"An utterly charming and engaging travel book that offers vivid portraits of unusual corners of Asia, told by a skilled raconteur whose eyes were open wide." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

Warned by a Hong Kong fortune-teller not to risk flying for an entire year, Tiziano Terzani--a vastly experienced Asia correspondent--took what he called "the first step into an unknown world. . . . It turned out to be one of the most extraordinary years I have ever spent: I was marked for death, and instead I was reborn."

Traveling by foot, boat, bus, car, and train, he visited Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Geography expanded under his feet. He consulted soothsayers, sorcerers, and shamans and received much advice--some wise, some otherwise--about his future. With time to think, he learned to understand, respect, and fear for older ways of life and beliefs now threatened by the crasser forms of Western modernity. He rediscovered a place he had been reporting on for decades. And reinvigorated himself in the process.

Kids like them
Size: 2 Pound
These are a good buy for a classroom goody jar. They are peanut free and gluten free. Although the Amazon bag did say processed in a factory that handles peanuts.

Flavor distribution could be better
Size: 2 Pound
I receive Spravato treatments, and the taste is nasty. Fruit candy is a good way to get rid of it. I discovered that the tropical fruit punch flavor was best at it. Unfortunately, the clinic switched to a different kind of suckers and kept them poorly stocked, so I bought my own. Two pounds of suckers and not a single tropical fruit punch! Lots of mango and orange, which also work well, but in two pounds, you'd think there'd be some of every flavor.
