| Title: Culture Shock! Britain |
| Author: Terry Tan |
| Publisher: KUPERARD |
|
ISBN: 1857330226 |
Description: 'Strange bedfellows, yet the slight paradox of being the custodian of a jut-jawed stiff upper lip and a wry sense of humour is very British.' - Terry Tan, author of Culture Shock! Britain. Most English-speaking people have a vague idea of what Britain and the British are like. There is also the feeling, however, that the British are an inscrutable people with a strange sense of humour. Culture Shock! Britain will ease you into the mainstream of British life. Practical and down-to-earth, Terry Tan shares his views candidly through personal anecdotes and with a great deal of warmth. |
