Condición: New. Originally published as Hokkaido Highway Blues, with limited distribution in Canada, Will Ferguson's classic book about Japan, for all fans of the bestselling Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw. With the same fervor they have for outlandish game shows and tiny gadgets, the Japanese go nuts each spring when the cherry blossoms sweep from island to island towards the country's northerly tip. Will Ferguson was celebrating the event in a standard fashion. And after way too much sake he announced he would be the first person in recorded history to follow the blossom's progress end to end. To make it a challenge worth doing, he'd hitchhike all the way: relying on the kindness of some very weird and wonderful strangers. Mixing his penchant for biting observation with wicked humor, Ferguson starts at the southernmost tip of Cape Sata and heads north for distant Hokkaido. Whether he is doing the forbidden and not knowing it, or holding conversations by non sequitur," it is a journey full of misadventures and revelations.

And so on. Now, I will admit that mooching rides across Japan is not a major achievement. I mean, it's not like I paddled up the Amazon or discovered insulin or anything but I am the first person ever to do this, so allow me my hubris. When I left my home in Minamata City aboard a southbound train, I felt suitably bold with my backpack and muscular thumb. I'm going to hitchhike the length of Japan, I told the man beside me. He smiled and nodded. I'm going to follow the cherry blossoms.? He nodded. All the way to Russia, I said. He smiled again, and soon after changed seats from Hitching Rides with Buddha About the Author: The author/co-author of 8 books of non-fiction and one novel, Will Ferguson is one of Canada's bestselling writers.…
