Lonely Planet's guides are well known and this esition is up to the standards. Recommended, no doubt.

Get the box set of the second great quintet. This really adds nothing. I'm tempted to be more harsh about it than that.

This drink was so weird, I had to review it. The front says "Naturally Flavored Snapple Apple with other natural flavors juice drink." And then "All Natural Snapple" and then there's a picture of an apple.

I have had my Ninja for about 6 months and have to admit it was just an impulse gadget purchase in the beginning. About 2 months ago I really started using it to blend/juice greens and vegitables along with whey protein powder for healthy morning drinks as I am not a breakfeast or big veggie eater. Since using the ninja, which is not difficult at all, I have seen great results and have more energy and have also lowered cholesterol levels. It's convenient, far less expensive than the Vitamix, which I also tried, and the single serve cups work perfectly for on the go snack drinks. If you let it run a little longer it makes the items finer and smoother so that you are getting the entire product unlike a traditional juicer that seperates the pulp. The web is also loaded with ninja receipes. Go to the website for the purchase. It has liberal return and payment plans. Granted, it is slightly noisy however, let's keep in mind what you are paying for the same outcome you would receive from a seperate blender, mixer, juicer. This is by far a great value.
