Useful, but there's more to know (and other books can help).......2001-11-14

When I lived in Hong Kong in the 90's, Wei's book was a useful introduction to ways to behave around Hong Kong hosts and clients. But the book suffers from a typical Hong Kong problem, the reluctance to prepare the first-time visitor for the more unpleasant "underbelly" of Hong Kong society, which any westerner has to deal with. There is a general sense of insecurity in Hong Kong society which affects all interactions with westerners, business or social, and grows out of the tragic influx of millions of refugees fleeing China to the safety of British Hong Kong - this aspect of Hong Kong is not dealt with by Wei, but is dealt with in Jan Morris's Hong Kong (which contains much other fascinating information). A knowledge of this tragic history (which is often too painful for Hong Kong Chinese to discuss - like any criticism of Hong Kong, it causes loss of "face"), is essential for any understanding of how the place works. The unpleasant fallout from this historical situation, in terms of the societal frustration and bad public behaviour it causes, is dealt with brilliantly in Bo Yang's The Ugly Chinaman and the Crisis in Chinese Culture. Two novels of Hong Kong, Timothy Mo's The Monkey King and Paul Theroux's Kowloon Tong, offer suprisingly accurate takes on many actions and attitudes that the vistor and short term resident in Hong Kong will encounter, but can again be too painful to discuss. All the above books deal with things Betty Wei doesn't, and knowing about them will enrich your understanding of this interesting city during your visit/domicile there. Also helpful for understanding Hong Kong is the "classic" Hong Kong book, Myself a Mandarin, by Austin Coates.

dated but beneficial cultural reference.......2000-10-31

While I've not been to Hong Kong, I've had supervisors and co-workers who were Hong Kong persons, and have done some reading about this unique cultural mix. Thus I can't speak for the accuracy of all details except to say that the ones I can verify are accurate.

The authors' knowledge of the SAR is clearly that of the native, and an effort has been made to explain cultural nuances that a non-Hong Kong author might never have seen. (Example: the way of life of the vast majority of low-paid publicly-housed wage labourers, most of whom are Chinese.) Of course, there's a tradeoff: we do not get the perspective of a non-Hong Kong person as to what stands out. Ideally one author would have been native and another an immigrant.

It was published, however, before the 1997 handover, so a lot has probably changed since then and I can't recommend it for those interested in the politics and government of Hong Kong. For those interested in the culture--which will change only slowly, barring drastic action by Beijing--it's a very useful reference.

Good historical information, but time for an update.......1999-04-07

This book contains a lot of good historical information on Hong Kong, but it came out before the biggest historical event of recent years -- the return of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule. I hope the authors are working on an updated version. It would also benefit from the inclusion of a good map to give people planning their first visit to Hong Kong a sense of proportion and location.

excellent guide.......2007-03-14

We are planning to move to Shanghai for some years. This book has been excellent (I think. I gues I can really tell by the end of this year). Just what I had been looking for. It's not a travel guide, though it certainly points out places of interest. Information about living areas, things to do, service, expectations, transportation, shopping, etc. Most things I have been "googleing" through on the internet all in one book. Maybe some pictures would have been nice. But I guess that is not in the "nature" of this book.

Poorly organized and out of date.......2006-04-25

Information covered is broad but shallow. Useful pieces of knowledge are often buried in the middle of long blocks of text instead of being highlighted or placed within easier to find tables. The index is of little help as it is small and cursory. Beware of using contact information as some groups/businesses/locations have changed or no longer exist. Some is just flat out wrong. I tried to pick up a set of the plasticized location flash cards for use with taxis as described on pg 112 from the Am Cham office but they had never heard of them. They even copied the page and book information to tell the publisher that their information was wrong. A far more useful guide for expats moving to Shanghai is Passport Shanghai. It's more difficult to find but it's well worth it.

Great read for anyone relocating to Shanghai.......2005-05-01

I highly reccomend this book to anyone relocating to Shanghai. The chapters on visas, housing & goods relocation offer well written advice that is easily worth the price of the book.

It also provides a great overview on Shanghai's history, Shanghai's people and doing business in Shanghai. While other books cover all of these subjects in much more detail, I find this book offers a great overview for someone who has a billion other things to prepare before any relocation.

The guided walking tours offered in the book were accurate and interesting.

A great airplane read overall.

Fantastic for professional level use.......2007-05-13

This book was written by Kay Jones and her business partner- the top intercultural specialists in North America, IMHO. It is designed for ex-pats and professional users- if you are staying for a few months, if you are relocating to Beijing, or if you have business there often, you will love this. It is not designed for vacationers.

Also, if you are going to the 2008 Olympics and renting a place for a few weeks, get this one. It covers cars, rentals, utilities, food, etiquette, and living arrangements you will encounter.

Useful even for tourists.......2007-05-01

I got "Culture Shock: Beijing" in anticipation of a brief trip to the city combining some teaching with a family vacation. I enjoyed reading about the local culture but did not anticipate that it would be of much practical use, since it seems more geared to Westerners who become permanent or semi-permanent residents of the city. It's not a "traditional" guidebook so if you need the names of hotels or shops, etc., seek elsewhere first.

However, I became very gratified to have read it when the deputy director of the institute where my husband had been teaching invited us to dinner at a restaurant - I knew a lot more about dining etiquette and felt much more at ease. It also came in handy for advice related to haggling for purchases. So, even if you are "just" travelling as a tourist, it's definitely worth it - it's a fun read and you may just get some pointers you can really use.

Yikes!.......2007-04-13

I bought this book to help prepare for our move to China in June. I have read and enjoyed other Culture Shock books before (Culture Shock Malaysia is wonderful and very helpful) but I was blown away by this book's awfulness. It should have been called, "Out-dated Personal Ramblings of a Typo-prone Journalist in China." Sarcasm is rampant, the author refers to the reader as "pal" and frequently admonishes him (as in, "too bad, pal. China isn't going to change for you.") and the vast majority of the so-called advice is terribly outdated.

The Culture Shock people should take this book off the market before it seriously damages their name.

A worthless book.......2007-01-03

Home made and thoughtless. Interesting only for its defense of the slaughter in Tiananmen square.

Don't waste your pre-trip time on this book! Keep looking!.......2006-10-25

First off, there is a big difference between the Chinese in Hong Kong (were much of this author's experience comes from) and the Chinese from Beijing. It's like the difference between Italy and Sweden. Grouping all Chinese cultures together is just plain ignorant and down right misleading and it hurts your understanding of that region of the world. It also makes the outside traveler appear a little stupid when they arrive in China. This book seems to group all Chinese as one culture.

Culture Shock! China: is just bad book on so many levels that I have a headache reliving them all! I'd find better material to read about China; books that were written within the past 2 years are best! China has changed so much and so fast that it's hard to keep up with all the changes. Even the Chinese themselves are stunned at the rapid pace of change.

(Additional observation) It's very odd how this book received so many of its highest star ratings right after its re-release years ago. This makes me suspect that maybe some employees from the publisher, (and/or friends of the author) might have been used to falsely rate this book with those great reviews and high stars, especially when it was more beneficial to sales back then. (look at the dates of the earlier high reviews with today's low star reviews. ...hmmmm).

Changing Times.......2006-08-31

The idea of this book is excellent; however, because it's 5 years old it is not as up-to-date as it could be. China is changing rapidly and some of the customs and other information presented is already out-dated. It should be up-dated more freaquently.

Mix of useful information and self-serving BS.......2006-03-28

I don't usually make impulse buys of books; usually I at least skim reviews on Amazon before buying to get an idea of what others have said. However, I'm traveling to China for the first time in summer and saw this book in the bookstore ... it looked interesting and I've seen this Culture Shock! series around so I thought I'd give it a shot. While I can't say the book was a complete waste of money, as Sinclair does have good insights amongst some completely bizarre and mystifying statements, I'd say this book is better read as a library copy (i.e. for free) or not at all. Why? Here's why:

First and foremost, the author has a severe case of Terminal Expatriate. He comments condescendingly on fellow foreigners in and out of China (especially those who dare to criticize the Party line) all the while adding worthless commentary on his own personal experiences. While sometimes interesting, many are simply pointless. The example that sticks out in my mind the best was an entire subsection devoted to one mere paragraph about the fact that "some people" find it hard to make Chinese friends while the author of course has never had this problem. In general, the author's "been there, done that ... and better than anyone else could hope to do!" attitude grows irritating before long. As does his infatuation with the Communist way of doing things. It's one thing to support their policies, if it's done in a balanced manner, but Sinclair basically says that anyone who dares to disagree is an ignorant and stupid outsider. He, as an Old China Hand is given full reign to criticize, of course. He is also often self-righteous and hypocritical (always a dangerous, if not slightly amusing, combination), especially when it comes to the world's oldest profession. Sex clearly weighs on Sinclair's mind quite a bit as he talks about it frequently, often incoherently. Pimps should be shot, johns should be jailed (except Sinclair, he prefers to choose women rather than be "chosen"), and despite the rampant adult prostitution thank goodness for the one-child law or China would be crawling with child prostitutes too! Sinclair sounds like he's swallowed whole a little bit too much of the Party propaganda.

Also, as someone who simply plans to visit China (not live there long term) I was disappointed at the very little space devoted to very practical matters (ordering at restaurants, picking a place to stay, riding taxis and trains, etc.). To me it felt like a disproportionate amount of space was used to talk about the modern history of China and interesting but far from practical commentary on modern cultural mores. While interesting, many of these have little or no impact for the casual tourist, even one interested in the culture and history of China. For a guide that claims to be a guide to "customs and etiquette" remarkably little of either is discussed. One wonders if this Terminal Expatriate has been in China too long to relate with the casual tourist or resident and speak to him or her in practical and relevant terms.

Perhaps most of all, I finished the book wondering what if anything I'd learned that I couldn't have learned from reading the notes in my Lonely Planet tour guide, or found on the internet by simply Google-ing "China" or looking in Wikipedia. The trivial information, plethora of typos, and opinionated and flat-out judgmental commentary grew tiresome after a while. I cannot honestly say I'd re-read this book, let alone recommend it to others. Not an awful book, but it left me feeling slightly nauseous and dirty, as if I'd just left one of the smoke-filled parties Sinclair likes to talk about after downing one too many mao tais.

Fairly accurate cultural descriptions, but focuses on Taipei male businessmen's experience .......2007-02-28

Compared to the cultural sections in the Lonely Planet for Taiwan, this book was much more up to date (having been revised in 2005 verses LP being revised in 2000). The only drawbacks were the book's heavy focus on Taipei (I moved to southern Taiwan) and the books focuse on MEN in the business world and men's night ctivities like ladies' clubs etc. These sections weren't applicable to women at all. Not being any sort of feminist, I was still rather disappointed that there was not any similar commentary provided specifically for women in business and women's nightime activities!

Taiwan Culture Shock.......2007-01-16

This book provides an excellent introduction to the different culture in Taiwan. Since our son will soon be marrying a lady from Taiwan, we thought we should learn a little more about her cultural background.

Exagerates things a bit.......2007-01-14

I just want to throw my vote in with several others who have commented on how this book gives an impression that is more harsh than the reality. It tends to give the worst case scenarios regarding how Taiwanese treat foreigners, which I think gives people the wrong impression. In my experience the Taiwanese are mostly curious but friendly, except in Taipei where foreigners aren't a novelty and are pretty much treated like anyone else. Yes, a white person will be stared at quite a bit, and may get some blunt questions that would be considered rude elsewhere, but the types of really blatant disrespect this book describes is pretty unlikely.

Other than that, it is useful and informative as to customs, etc, though I don't think one has to be quite as picky about issues of "face" as the book suggests, especially with the younger generation.

Disapointing.......2007-01-13

I was disapointed by this edition of the Culture Shock series. Taiwan, as exotic a place as you can imagine, must be full of specific cultural behaviors. And the entire book only said to be alert and aware of them. There were no specifics. For those of us who are looking for specific do's and don'ts when traveling, this book was largely useless.

Clear bias in the explanation of Taiwan's history.......2005-10-24

Admittedly, I have only read the first couple chapters of the book, so please take the following review with a grain of salt.

While I understand that books such as these are meant to give visiting foreigners a taste for what to expect, I felt that these first chapters have far too much opinion and political bias mixed in with the facts.

One example is the portrayal of the KMT (dominant political party for much of Taiwan's recent history) and its leadership as a self-serving cabal bent on preserving its interests and maintaining its pipedream of reasserting its rule of China. In my opinion, the actual facts would have been more than sufficient to give the reader an insight into some of the unfortunate events resulting from the KMT coming to Taiwan, and that the added commentary on KMT leadership was really unnecessary.

My take is on this is that the authors have clear political tendencies and they let their personal opinions obfuscate what should be a more objective view of the country. This is sort of like reading a book about the USA written by somebody with very strong Republican or Democratic leanings - you will certainly get a lot of fact, but it will be cast in the lens of that particular party's politics.

For others, the "how to" includes the use of multiple PhotoShop filters to create powerful images. The next time you need to do a logo in a hurry, you'll wish this book were on your shelf.

Designed to offer endless inspiration, The Little Book of Logo Recipes offers this bonus feature: each page features call-out notes of easily understandable comments to quickly convey the advantageous elements of the depicted logo.

Customer Reviews:

Not good..........2006-03-02

This book looks, reads and feels thrown together. The logo designs and shapes presented look as if they were produced in a middle school design class. Stay away from this book, I would not even suggest it to beginners.

Good for application use, but logos in book look dated.......2005-01-28

I bought this book expecting it to provide examples of good logo design as well as showing how to use your plug-ins or other design applications to create your own versions of the logos. While it does provide good instruction on different Photoshop plug-ins to generate design results, the sample logos in this book seem very, very dated. Many of them are not good examples of logos that I would except to see from a design house. This book could be beneficial to a novice designer, but is not for the expert one.
