A completely revised and updated version of the classic deck of 50
cards, each featuring instructions for a self-guided walk in London
and its surroundings on one side and a detailed map of the walking
route on the other (including numbered stopping points as noted in
the text). For tourists and adventurous locals alike, each walk
covers the best the city has to offer, including restaurants, hip
shops, historic sites, beautiful parks, and more. Also, a tri-fold
intro card gives users an overview of the city, including
information on local history and transit, general instructions for
using the cards and an overview map of the city.
For generations, literary figures from Ernest Hemingway to Frances
Mayes have fueled our fantasies about the romance of expatriate
life. But it's one thing to dream about living abroad and quite
another to actually do it. In Expat a diverse group of women
explores in vivid detail how the reality of life abroad matches up
to the fantasy. Tonya Ward Singer craves a roasted chicken in China
and must buy it alive and kicking. Karen Rosenberg reevaluates both
her family's Judaism and her own when invited to a Passover seder
in a remote Japanese village. Mandy Dowd tries to teach the French
about Thanksgiving. Emily Miller admits that in Italy she craves
the Hollywood entertainment she generally deplores when on U.S.
soil. Tall and fair, Meg Wirth tries hard to blend in, in Borneo,to
no avail. Expat taps into the bewilderment, joys, and surprises of
life overseas, where challenges often take unexpected forms and
overcoming obstacles (finding Drano in Ukraine, shrimp paste in
Prague) feels all the more triumphant. Featuring an astonishing
range of perspectives, destinations, and circumstances, Expat
offers a beautiful portrait of life abroad.
