A Blue Moon in China

This is the memoir of my odyssey through China in 1988. The Cold War is still on. The Berlin Wall still stands. There is no World Wide Web. Cell phones don't exist.
I have just turned 21 years old. I am alone. I don't know a word of Chinese. I have $400 in travelers cheques, securely hidden along with my passport in the zippered cloth belt strapped around my waist.
All my belongings are in a small backpack.

Once I cross the border into China, I step under the radar and venture off the beaten path. Over the course of two months I will travel thousands of miles through an enchanting land. The story comes directly from the journal I kept while there.
The people are real people.
The adventure happened as recorded.
