Read/skimmed this concise, useful guide in a day. It's possible to do all travel research on the internet now, but I still like using published travel guides as well. This one has some still-current recommendations for hotels and restaurants, as well as activities, and there's a helpful pronunciation guide (although, good luck) and a breakdown of what certain prefixes/suffixes mean. Plus, color photos and maps. This is a lightweight book that would be good to bring along when traveling. ( )
