user experience
Beijing - user Matti - 14/08/2007
During our trip to China in June 2007 we have used the XS2CHINA
application on my mobile Nokia N73. The results are outstanding. I am
very satisfied with the way it works.
For example: Dining in a hidden street in Beijing is lovely, but my
vocabulary of Chinese stops at Ni Hao. So if you want to order a taxi in
English after dinner changes are nobody in the restaurant will
understand what you need, but they want to help anyway (this is the way
Chinese people act in general) they will give you brochures and all
other things you might have asked them.
But with the XS2CHINA application these troubles are gone. Simply search
the word taxi under phrase transportation; play it and within 2 minutes
you will be sitting in your taxi.
Nice is also that the Chinese people we met like to see more from the
system, so although your Chinese may be as bad as mine, there is now a
possibility to communicate: XS2China.
Good luck with your (next) visit.
