My girlfriend (who’s Taiwanese) and I are planning to move to the US (where I’m from) after I finish my Chinese studies here.
Her birthday’s coming up, and one of the things I’d like to give her is a good book about moving to the US. We’ve already lived abroad (in Paris), so she’s pretty well prepared for the actual sensation of living in another country, what I would like is a good book about moving to the US in particular, and I want to find it in Chinese.
I can’t read or write Chinese (see how much longer we’ll be here?), so I was wondering if someone could do a search for me. Please suggest any books you might find interesting.
Keep in mind, I don’t want any corny “My experience in America was so cool and these are the places I saw.” I don’t say that to be pretentious. It’s just that judging from what I see on TV here, I figure that there would be lots of books about that. I would really like to find something that’s pretty well written, by someone who really lived in the US and interacted, became a part of the community. Not someone who went as an outside observer.
I know this is a pretty big thing to ask, so a big thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out.
