One for the Road - China: Living Abroad in China

As a sidebar to this month's Chinese Buffet series, throughout August, One for the Road will highlight travel guides, reference books and other recommended reads related to life or travel in China.

If you and your family are considering a relocation to Shanghai or any other Chinese city, be sure to check out Moon's guide to Living Abroad in China. The book is written by Stuart and Barbara Strother, who first visited China while studying abroad in the early 1990's. They later returned with their twins in tow and spent several years living and working in Shanghai. Although now based in California, the Strothers still visit China and lead a summer study abroad program there for US business majors.

This handy guide is broken down into three main sections. The first portion focuses on daily life: moving with kids and/or pets, health, finance and employment issues. It is then followed by a section highlighting prime living locations, organized by province. And then there's a helpful reference section at the rear, with all the nuts and bolts stuff that parents or single adults will want to know before making a move.
