surprisingly disappointing

I sure was expecting more from a Lonely Planet publication. As other reviewers wrote--most of these stories were boring and not well written. I gave it one shining star for the story by Ryan Ver Berkmoes! He wrote an interesting story with a few snide remarks scattered thru-out. His was the only story, really, fun to read.

boring - a huge disapponment

I am a regular reader and user of the Lonely Planet guidebooks for several Asian countries, and I love the way they are written and all the funny little comments and horror tales.

I expected this book to be full of hilarious stories from around the world, but it isn't. Most of these stories are boring and lame. The good ones don't justify paying money for this book. Several of the stories are poorly written.
