Maarten Troost has thrilled scores of viewers together with his chuckle-out-loud stories of roaming the distant islands of the South Pacific. Once the travel bug struck again, he went big time, dealing with the world’s many populous and interesting country. In Misplaced on Earth China, Troost companions readers on a journey through the brand new beating heart of today's modern world, in the megalopolises of Beijing and Shanghai for the Gobi Desert and the hinterlands of Tibet.
