Chris Wedding has spent nearly four years living, traveling, teaching, and researching in fourteen countries, from Panama’s rainforests and Spain’s pilgrimage routes to Japan’s calligraphy schools and Vietnam’s culinary delights. One of his goals in writing this book is to communicate the importance of studying, working, living, and traveling internationally, especially given the current state of global misunderstanding.
* 100% OF THE PROFITS * from the sale of this book are being dedicated to Save the Children or UNICEF, whose missions, in part, are to improve the welfare of children across the world, like those in need that he met Southeast Asia. Chris clarifies, “Giving something back to the Asian communities who gave us so much is the least we can do after three years of life-changing experiences.”

Print: $19.94 Download: $5.00 Between 2000 and 2003, Chris Wedding, a Kentucky native and North Carolina resident, taught in Japan with the Japanese Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program. During that time, he sent home letters which described the 80,000 miles and 1,000 days of his life and travels in Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia. This book, with over sixty pictures, is based on these letters. It is part travelogue, part social and environmental commentary, and part humor. The book was inspired by the best-selling comedic travel writings of Bill Bryson. Those who have read Three Years in Asia call it “charming” and “an entertaining portrait of life in Japan” claiming that it makes them “laugh out loud” and feel as if they’re on the journey with the author to “the other side of the world.” 100% of the profits from the sale of this book go to charities which support children in need in Southeast Asia.
