Book #52 - Michael Levy’s Kosher Chinese: Living, Teaching, and Eating with China’s Other Billion

This was a predictably humorous book written by a former Peace Corps volunteer who found himself spending two years in a part of China often neglected by those in the West. As expected, there were funny anecdotes about the awkward use of English, introductions to strange foods, and reflective moments in which Levy feels either well-acclimated to Guiyang or completely clueless as to how to handle a situation. In turn it is an honest account of one man’s struggle to be and express himself while being respectful and appreciative of all that is foreign and new.
