What is Cheers, Beers, And Eastern Promise about?

Twenty-three years old. Newly graduated and an aspiring professional. I took a government scholarship to live in a foreign country. I chose to live in a village. Teaching and studying, I found linguistic and cultural divides. I landed in Taiwan as an ignorant and incapable foreigner from Philadelphia armed with optimism, hope, and a willingness to fail. And fail I did. Early, often, and miserably. I attended nightly dinners full of excess, missed meetings, sang karaoke far more than anyone ever should, crashed motorcycles, took three months to learn xiexie (the Chinese word for thank you), visited temples to ask for godly protection (and forgiveness), and ultimately hit rock bottom on vacation in Thailand. But in the rubble I found my fresh start, ready to tackle new obstacles on the way to learning lessons about life that I still carry with me nine years later.
