After forty-something countries on five continents, John Rydzewski thought he saw it all.
that is, until he went to China.
There, he found the Chinese Groundhog's Day, a coffee shop barista named Shaky, girls named Kinky, Asian scarecrows, Santa's honest-to-goodness workshop that supplies the world with all its Christmas gifts, Elvis on the Silk Road, and himself in a Chinese television series.
In China Diaries & Other Tales from the Road, Rydzewski recounts his China.
