Hitching Rides with Buddha by Will Ferguson

4.0

I read this while on vacation in Japan, so half of the appeal was seeing how his experiences matched up with what we were doing. The author followed the "cherry blossom front" as it advanced northwards through Japan, hitchhiking along the way. We were there in the spring, also following the cherry blossom front (but mostly taking trains). The book was very reminiscent of a Bill Bryson book in tone & style. Overall, a very enjoyable book.
