Guess Who's Coming to Dim Sum? New Jamaican in China Kindle/Nook Release Promotes World Without Borders

Online, January 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - China: To quote the tongue-in-cheek promotion for his new book: [Join nomadpreneur, minimalist, vegan, author Walt F.J. Goodridge as he occupies Justin Bieber's Beijing, Selena Gomez' Shanghai, Rebecca Black's Xishuangbanna, Kardashian's Kunming, and Herman Cain's Hainan, proving--as the consummate marketer--that he's not above throwing in the top ranked keyword search terms in his publicity in order to attract attention for his compelling blog to book, Jamaican in China: Guess Who's Coming to Dim Sum] a humorous, and fascinating chronicle of Goodridge's award-nominated adventures in China, Laos, Singapore and Saipan have just been published for Kindle/Nook.

Goodridge is a Jamaican-born, US University-schooled, Spanish speaking, single, minimalist, vegan, nomad bachelor in China who quotes Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Marley in his blog as he offers survivalist cooking tips and dating strategies, fights crime and promotes freedom, dates cross-culturally, crossing borders, cracking stereotypes, breaking hearts, winning friends and influencing people, spreading his philosophy of "freedom, function and fun" while making money as a nomadpreneur throughout Asia, all while motivating and inspiring others through his prose, poetry and presence to do the same. This overview reveals there's a serious side beyond the humor.

"I do this to show people alternative ways of thinking, being and acting," said Goodridge, a Jamaican-born, Columbia University graduate who escaped corporate employment several years ago to follow his passion. "People have been fed misinformation and are therefore fearful about what the world is really like beyond their borders. But, if we're to succeed in bringing about the changes the world needs to survive and prosper then, as Mark Gerzon, author of Leaders without Borders said, we need the courage and passion to cross the national, ideological, ethnic, and religious borders of our time. It can be done!"

Towards that end, Goodridge mixes his real-life experiences with commentary and private emails, showing what life is and can be like for a Jamaican (and just about any "foreigner") in China. It's a "Behind the Scenes" "Bloopers" and "The Making of The Jamaican in China blog" all rolled into one with unpublished photographs, deleted "scenes," and posts too racy or politically incorrect for Goodridge's G-rated blog, including an updated "How to Really Meet Girls in Beijing," "How I Thwarted a Pickpocket" and his eye-opening "Traveling While B lack" essay. And, as Goodridge warns jokingly, "even the world's innocent little children have something to be offended about with an irreverent parody of Dr Seuss' beloved and iconic Jamaican Cat in the Hat!

So, if you've ever asked yourself...
"Can a single, minimalist, vegan, Jamaican author and nomadpreneur escape the rat race, reinvent his life, live true to himself, find love, happiness, organic food, but more importantly, an apartment with a kitchen, sunshine and a wi-fi connection in China without paying the ultimate price...the foreigner's price?" (and who among us hasn't asked ourselves that at some point in our lives? Admit it!), then you can NOW discover the full, potent, unadulterated, undiluted, non-dairy, wheat & gluten-free answer for yourself in the Nookified and Kindleized edition of The Jamaican in China: Guess Who's Coming to Dim Sum.
