Fried Eggs with Chopsticks: One Woman's Hilarious Adventure into a Country and a Culture Not Her Own [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Polly Evans
|
|
 Polly Evans's itinerary for China was simple: travel by luxurious high-speed train and long-distance bus, glide along the Grand Canal and hike up scenic mountains. Instead, the linguistically impaired adventurer found herself on a primitive sleeper-minibus where sleep was out of the question; perched atop a tiny mule on a remote mountain pass; and attempting a dubious ferry ride down the Yangtze River. Polly was getting to know China in a way she'd never expected--and would never, ever forget. F... more info>>

Backpacking the World [Secure Mobipocket]
by Frank Dux
|
|
The author travelled quite extensively in most continents of this planet over the last fifteen years and wrote down some stories which happened to him during those trips. Most of these stories were actually written somewhere on the road: on a tropical beach, in some shabby restaurant and mostly in dirty holes calling themselves "hotel" underneath a 25-Watt light bulb. Read about ... hitchhiking through the Sahara desert with a group of car smugglers; searching for dinosaurs in South America; a j... more info>>

Adrift In China [Secure Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Simon Myers
|
|
This is not an objective account. How could it be, having consumed such a slice of my life? China is the third largest country in the world, holds nearly a quarter of the earth's population and claims a recorded history going back more than 3,000 years. Foreigners' reactions to China and its people veer from one extreme to the other, as if the gargantuan size of the place demands a sweeping response. This is understandable. Time is needed for such a big and complex country, and time is something... more info>> (Published: 2004)
