· Author: Hyun GHamSung 

· Publisher: Slow Rabbit (December 2017)

This book was written by an author who has traveled to over 50 cities across 10 Southeast Asian countries. The book presents a very realistic episode in the author’s life, tracing more than thirty hours of travel by land, though the same distance could have been covered in about an hour by plane. It describes a joyful and inspiring journey that helps the author realize the value of a day that could have been wasted. The narrative describes handing out hearts to strangers, taking a step closer to unfamiliar landscapes, and peeling off one’s shell to expose the inner self.
