"The problems we talk about are for the most part neglected by most travel guidebooks. We tell you what hassles and headaches you might encounter and how to best deal with them. . . . If you should find yourself in a potentially awkward situation, we hope that we can get you out of it with very little drama."-from the introduction
Originally released in time for the China Olympics, this little book immediately caught on with first-time and seasoned travelers thanks to its compact format, affordability, and reliable information delivered with savvy humor. The authors have now improved their work with new sections on critical issues like air travel and appropriate clothing, lots of data updates and fresh recommendations, plus all-new photographs and captions to make the book even more fun to browse. Uniquely designed to address all the travails of being a foreign tourist in China, it includes practical checklists on transportation, lodging, walking, haggling, medical and bathroom emergencies, etiquette, crowds, and learning the twin arts of patience and persistence.
Here are just a few examples of this title's many unsolicited rave online reviews:
"Oh my gosh, the book's description of the crazy drivers, the toilets, the waiting in line, was so helpful."?Houston, TX
"I have been to China fourteen times, but still learned so much from this book."?Platte, SD
"I just returned from ten days in China and this book was by far my favorite."?Bainbridge Island, WA
