"This book was given to me after I returned home from a year in Iraq and was having trouble adjusting back to American Living. It gave me some great perspective on everything I was experiencing. Great read for anyone who has traveled."
"This book was recommended to Nancy and I by the Ambassador for Iceland. I had high hopes, because I really liked Bill Holm's Eccentric Islands. The premise here is that he spent one year teaching in China in the early 1980s, and wrote a variety of essays (one for each letter of the alphabet). This book would be a whole lot better if there were only 13 letters in our alphabet. The essays became redundant, and when I got to "T" I did something that I almost never do, I gave up on the book. It had become a chore to slog through the final essays. That being said, I did enjoy the essay on "Chinglish"."
"An American ex-pat living in China tells hilarious stories about living as a foreigner in China and finding he's a foreigner in the US as well. This was one of my favorite books during Peace Corps -- he put so many of my thoughts and experiences into words."
