This is a collection of e-mails from China from Dodie, an American teacher returning to teach at Hwa Nan Women’s College in Fuzhou, Fujian province, after having taught there in 2004.

Here is the text of 3 e-mails written to her friend in New Zealand about the changes she found in the few short years since her first tour of duty there. It is a pastiche of life in a large city in the years 2000 – 2011 and is a fascinating insight into daily life of both now and her previous visits, showing how much China is changing.
