Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book didn't make me want to live abroad, but it certainly made me appreciate how much effort it takes to maintain a family life in a very different environment. Danie chronicles the move and the adjustments to living in Chennai, India where her husband's job takes them. Her humor and frank candidness give a fresh perspective to her family's travails, from dealing with unwanted slithering guests to navigating the local markets. Her pictures beautifully illustrate her stories and we really get to travel along on her 'journey' over culture shock.

"Don't read this if you're expecting deep insights on culture, politics or religion in India. Oh no. I'm fartoo shallow and lack the intelligence necessary for that. I'm not an expert about anything. I'm just herefor a good time and amusing myself about it to stay sane."Danielle Barkhouse researched and prepared for her family's relocation from Illinois to India. She was an experienced expatriate, so she thought she knew the range of feelings that she would experience.She was wrong. "I have found that most expats don't really talk about culture shock. We all look at one another and know we're each going through it at some level. Some people will say they're fine, when they're reallynot. And then there's me. Let's just put it under a microscope, magnify the details and write about it!That's all this really is, a magnification of the details." (more)
