find some of the best in regular local grocery stores. Just ask the locals and they will point you to the best places to go. It will be cheaper and taste as good if not better than the overpriced versions in the tourist trap restaurants.

u/swordgeek · 1 pointr/alberta

Yeah, you should not be walking into the backcountry randomly - those are the people who get carried out - sometimes alive, sometimes not.

Grab a trail guide (I've used Brian Patton's guide for decades), and plan a modest overnighter. Aim for 10-12km each way, and figure out what you need to take. Expect that you'll get terrible weather, understand that carrying 50lb on your back is going to crush you when climbing hills, and imagine cooking over a tiny burner with half-numb hands. I'd say get a book on hiking as well - The Complete Walker used to be fantastic, but I'm sure there are others out there.

Maybe as a run-up, do a few day trips. Head up to a pass and back down, something under 20km round trip. With a day-pack, you'll get an appreciation for how long that is, at least. And you'll also get to see just how gorgeous the high country is.

u/TouchMyOranges · 1 pointr/videos

I've been on vacation to Kauai, Maui, and Oahu many times and Maui is by far the best to be a tourist on if you want to do more than just sit on the same beach for the entire time you are there. Oahu has way too many people on the beaches. Kauai is really beautiful but there are barely any people if you want to do something during the night. If your parents are retired they will love Kauai (As long as they can still move around easily) but I would recommend going to Maui for vacation.
P.S: get a guidebook for Maui and Kauai since there are a ton of small beaches that are truly amazing

u/WhaleMeatFantasy · 1 pointr/LearnJapanese

You're not just going to be able to guess/work it out/get an answer in even a long reddit post.

Are you actually studying Japanese? You need a self-study book at the very least (many people recommend the Genki series) or, if you just want to dabble, look at the Pimsleur or Michel Thomas audio series. Another fun approach you may enjoy is Japanese the Manga Way.

It's well worth making the effort. Good luck!

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/AskReddit

The Old Lahaina Luaua is very good. Kinda pricey, but it's all you can eat/drink, so...

Anyway, this is the guidebook I mentioned:

http://www.amazon.com/Maui-Revealed-Guidebook-Andrew-Doughty/dp/0971727996/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Looks like you can get it extremely cheap. Highly recommended.

I went for two weeks in 2006, spending one week on Oahu and one on Maui. I stayed in the Mariott hotel right on Waikiki beach and I highly recommend it. As for restaurants, I don't remember many of them, but the Cheeseburger in Paradise was a pretty cool place. As for things to do I recommend this guidebook. It contains anything you could conceivably do on the island, including reviews of many restaurants.

How long will you be at WDW? If you're there multiple days, are you staying on-property?

The book The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World has a lot of good strategies and is well worth the money, especially if none of you have been to Walt Disney World before.

Some tips, no particular order:

The parks are most crowded in the early afternoon. If you're staying on property, a good strategy is to get to the parks very early, then go back to the hotel for a mid-day siesta (naptime, hang out at the pool for a couple of hours, whatever), and then go back to the parks for an afternoon/evening shift. I've found that this is really, really helpful with small children.
Magic Kingdom is usually the most crowded park, and it gets super-crowded on weekends. If your schedule permits, try to avoid Magic Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday.
Get the parade schedule, and try to hit popular rides/attractions just before and during parades-- the lines will be shorter. It's going to be hard for your kids to see much at the street parades, so I would avoid them. The night-time electric boat parade on the lake at Epcot is much easier to see, if your family can stay up that late.
Since you've got three adults, you have the option of rotating coverage with the kids. Try to find a few windows where one adult can stay with the kids (maybe do It's a Small World...again, or play on the playground in Toontown), while the other two adults run off and do a "tall people only" ride.

u/kairisika · 1 pointr/Calgary

There are zero natural hot spring locations that you can comfortably day-trip from Calgary.

Alberta does not have much in the way of hot springs. There are the couple around Banff, none of which have much water, and none in which you can soak, and there's the Mist Mountain warm spring, which has a wee tiny pool-ish.

The Rocky Mountain geology is simply not conducive to the formation of hot springs. You need to go further, into the Columbia, Kootenay, and Purcell for that.
Cross into BC, and it's hotsprings everywhere. You have your classic Radium, Ainsworth and such pool facilities, a few middle-ground like Lussier Hot Springs which are semi-built, but not turned into a swimming pool, and piles of even more obscure ones with varying amounts of build-up, some of which you must hike to.
Pick up Hot Springs of Western Canada from MEC or the public library for a solid overview.

I'll also second dec92010's recommendation for A Walk in the Woods.
