Together these stories tell the tale of the expat experience as lived by a guy who didn’t spend his entire time in some village reviewing his Chinese flash cards.

Texas John finds himself on a Chinese game show, a drinking competition with a pimp, the only foreigner working at a company, fighting crime, and entangled in numerous ridiculous, irritating, and sometimes frightening situations.

These fascinating and often hilarious encounters brings John a clearer understanding of the culture and country he has found himself in.
