<p><p>Journey through an island less traveled with a man who knows it well. Ronald de Jong has steeped himself in the cultural and geographical diversity of Mindanao, traveling off the highway and into the farthest corners of one of the largest islands in the Philippines. From whitewater rafting to white sand beaches, from waterfalls to Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines, Ronald has been there, done that, and he wants the rest of the world to enjoy it all with him.</p> <div> <p>Guiding his readers down a 200-mile stretch of the Maharlika Highway, Ronald covers almost every inch of the way while giving tips on local etiquette and customs, street food and table manners. In his company, travelers learn how to choose between the many versions of public transportation, where to load minutes on their cell phones, and why everyone wears flip-flops. He gives as much information about the indigenous tribes of the region as he does about zip-lining, spelunking and mountaineering--and the spirit world of the local ghosts.</p> <div> <p>Cities and villages, malls and sari-sari stores, cockfights and karaoke are all vividly explained in Ronald's detailed, conversational text as well as illustrated beautifully in his lavish photographs. A professional photographer, he is generous with information that will help his readers capture the life that surrounds them, "documenting and preserving memories rather than creating them."</p> <div> <p>Anybody who chooses Ronald de Jong as a traveling companion will find themselves living the lives of the Mindanao residents, as Ronald does himself. Explore, eat, visit, meet new friends in one of the most spectacular islands in Southeast Asia as you make your way through Mindanao: From Samal to Surallah.</p> </div> </div> </div></p>

<p>“Stephanie, if we’re going to get serious I should tell you that Taiwan will always be the other woman.”</p>  <p>"You mean I have to share you with 23 million other people?”</p>  <p>Stephanie has never been to Asia; Portland, Oregon seems to be a metropolis to this small-town girl. Josh has spent years living in Taiwan and plans to make that country his home once again. Several years later, they've packed a few essentials, given away everything else and are on a flight to Taipei.</p>  <p>From five-star luxury to a hostel on an island that was once a penal colony, from the chaotic excitement of urban night markets to an isolated mountain village, Josh shows Stephanie the country that has claimed him. Hoping she'll fall in love with Taiwan and choose to live there with him, he's even chosen the place where he plans to propose to her. And then they visit a fortune-teller.</p>  <p>Stephanie, plunged into a whirlwind exploration of Taiwan before she's even recovered from jet lag, is an artist faced with a nonstop barrage of sensory overload. She doesn't speak Chinese, she's on a gluten-free diet, and she's firmly rooted in Josh's itinerary, where there's no room for sitting still. Luckily she's a woman with a taste for adventure.</p>  <p>Formosa Moon sets the bar for a whole new form of travel writing. Written in two voices, it gives the vivid impressions of a first-time Asia traveler and the deep-rooted knowledge of a man who is returning home. Stephanie's excitement, confusion, and delight combine with Josh's irreverent humor and carefully researched facts to create a travel memoir/travel guide that's cloaked in a quest for home. Josh has already found his but he knows Stephanie needs to find hers in her own way. And then there's that fortune-teller...</p>
