No Chopsticks Required: My Family's Unexpected Year In Shanghai

Synopsis

In 2008, Katrina Beikoff and her partner both accepted job offers to work on The Shanghai Daily and together with their two small children, they embark on a fantastic adventure- living and working in China for a year. During their year, Katrina is witness to a range of major events: a once in lifetime snow storm, a devastating earthquake which kills over 80 000, the Tibetian uprising, the enormous cover up of the Beijing Olympics, the melamine-tainted milk scandal and the crippling global financial crisis. Written in a highly amusing and warmly appealing tone, Katrina′s personal observations of daily life in contemporary China are insightful as they are fascinating.
