Surfing China: Second thoughts and offbeat observations from an American expat

A breezy and often hilarious little book about real-life experiences in the world’s most spellbinding country. Must-reading for anybody visiting China for business, work or tourism. A collection of 37 columns published in China Daily, an international English language newspaper based in Beijing, written by an American journalist with a Twain-like tongue-in-cheek style who has worked in the country for half a decade. The stories are often amusing, sometimes serious and always unputdownable. You’ll have a much better feel for the real China after you read this book. The author’s love of people shines through.
