Lively memoir of the author's observations while teaching in Asia, culled from his witty writings home, providing singular classroom and tourist experiences for the armchair traveler. What happens in these Asian classrooms is a real eye-opener for anyone who has never experienced teaching Chinese students, western-style, in their environment. The author's visits to Asian historic sites and his characterizations of street life along the way add amusing insights to his descriptions of Taiwan and Hong Kong. In addition the author's humorous reactions to airport and airline circumstances enhance the reader's enjoyment. All these events are adroitly woven into the narrative and make for a compelling, vivid page-turner.
