Query: Tag sale surprise!

After fighting through the begining of the book,I found the description of both China and her people fascinating. I felt the author really sought out the true China and the hidden feelings of the Chineese people. I was particularly interested in the decoding of the Chineese laugh. I'm guessing the author didn't get many sincere laughs with all the proding questions he asked. A brother of a friend of mine is embarking on a three year stay in China through his work. I've recomended this book to him and I'm anxious to here his experiences compared to Mr. Theroux.
