Expatriate Tai Tai life: myth-busting with humor.

If you're into real stories told with wit and a touch of cynicism, you'll find Agnes Sng's take on the life of a 'Tai Tai' refreshing. Her experiences span across several countries, and she tackles the stereotype of the lavish lifestyle with humor, grounding the idea of a 'Tai Tai' in the reality of daily challenges and cultural shock. Ideal for readers who relish memoirs with an irreverent twist.

Description

So you think the tai tai sit on her throne, commanding an entourage of maids and drivers, deigning to step down only to attend tea sessions with sister tai tais or to shop for the latest designer bag? Why, doesn't the tai tai overseas have it even better, as she rubs fur wrapped shoulder with the glitterati of foreign countered, all spouting exotic accents too?.Agnes Sng busts that myth of the lady of leisure. Currently residing in bulgaria, Agnes Sng has spent 10 years in Egypt, Germany and Romania accompanying her husband. Armed with a gung ho attitude, she has waded through bureaucracy and bewildering local customs, mastered the Cyrillic alphabet and dealt with madcap drivers, errant maids, Dmitry customs officers and homesickness, in her experienced abroad. With much humour and a healthy dose of cynicism, she gives us a peek into the reality of expatriate life.
