Title: Great read...
Review: Because I will soon be traveling to China, I have been reading many books about the country and the culture. This book was fantastic. It presents a perspective of Chinese culture and life from fresh eyes; the author is knowledgeable about the country and culture but he also inserts his personal reactions and responses to some of the oddness he sees, never hiding behind what his reaction "should" be. His description of the road race in which he participated still sticks with me and makes me laugh. I appreciated his ability to see the humor in many of his experiences without ever taking a superior attitude. The book is not intended to be a history of China but rather a first person account of his own interesting experience.I am a big fan of travel writings, and this book stands out among the many I have read. I couldn't put it down, and I look forward to reading it again.
