Ever wondered what it's like living in China?
Follow Erin Coyle, former radio host and avid traveler, as she shares her life-changing experiences in a land of beauty, culture, and boundless adventure. Witty, thoughtful, and educational, Coyle's memoir is an honest look at life in China and reflects on her five years of teaching English as a second language in Nanchang. Through humorous stories and photos, Coyle tells how she engaged with the culture, celebrated the lunar calendar, and of course, enjoyed delicious (Hen hao chi) food.
In This Is China, you'll learn what it's like teaching in China, as well as valuable tips for moving abroad. Whether you're planning a future trip or simply enjoy reading someone else's travel stories from living in China, you will love Coyle's narrative as she celebrates the charm and wisdom of China's society and the profound connections that make us human.
