Amazingly useful

I ordered this book for a two week study abroad in Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. It covers those said locations and much more. It gives a brief outline appropriately entitled "Know-Before-You-Go" along with customs and other important cultural aspects. I strongly recommend it if you are going to traveling to the region or simply have an interest in learning about other cultures.
