Beijing and the Great Wall of China (Around The World With Jet Lag Jerry, #1)

Get set for Jet Set Jerry! Join me as I take you on a whirlwind tour of our wonderful world. Don't worry, I'll do all the hard work (the standing in line for visas and security, the shriek-inducing vaccinations, the twelve hour flights, the shoving of three days' clothing for two types of weather into the confines of a carry on, the conversion of yuan or reals into dollars and back, the dysentery.) You just need to sit back in the comfort of your sofa or bed or subway seat, wherever you happen to be reading this (though in the case of the subway seat, maybe 'comfort' isn't the right word), and travel with me.
First stop, Beijing, China, and one of the truly incredible Seven Modern Wonders of the World, the Great Wall. What wonders of the Mysterious Orient did I discover there? What shocks lurk beyond public restroom doors? What flavors of potato chips startle the Western palate? Once you've hauled yourself up to the lofty Great Wall, how on earth do you get back down? Read and find out!
This is the first in an exciting series of travelogues, Around The World With Jet Set Jerry.

About the Author

Best-selling author Gerald Hansen was a Navy brat, starting school in Thailand, graduating high school in Iceland, with Germany, California and his mother's hometown of Derry, Northern Ireland in between. He attended Dublin City University, and also lived in London and Berlin. The first of the ever-expanding Derry Women Series, An Embarrassment of Riches, was an ABNA semifinalist in 2011. He loves music, spicy food, traveling the world (still!), and wearing Ben Sherman. He also has a travelogue series, Around The World With Jet Lag Jerry. He now lives in New York City.

In order to give different types of readers the experience they want, Hansen has two versions of most of his Derry Women Series books available. There are the original versions, which are perhaps more authentic, and also PG versions, where the strongest language has been toned down for a gentler reading experience.
