Living In Yen How Not to Move to Japan Gracefully

by Susan Sistare

Quite possibly the only how-not-to book ever written, Susan A. Sistare reveals the clumsy transition from a Southern Belle bursting at the seams to navigator of all things foreign in Living in Yen: How Not to Move to Japan Gracefully. With such tasks as remembering her train ticket, refraining from pressing buttons, and learning how to use a Japanese ATM labeled only with stick figures, Sistare must accomplish these feats and more with no more assistance than a Japanese phrase book and a little self-deprecating humor.

Absolute wonderful book. When you are going to read the books by Susan A Sistare, this is the book to start with. She describes her transfer to Japan with dry humor. I laughed and cried when reading this book. Read the rest of her books, too!
