Jolanda & Ruud

Beijing - user Jolanda & Ruud - 09/08/2007
We traveled through China using the bus, train and airplane. XS2China not only helped us in problematic situations, but gave us also many pleasant encounters. We used it to buy clothes and composing a birthday dinner. The employees of the restaurant we're really interested in the people who ordered their food and wine with the talking mobile phone. All smiling faces and we were the talk of the town! In regions in China where dialect is spoken Chinese people could read the characters on the screen. You should have seen the owner of a small hotel after thanking her for the wonderful time we had. XS2China came also in handy for directing cabdrivers in Beijing. In short if you don't have XS2China on your phone you'll miss out!

We wish a pleasant journey to everybody who's planning to travel through China.
