Books by Gill Puckridge

Gill Puckridge explores turning sixty, uprooting her life, and traveling to China. Deep fried cockroaches, dancing the cha-cha under the stars, and backpacking up the Li River were the mildest of her experiences. Throw in some miscommunication over cultural customs and you have the recipe for an exciting, and often hilarious, journey to China. An inspiration for anyone looking for youthful wonder in their golden years.Gillybean in China is the first book in a series about Gillybean's adventures around the world.Table of Contents1 Drawing the Line 2 Jump! 3 London 4 Midnight Prawns 5 Where Did You Hide the Tramway? 6 Call That a Temple? 7 Ni Hao, China! 8 Exploring Shenzhen 9 Hair, by Google 10 Dafen 11 Dinner on Cloud 99 12 A Lady of Leisure 13 Take That, Bureaucrat! 14 Hey Ho, I'm off to Guangzhou! 15 I'm Hungry! 16 My First Day at School 17 Somewhere to Live 18 Finding My Feet 19 Learning to Commute 20 My Mad Lithuanian Roomie! 21 Same Same, but Different 22 And They Call This Work? 23 Enhancing My Lessons 24 Weekends 25 Food for Thought 26 Keep Moving! 27 Decisions, Decisions 28 Eating out, Guangzhou Style 29 A Distressing Discovery 30 Communication 31 A Question of Balance 32 See Gilly Play! 33 A Trip to Guanxi 34 Attitude and Altitude 35 Bikes, Boats, and Water Buffalos 36 Up the River to Who Knows Where 37 Guilin 38 Longji Rice Terraces 39 Back in Yangshuo 40 Nansha 41 Return to Hong Kong 42 It's All over Now Acknowledgements About the Author Gillybean in South America Recent Publications
