An Irishman in Beijing
July 28, 2008
Move over Frodders.
Lonely Planet: find a friend.
I’ve got a new travel guide and it’s providing me with a uniquely Irish perspective on China.
My Aunt Enda lives in a small village called Rathdrum on the east coast of Ireland in County Wicklow.
She’ s a loyal reader of Deirdre’s Diary. Truthfully, she’s kind of a online stalker. Not in a NBC Dateline Chris Hansen kind of a way. More like a “let’s tell everyone in the Rathdrum pubs about my niece’s blog” kind of way.
In fact, I credit Enda for the global success of my blog. So does she.
Check out what Enda sent me for my birthday.
Read the first line and you’ll see why this book spoke to me like no other travel book has!
