Podcasters Marcia and Lisle Veach interviewed me a couple weeks back for their show, At Home in China. We talked about:

How might subtle differences in culture and language become a barrier to mutual understanding between people from the West and China? Marcia interviews Chris, a journalist who is currently teaching English and studying Chinese in northeastern China.

Listen to the whole show here.

I mentioned a few blogs and a few books in the podcast, and I’ll recommend them all again here:

Books

• River Town, by Peter Hessler
• Riding the Iron Rooster, by Paul Theroux
• The World is Flat, by Thomas L. Friedman
• China Wakes, by Nicolas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn (see my review)

Blogs

• China Law Blog
• Adventures of the Humanaught
• Sinosplice

And of course: DalianDalian.com

These lists are by no means exhaustive. Look to your right for a better list of blogs worth reading. Lots of good stuff in there.
