Instead, the linguistically impaired adventurer found herself on a primitive sleeper-minibus where sleep was out of the question; perched atop a tiny mule on a remote mountain pass; and attempting a dubious ferry ride down the Yangtze River. Polly was getting to know China in a way she'd never expected-and would never, ever forget. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom battling six-year-olds in kung-fu class to discovering Starbucks in Hangzhou, Polly relives her Asian adventure with humor, enthusiasm, frustration, and determination. Whether she's viewing the embalmed cadaver of Chairman Mao or drinking yak-butter tea, this is Polly's eye-opening account of a culture torn between stunning modern architecture and often bizarre ancient mysteries...and of her attempt to solve the ultimate gastronomic conundrum: how exactly does one eat a soft-fried egg with chopsticks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Polly Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385339933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385339933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam Dell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.30w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/24\/2006 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2006 pg. 22","brand":"Polly Evans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46172931784959,"sku":"9780385339933","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_331ea1b5-f7cc-49be-bd06-c769431a7819.jpg?v=1727179513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fried-eggs-with-chopsticks-polly-evans-9780385339933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
