Prepare Yourself for China
This great little book had me both smiling and squirming as I read of what an unsuspecting Westerner can expect during a trip to China. This is an essential survival guide for what will be the biggest culture shock of your life! Outlining a whole new world of scams, adventures, toileting experiences and business/shopping distasters, this book will be your best friend in helping you to navigate your way through the pitfalls and to get the most out of your trip. Highly recommended!
finally a useful travel guide!
I found this book, to be funny, disarmingly frank and brim-full of vitally useful information to any traveller to China. I enjoyed the disarming style of writing, which belies the wealth of information contained therein! A must read and worth the money at 5 times the price.
