Shanghai, With Extra Soy Sauce

Ashlee Mack

When high school English teacher Ben Walker impulsively says yes to a job offer in Shanghai, he thinks he's signing up for a fun sabbatical. Instead, he's about to dive headfirst into a wildly unpredictable journey filled with karaoke catastrophes, neon-lit noodle hunts, cosplay clashes, and ancient ghost stories that feel just a little too real. Along with his pragmatic and dry-witted friend Luke, Ben navigates culture shock, language fails, and a never-ending parade of new friends, all while trying to teach Shakespeare to students who think Hamlet just needs therapy.

Shanghai, With Extra Soy Sauce is a heartfelt, hilarious tale of friendship, cultural collision, and personal growth. Through every wrong turn and right moment, Ben discovers that sometimes the best classroom is the world itself-and the greatest lessons come when you're totally out of your depth.
