Around the Bloc : My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana by STEPHANIE ELIZONDO GRIEST

which is excellent. It tells of the authors travels and adventures in China, Moscow and Cuba.

Its a great read for long train or plane trips!

After searching for this book since hearing you write about it, I finally found it at the evilest of all book stores, Chapters. I checked all the independent booksellers downtown, and they said they "might be able to order it"... but nothing came of it. Chapters had it though, in their biography section. Idiots. They piss me off.

Anyway. Excellent book. I could see myself in the author a lot, except that she's already started on her big adventures and I'm going on my exchange next January or March. Thanks for the recommendation, Philip!
