Buddha's breakfast is a fast and easy read for anyone interested in life in Japan. It's written 'from the horse's mouth' and the details he includes demonstrate his deep and abiding interest in life in a foreign culture. The tales and observations he makes from the standpoint of being the caretaker/janitor are probably best served with a dash of outsider observer. Without that distinction it is unlikely Ben would have been able to 'see' things that those born to the culture probably don't notice. Excellent.
