A Geek in Japan: Discovering the Land of Manga, Anime, Zen, and the Tea Ceremony by Héctor García Puigcerver
adventurous
informative
slow-paced
3.0
It started out alright but became painfully slow by the end. I was treating it like a chore because it had been lent by a friend and wanted to give it back, but gods, it hurt to get to the end and even then I had to do a fair bit of skimming by the end.
Will give it credit for the intel on festivals. Otherwise I would never have known we were in Japan for a rather important local festival.
Early cultural sections were much better than the history of, say, manga or movies.
Very repetitive in some sections, too.
