In a   time of a global pandemic, this is also a type of memoir, a tribute to   travel, of a pre-Covid-19 world. This is like a 68-day extravaganza of ichigo   ichie, the Japanese concept of cherishing every worthwhile moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Singaporean writer Koh Buck Song - author and editor of more than 30 books   - distils the quintessential brand essence of very different cultures in 13   countries across four continents. He draws from his experience and   perspectives as a country brand adviser, advocate of liveable and sustainable   cities, and commentator on society and public policy. Koh, also a poet and   artist, opens each chapter with his own haiga artwork of a haiku poem with an   ink sketch. These artworks complement this book's effort to capture and   interpret shared humanity across the globe - what makes each of us unique,   what we share, and how, in the end, perhaps we're all really chasing   ultimately similar dreams.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48198034915486,"sku":"UBD-9789814882231","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9789814882231.jpg?v=1787746060","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9789814882231","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
