Fried Eggs with Chopsticks: One Woman's Hilarious Adventure Into a Country and a Culture Not Her Ownby Evans, PollyFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Delta Date of publication: 2006-09-26 Shipped From: US (10-14 days) Price: $13.06 Free Delivery Worldwide Description: 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. From battling six-year-olds in kung-fu class to discovering Starbucks in Hangzhou, Polly relives her Asian adventure with humor, enthusiasm, frustration, and determination. Whether she’s viewing the embalmed cadaver of Chairman Mao or drinking yak-butter tea, this is Polly’s eye-opening account of a culture torn between stunning modern architecture and often bizarre ancient mysteries…and of her attempt to solve the ultimate gastronomic conundrum: how exactly does one eat a soft-fried egg with chopsticks In-Stock: 1 Weight: 270g Subject Keywords: Travel,Travel Writing ISBN: 9780385339933 Genre: Travel (Travel Writing) |
