For most of 1991, Phil Davison lived in the town of Lukang in rural Taiwan where he taught English and studied White Crane Kung Fu. White Cranes and Drunken Masters is the record of this time -- laced with humour, Chinese philosophy, geomancy, alcohol, unrequited love, spirit possesion, and, of course, Kung Fu, this book is a compelling read.

Summary: Great book for martial artists and travel buffs!
Comment: I NEVER give reviews, but I will make an exception in this case! I loved this book! It leaves the reader wanting more, and makes you wish the author would have spent more time in Taiwan - for the selfish reason that there would be a Part 2! The story-telling, the characters, all of it is written in a way that's easy to follow along just like you were there, side-by-side with the author. For White Crane Kung Fu followers, it's a MUST have. BUT, it's also a MUST have if you love travel, or just like good, short reads about distant lands. At the end, you'll always be asking yourself: "Whatever became of Amy?"
