Leanna Adams moved to China in 2006 and found squat pots, plates of pig’s feet, wildly curious Chinese people and life-altering experiences - her contrasting experiences highlight the differences that make the two cultures unique and the similarities that make all people human.

Adventure, Comedy, Memoir,

Leanna Adams was lost - with five roommates, a screwed up love life, and a job going nowhere, she needed to radically change her life. That's when her sister, the married-with-kids-gynecologist, convinced her to move to China.
