Dick Altena

Beijing - user Dick Altena - 26/05/2007
End March 2007 I accompanied a group following the course 'new manager' from institute the Baak, to Beijing and Shanghai. A wonderful experience, but I was suprised by the fact that even with hand gestures the communication was almost impossible.
XS2China was a great tool to help in these situations, in a taxi the sentence 'please drive faster' came in useful several times. It's a real icebreaker and thanks to XS2China we found a cabdriver who was willing to help us the whole in every situation and we managed to ge in some of the venues for the coming Olympics.
XS2China a must have for everybody who wants to discover China!
