And the Seattle gum wall! Who doesn't want to see that???? And Jupiter's moon IIo? I'd go see that too.
So, the author and This is such a funny book! We do agree that being stuck in a small airport anywhere in China is not fun. Been there, done that. Sep 19, Meaghan rated it liked it Shelves: read-in , travel. The concept was very good here but the execution less so; this book was not as interesting or as funny as I hoped it would be. Several of the "places to see" listed don't actually exist, and some of those that do are impossible to travel to for example, one of Jupiter's moons.
This book might be worth a browse, though, for some of the places it mentions like the Tupperware Museum.
Jul 27, Eric rated it liked it. I was kinda disappointed by this book. The author is very funny, but it just didn't feel like she worked very hard. It just seemed easy: easy jokes, loose concept, and a lack of focus.
Judging by the occasional quality of her work, she should do better. Dec 24, Denicemarcell added it. Thanks Stacy! Some of these things are impossible to do, the rest I probably will continue to avoid.
Jan 05, Mary rated it liked it. This was a fun read for the plane, although I disagree with many of her overrated places. Not to see the Corn Palace? Dec 26, Kevin Costain rated it it was ok. This might be a good read while on a trip somewhere.
You could sit there, basking in the glow of some warm-place resort reading a book about unusual travel experiences.
Fair enough. Chapter 12 itself contains only one sentence. Exhausted and cranky, one by one we began refusing to play monk. If one of the whole points of Buddhism was to cultivate acceptance, why, I asked, did we have to go through such an elaborate meal ceremony? The Venezuelan couple went a step further: they left. This, frankly, reflects badly on the person in the story, presumably the author. Aug 22, Bajidc rated it it was amazing. A perfect choice for your travels. The book is slim but jam-packed with gut-busting, eye-opening, and stomach-turning anecdotes and trivia.
Each entry makes whatever trials and tribulations you may experience on your adventures seem small. Schaden A perfect choice for your travels. Schadenfreuders rejoice! The Super Speedboats, which visitors often rammed into one another, shared a pond with a healthy population of water snakes.
The Aqua Scoot gave people head lacerations. And then there was the Cannonball Loop slide - and enclosed waterslide that ended with a roller coaster-esque loop-de-loop. Filled with places you can actually visit and plenty of places you can't one of Jupiter's moons , Places NOT is a funny look at tourist attractions, restaurants, parks, and other places you might consider visiting.
Plus, you might even learn something in the process! All of Yellowstone is over a dormant volcano? Maybe this is something I should have known. Back in the 80s my aunt took my cousins and me to an amusement park called Action Park. Back then, I thought it was the greatest thing since the Walkman.
But reading Ms. Price's account of the now-closed attraction, it seems I was lucky to have made it out alive. This, and many other fun facts come your way in this book. It's not a life-changer, but it's a light, funny read you might enjoy.
Mar 11, papilionna rated it liked it Shelves: bathroom-books. I wasn't sure whether to rate this 2 or 3 stars, but ultimately decided on three because of the undeniably enjoyable writing. I was intrigued by the idea behind this, but I feel like the author took it easy with this. Another reviewer wrote they believed the hardest part of writing this book was coming up with places and I agree. Some of them are just ridiculous and unimaginative. Like "Your Boss's Bedroom" or "Hell".
Others are hugely subjective, if not to say unfair. Writing off the whole i I wasn't sure whether to rate this 2 or 3 stars, but ultimately decided on three because of the undeniably enjoyable writing. Writing off the whole island of Ibiza because of its popularity in partying?
I'm not sure about that. A couple of them serve as a excuse to bring up anecdotes that, while enjoyable to read, are not what I signed up for.
I think I'll create a shelf for "bathroom books" since this is the second book in a couple of weeks that would be great for that. Aug 14, Leora Ifrailova rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction , travel. Super entertaining, but the list isn't very practical. I understand why people would complain about it, but honestly? It's not a novel-it's easy to skim through and get a pretty solid idea whether or not you should buy it or check it out from your library.
Just don't do it! Do you think that you should watch the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life? Or ponder the lyrics to "Louie, Louie"?
Or read War and Peace? Or push an elevator button more than twice? Think again! In many cases, you'll be better off not doing what "they" say you should do. Catherine Price is a hilarious guide to all that is sucky. I've put it in a seldom-used toilet. Why — is this an increasingly desperate search for happiness? Perhaps you can in fact attain happiness not by going anywhere or doing anything but instead by actually reducing your ambitions.
Each chapter begins with a diatribe, followed by a detailed look at the alternative side of the most frequently cited must do's, giving off-putting facts and statistics to quote at holier-than-thou thrillseekers.
Wish-fulfillment lists take heed A work that is suitable for children over 10 years of age. Full of things to make, achieve, learn and some things you shouldn't learn this is the perfect handbook for any child who wants to revel in being young and not-boring. Can you… Make an origami crane? We waited over an hour, cameras poised and ready.
At tide time we watch this tide the equivalent of what I'd see if I turned on a tub tap come in and "fill" the river. Total tide range at this place was about a foot. We ended up getting the silly giggles because everyone had really built up how "amazing" this tide rise was. We still laugh about that to this day. I wouldn't have missed that for the world! Naples, Italy.
