2006 Tour: S.F., N.Y., Atlanta, Augusta

I really enjoyed your presentation at NAAAP. Southern Fried Rice tells a very unique and interesting story.

Everyone in my family (my wife, my 9-year-old daughter, and myself) really enjoyed reading the book. J. F.

You were a hoot! Thanks for coming to speak at Sacramento Chinese Culture Foundation,

the greatest testimonial is no one left after dinner! The audience was mesmerized by your style and candor. Even the Chinese-born audience said they learned something new. Eileen Leung

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your lecture on Chinese laundries.

Thank you for coming to Arizona State University and giving us a most enjoyable time.

San Diego Chinese History Museum, 2006

Each time John Jung comes to the (San Diego Historical) museum to present his books about the experience of Chinese laundries, Chinese markets, being the only Chinese family in town, and now, Sweet and Sour: Life in Chinese Family Restaurants, so many Chinese immigrants and their children share in the experiences that he describes that it evokes the nostalgic atmosphere of a family reunion.

Thank you again for coming to Houston last weekend and for giving us such an interesting talk. I enjoyed reading your first book, "Southern Fried Rice" before the talk and am now reading your second book on "Chinese Laundries."

I understand that you are working on your third book "Chopsticks in the Land of Cotton."

I like your writing style. It is clear and easy to read. J. T.
