"A lot of what happens in China has no Western logic to it; there simply is no paradigm that can fully prepare you for this adventure. So, pack only the bare necessities, and leave your emotional baggage at home. Bring but a smile and an open mind and you will surely discover the magic of China . . ." Kevyn Townley/Author, Easy Etiquette in China
After much soul-searching, author Kevin Townley realized that changing one's perspective about the "oddities" of life in China was the only way to turn cultural struggles into cultural turning points. For Townley, this realization not only succeeded in changing his overseas experience, it became the concept around which the first book in the Easy Etiquette travel guide series, Easy Etiquette in China, was written.
An easy-to-read, straight-forward survival guide/"user's manual", Easy Etiquette in China summarizes, for the Western traveler, those traditional nuances of the Chinese culture most likely to cause the most difficulty day to day. From the historical significance of a "changing" China to expectations of respect/integrity in business to dining, socializing, and more, Easy Etiquette in China provides a "manners" blueprint for enjoying the magic of the journey.
In this entertaining read, Townley's book offers enough extra tidbits of relatable information that the actual "etiquette rules" themselves start to make sense and, hence, become easier to pull from memory when a situation arises.As Townley explains, ultimately, it's all about having a wonderful, stress-free travel holiday in a foreign country. With these nifty little travel guide gems at your side, you simply can't go wrong!
