The Chinese economy was booming, the Olympics were on the horizon, and Beijing was being transformed into a world-class city overnight. Moxley planned to stay through the Olympics and then head back to Canada.That was five years ago. In that time Moxley has fed a goat to a tiger, watched a bear ride a bicycle while wearing lingerie (he has witnesses), and has eaten scorpions and silkworms. He also appeared as one of Cosmopolitans 100 most eligible bachelors in China, acted in a state-funded Chinese movie, and was paid to pose as a fake businessman.These experiences, and many more, are chronicled in Tall Rice, the comic adventures and misadventures of Moxleys time in China and his transformation into his alter ego-Mi Gao, or Tall Rice. The books spans the five years that Moxley has lived in China; five years that coincide with Chinas arrival on the world stage and its emergence as a global superpower. A funny and honest look at expat life, and the ways in which a country can touch and transform you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51607388160288,"sku":"NEW0062124439","price":14.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WiAs1jjzL.jpg?v=1778689544","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/apologies-to-my-censor-the-high-and-low-adventures-of-a-foreigner-in-china-0062124439","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
