OK, if you want to read about ex-pats
|
I bought this book because I love reading about Japan and China and the reviews on the book sounded excellent.
I haven't been able to read further than the first few chapters. I was expecting something quite magical with the mention of 'Four Seasons in Kyoto'. It should be more like 'Go to Kyoto and meet ex-pats'.
Sorry, but this is not my idea of travel writing. There may be hidden gems in the text, but I can't face wading through the numerous references to California, New York and San Francisco.
Even though it's written by a man who was born in Oxford, he spent a lot of his early years in America, so we have the annoying American phrases and spellings for certain words.
