This guide book covers the main touristic attractions of Beijing, as well as some of the best spots for shopping. The idea is to spend around 10 days in the city to visit them all, however visitors planning to stay less time can choose what they like most. It covers information about the different sites, including how to reach them by subway/underground (with the exception of the Great Wall), as well as a series of photos of each of them which will always proof better than descriptions to give readers an idea of the sites. I also provide the estimated time needed for each attraction. All pictures have been taken in 2014, and as well as the descriptions are up to date. This guide does not cover the following: -Hotels -Weather -Bars and Restaurants Mostly because those change very often in places like Beijing (with many opening and closing on a weekly basis, as well as quality changing considerably when they become popular). This guide is aimed at travellers who want to visit what is best, who need just enough information about the sites to enjoy them, and who appreciate good quality photos to decide whether is worth visiting or not. This is an ideal guide for those travellers looking for something quick and easy to read helping them to plan their visit without having to go through hundreds and hundreds of pages, covering the most popular and precious sites that Beijing have to offer.

This book covers some of the best restaurants in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Through his job as journalist, restaurant reviewer, and food and beverage editor, the author has visited most of the eateries in Ho Chi Minh City, as a result he has selected some of the best ones for this book. The reviews are extensive, and paired with several pictures of each restaurant. For each restaurant, reviews of several of the dishes are made, indicating the price of some of the dishes as reference, prices are in local currency VND (currently at April 2014 $1=21.100 VND, =35.000 VND). This book is not about cheap eats but more about top eats, without necessarily being expensive."

I love wine, and if anything I like more than drinking wine is sharing my knowledge and expertise about it, and this is the third wine related book that I write (see the back to know more about my other books). Although I grew up in Spain, I only discovered sherry in my 30s, and is such a hidden gem, so under valued, and so nice, that it should be shared The first thing I want to tell you is that the concept most people have about sherry is totally wrong: sherry is not a sweet wine (at least most of them are not), and is not a drink for grandmothers I will explain why and I will also explain to you why such misconception. You should buy and read this book if you want to know more about sherry, the different types, and how to choose the ones you like more, or which are more likely to go better with you; how to pair the different types of sherry with food, and know a few more things about it. I like good but simple things in life, so expect my book to be simple (and hopefully good), but do not expect to find a lot of technical information: in my experience most people want to get useful knowledge without becoming experts, and nearly everyone loves a book that it is enjoyable and easy to read, so these are my aims. Having said that, for those of you who want to know more, there are several detailed chapters giving the ins and outs of Sherry production. I hope you enjoy it, and that soon you start sharing some of the amazing sherries with your friends. I am writing something about the history of sherry, for those who want to know more, but I am doing so at the end of the book, so that if you are not interested you do not need to read the last chapter.

Simple This book is about how you can live in Vietnam, having a great life for just $300 a month, plus how to easily get that amount of money by working around 10-12 hours a month, are you tempted? Ok, let's make a few things clear: -This is not a miracle book, or in other words, you do not need to make short of a miracle to achieve such living This is easily achievable by virtually anyone, as long as your English is good enough. -The costs listed here are real at the time of writing (May 2013) and they are likely to stay similar for a while. -This book does not require you to live under a bridge or do something illegal to achieve the living standards, is just normal living, normal costs, you just need to drink beer in Vietnamese restaurants (50 cents or less for a cold one) rather than in ex-pat bars ($3-$7). -Numbers, prices, and places are real I am a fully qualified Chartered Management Accountant, so I know about numbers -You will need to make some changes to your diet, however that does not mean that you will starve or that your diet will be limited to rice. Vietnamese food is delicious (and I have even gained 7 kilos here), what it means is that you may need to say goodbye to olives or cherries (which are imported products and expensive) and welcome fresh fish, oysters, prawns, mangoes, coconuts, ... which are grown locally and terribly cheap. In this book I will tell you what is cool and nice, like semi-deserted beaches, and what is not so good or terrible, like traffic, so that you have a realistic picture of life here before you decide whether to move here or not. I am also attaching two little presents: -Cultural and business guide to Vietnam -Guide to Ho Chi Minh City and other major cities and tourist destinations. I am sure you will enjoy reading, and may be I will be drinking a beer next to you if you move to Vietnam

Vietnam is a fascinating country, still unspoilt by mass tourism unlike some nearby countries, and although there are several guides already published (including one from the author of this book), they tend to concentrate in the main attractions, most of which are concentrated in the city centre, while ignoring some of the beauties, which although not far away from the centre, hardly see any foreign face. From the awarded author of "Saigon 2013: Guide to Ho Chi Minh City," and "Vietnam Business and people, understanding to cultural differences" comes this new guide book to help you discover some hidden gems in Ho Chi Minh City, giving you the opportunity to observe and experience real life of Vietnamese people. What will you find in this book: -Very interesting hidden temples, covering the many religions practised in Vietnam. -How to reach the suggested sites from the city centre. -Time to reach them, and how much a taxi will cost. -Suggestions for best eats nearby. -Daily real life of Vietnamese. -Markets where Vietnamese shop (Ben Thanh market is for tourist only ) at Vietnamese prices. -Lots of pictures and maps. -Suggested walking itineraries, and time to do them. -Up to date information as per January 2014

This book will bring you to most interesting parts of Ho Chi Minh City, as well as to other parts of the country. Do not worry if you think I am not covering everything and you will be short of things to do and see: if you visit everything I review in this book, you will need three to four weeks

Wine is fantastic, and so is learning about it, once you start getting the pull from discovering new wines, new aromas, new experiences, the ball starts rolling and does not stop, as with thousands of options available, and many more thousand wines made every year, the road to discovery is endless. I have been organising, delivering ad enjoying wine tastings for over 15 years now, and I also love educating friends and strangers alike on the wonders of the wine world. I have tasted around 30.000 different wines so far (more or less), and I keep enjoying wine more and more every single day, I would love to share that joy with you.

With this book, and using my experience in settling in Viet Nam, I try to help future expats or even tourists to make the most out of Viet Nam, with minimum difficulties to achieve their objectives, this being to communicate with a pharmacist or the lucky money protocol in Tet. I am also including a lot of information on cultural differences, as problems can easily be reached without knowing due to some drastic cultural differences between Vietnamese ways and Western ways. I have divided the book in small chapters so that it is easy to find various subjects. The book can be read in any order as each chapter is independent. I hope you find it helpful and enjoy reading it!

El vino es fantastico y tambien lo es aprender de el. Una vez que comienzas a sentir la atraccion por descubrir nuevos vinos, nuevos aromas y nuevas experiencias, la pelota empieza a rodar y no se detiene, pues existiendo miles de opciones disponibles, y con los miles de vinos mas que se hacen cada ano, el camino a descubrir es interminable. He organizado, ofrecido y disfrutado catas de vino por mas de 15 anos a la fecha, y tambien disfruto ensenando a mis amigos y a extranos por igual acerca de las maravillas del mundo del vino. He probado alrededor de 30,000 vinos diferentes hasta ahora (aproximadamente) y disfruto el vino cada dia mas - me encantaria compartir esa alegria contigo.
