An engaging travel memoir. Troost's accounts of his experiences in China, including eating live squid & pushing to get to the front of the line, are entertaining yet intelligent. I wonder if his comments on the excessive pollution in China are accurate. He claims that in the US, a reading of 50 in particulate matter in the air (I have no idea what that really means) is cause for alarm. But in China, they typically experience 140. That sounds bad.I definitely want to read more of J. Maarten Troost.
This book has been passed on to Mengying Fu.
