Ai ya! China Summary
| In a dramatic career change Sonja leaves her old life behind and accepts a position teaching English in China. Coming to grips with a new job and a new life in modern China isn't easy. 'Ai ya!' Sonja is thrilled when she learns these two little words in her Chinese class. 'Ai ya' is a local term used to express feelings of displeasure, frustration, annoyance, and exasperation. Adapting to her new life in China Sonja inevitably finds herself surrounded by 'Ai ya' moments of every kind! Join her as she tackles illiteracy, overcomes her fear of public speaking, flees overzealous, camera-wielding locals and desperately tries to understand the Chinese culture. In her search for oriental epicurean delights Sonja encounters more than she bargained for as she tries to learn the not so subtle art of bone spitting and discovers the truth about cats and dogs. She endeavours to squeeze in travelling to far-flung destinations and experiencing as much of China as she possibly can in between teaching English classes. Along her colourful journey she forges new friendships, encounters unexpected prejudices, and discovers that it's the little things in life that really matter. |
