The book I'm reading is a travel/adventure about two young women who right after finishing college foolishly decided to travel to China in 1986, right after it opened to tourists. But before China was really ready for tourists. It's the same year I went and traveled around for a while, they came right around the time I was leaving.
So many of their observations and experiences were so similar to mine, although at least I had a home base there to come and go from for R&R between excursions, and not just be endlessly on the road there. In the book, she's very entertaining in relating their experiences with humor and sarcasm.
Anyway, I'm reading it in a cafe at lunch time, laughing a little, and a couple of people now and then peek at the cover - the back of a woman's head with chopsticks tied up in her hair, with the title ''Undress Me In the Temple of Heaven'' - they then wrinkle their noses and walk away. Wait! It's not what you think! Lol.
