1.0 out of 5 stars Going Dutch in X Y Z, 4 Jun 2009

By	Ian Kennedy (England. Shakespeare country) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Going Dutch in Beijing: The International Guide to Doing the Right Thing (Hardcover)

I bought this book thinking it would be a guide to customs etc in China/Beijing or at least be Asia focused. However it is a collection of customs and guidance of what to do and not do around the globe. I did feel a conned. Other going Dutch guides are probably the same just with the appropriate cover. The readability is poor and there is very little wit. My advise is go make mistakes provide a laugh for the locals with bad/miss pronunciation. laugh with them. Any attempt is appreciated and is usually warmly rewarded.
