"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.

This is an amazing product, It holds quite a bit, very durable and I havent had any trouble with it besides the led lights that are on the top wont stick. Other than that, its very easy to use and can hold alot of weight.

Solid shelves however the instructions were really difficult to follow even with three people helping. Looks absolutely amazing so it deserves 5 stars.

The hardware to hold the shelves doesn’t hold good enough
Color: Batteries Powered
The shelves look great , the only thing was the wall fasteners were too big for the screws and it doesn’t lock the screws in place tight enough to hold the shelve in the wall
