Hitching Rides with Buddha by Will Ferguson

4.0

After living and teaching in southern Japan, Ferguson sets out to follow sakura (cherry blossoms) as they bloom from south to north, all while hitchhiking. When I read that Ferguson is a humorous travel writer, I was concerned that the work wouldn't have much weight. No worries! He's not just a smart ass, but he is also truthful. Through Ferguson, I came to know Japan and its people in ways I had not before.
