Publisher Description:
Walking in China documents the cultural challenges faced while living, teaching and traveling in China. The western style of teaching proved to be very humorous at times with students asking many questions about the US. China's population made travelling by motorcycle, taxi, bus, subway, fast train and ferry an adventure in itself. Phil shares his thoughts throughout the book from mastering chop sticks and eating a variety of delicious foods to being accused of espionage by a colleague. His nonverbal communication skills and ability to read people's body language were tested from the classroom to the ancient sites across China. Walking in China is written in both American English and Chinese Mandarin. Visiting a foreign country is one thing, to live there is a totally different experience. Phil's time in China teaching American English to college students and teachers describes challenges faced from language to culture differences with many humorous results. Walking in China is fun reading and gives you a change to ask, what would I do?
