It's ok and here is why...

This was more of a reminder book than an "all you need to know" book. Most of this stuff, I was already aware of or it was like yeah that makes sense thanks for reminding me of that. Some of the websites were helpful and new but most I was already aware of. I give it a 3-4 star because of all that and I really don't feel any more confident then I did before I read the book. I was expecting more tricks, websites, hacks, whatever. It is a very easy read almost too easy like it was written for foreigners. Because it is short and a quick read, I would recommend browsing through it especially if you can get the free version. I would not pay for this book though. If you are really sheltered this will be a great start to understanding travel but if you have traveled even a little this may be too basic for you.

Pretty good beginners guide to traveling internationally. :)

Okay, so this book is pretty neat.

I'll go ahead and admit: I was expecting something a bit different based off of the title. But as I think about it, it would be rather tricky to provide a comprehensive travel guide for every location in the world. I'm also a little dubious on the '30$ a day'... especially in the US.

This book largely exists to give you, the reader, the tools you need to travel without spending too much. You will not learn how to walk down the street and find a cheap hotel room, but you will find dozens of tools and websites that exist to help you find cheaper accommodations and travel.

I think the book spends too much time praising the benefits of travel, and who travels etc... I could have done with parts of that edited away into a much smaller section, but it's only a few pages of a longer story.

The book is quite helpfully in helping the reader find ways to travel cheaply, though I'm not sure how useful Gofundme and Peacecorp will be for your average reader.

Publisher's Summary:

Hawaii is such a unique place and different from any other. The beaches, the people, and even its wonderful history. One thing that can't be neglected is the food!

Hawaii's food, history, culture, and people are so amazingly intertwined.

In this book, you will come to know some of the most loved foods, snacks, desserts, and dishes of all time in Hawaii. Some of them have even gotten national and worldwide recognition.

So whether you are looking to enjoy some of these foods on your next Hawaiian vacation, or somehow find a way to eat them where you are now, come and find out what these foods are in this book!

Members Reviews:

Pronunciation killed it!!!!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This was a short and concise summary of foods in Hawaii and the influence of other cultures. A very enjoyable topic BUT unfortunately, the pronunciation was abysmal and it was like nails on a chalk board!! I don't understand why readers don't take the time to learn just the basics of the words they need to pronounce when reading a book for AUDIBLE. I love audible books because I can do things while listening but this has to be the thing that is most frequently an irritation with books about foreign cultures. It is a common complaint in reviews and I reject books of interest based on people saying the pronunciation is bad. It is equivalent to an oral presentation when someone has a tic and scratches their ear every few seconds. You get distracted from the message. I can NOT concentrate on the flow of the dialogue when words are so OFF. I could make a long list for this short reading but the one that was hysterical and pitiful was POKE. It is not the same as COKE, the drink. It is PO--Kay. I don't expect perfect, I am a beginner in many languages but this was laughable and painful at the same time. Call me, I am free!! I will give your readers a brief one hour class in basic pronunciation for Hawaiian or Japanese or German or Spanish (that is all I can help you with) but even at my level I would not butcher it like this reader. Let's spare the next set of readers. Please redo this information that is of interest but have someone else read it. One of the greatest respects we can show other cultures is to pronounce the words of their language correctly. It is not about accent, it is about correct pronunciation---there is a difference. For Hawaiian pronunciation, contact one of the Hawaiian schools of language because they would gladly donate their time and are much better than me. Those of us that speak the English language would not like it if someone said "George BASH instead of George Bush". Now multiply that and mispronounce a word in almost every sentence. See what I mean???? Hard to concentrate on the message of the book. Good premise for the book but lost in the reading. I rarely write reviews but needed to share this---on the other hand I gave a review for WILD SWANS that was a 10 and if I could give more I would. Perfect pronunciation.

Would you recommend Hawaii Food Guide: Unique Foods from Hawaii You've Got to Try to your friends? Why or why not?

If you use this as a guide to speak the foods that you want while on your Hawaii vacation---you will stand out as a novice from the mainland.

Riepilogo Editore:

2008. Seimila chilometri a zigzag da Rovaniemi (Finlandia) a Odessa (Ucraina). Un percorso che sembra tagliare, strappare l'Europa occidentale da quella orientale. È una strada, quella di Rumiz, che tra acque e foreste, e sentori di abbandono, si snoda tra gloriosi fantasmi industriali, villaggi vivi e villaggi morti. Rumiz accompagna l'ascoltatore, con una voce profonda, ricca di intonazioni, per paesaggi inediti, segreti, struggenti di bellezza.

E più avanza, più ha la sensazione di non trovarsi su qualche sperduto confine ma precisamente al centro, nel cuore stesso dell'Europa. Attraversa dogane, recinzioni metalliche, barriere con tanto di torrette di guardia, vive attese interminabili e affronta severissimi controlli, ma come sempre conosce anche la generosità degli uomini e delle donne che incontra sul suo cammino: un pescatore di granchi giganti, prosperose venditrici di mirtilli, un prete che ha combattuto nelle forze speciali in Cecenia.

L'Europa in verticale

Rumiz ha un modo di raccontare che ad alcuni piace, ad altri dà fastidio. A me piace, ragiona per immagini, accosta frammenti.

Publisher's Summary:

In Northern California's Monterey Bay, a peculiar thing happens every time there's a storm. When wind and rain hit, a pond set back about 100 feet from the water's edge on the beach of Marina, California fills with sand. The sand is then dredged from the pond, to the tune of roughly 200,000 cubic yards, about 8 acres of land a year, and sold. This is the last remaining sand mine of its kind in the US - namely, a sand mine that takes its material directly from the beach.

A storm of a memoir

Exquisitely crafted, creatively rendered and a delight to listen to. In short, I Loved It!

Excellent travel memoir!

Would you listen to Good Morning Diego Garcia: A Journey of Discovery again? Why?

Yes. I have actually read the book before and still enjoyed experiencing it again-there are so many fascinating facts and information, it's certainly well worth listening to again. My ideal is for memoir authors to read their own audiobook really but I accept that time can be an issue-and maybe not having all the tech gear. I think this narrator was a good choice. The author is American, I've not heard her voice but I could imagine this narrator sounding very like her, her voice seemed to fit well. I liked her unhurried reading of this book and the emotions she conveyed. I wasn't so keen on her putting a lower voice on when reading the author's husband's comments-I prefer readers to continue in their natural voice throughout.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Good Morning Diego Garcia: A Journey of Discovery?

So many memorable moments but I think the way the author describes the foods they experienced on their trip, such vivid detail, is excellent.

Which character as performed by Karen Commins was your favourite?

I prefer her natural reading voice-as when she was reading the parts by Susan Joyce, and the general narration.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were many but particularly the latter few chapters where the author concludes everything-loose ends are all tied up and I found that all very moving how she deals with things and moves on-obviously I can't say what so as not to create any spoilers.

Any additional comments?

I have now read three books in audiobook format. Ive never been particularly keen to try audiobooks before listening to That One Moment by Amy Daws. There used to be a childrens TV programme in England called Jackanory when I was little-where a guest star-usually well-known, an actor etc. used to read a story out to viewers. I never liked this as I didnt like all the different voices which the narrator used to put on. I preferred to read a book myself. That One Moment completely changed my mind on audiobooks as it has duet narration-the male parts are read by a male and the female voices are done by a female.
