The Early Arrival of Dreams: A Year in China

This is a great book. I spent a year in China teaching back in 2008, quite a few years after Mahoney's year in Hangzhou. This book really gives you the flavor for living as an expat in one of the big Chinese cities. You can be in a place but at the same time, not be fully a part of that place -- recommended for anyone considering living and teaching in China.
