user experience
Beijing - user Sam van Wijk - 24/01/2008
I can advise it everyone: phrase book and city guide on your cell phone! I have seen considerably a lot of the world and always got around without a dictionary, until my journey to Beijing. Eventually every thing went well in China but not after the necessary battle and bumps! After a long journey I arrived at Beijing. I was really hungry and went into the first Restaurant I saw. The menu was in Chinese, there was no English alternative. The staff only spoke Madarin. After a lot of drama I decided to go to another restaurant. Same story there. Luckily a Chinese student, who spoke a little English, came to my rescue, The meal which I ate that afternoon, satisfied my hunger but that was all. Later I find out how nicely you cab eat in China! A few nights later I met some other travellers in my hostel and got acquainted with XS2China. I directly downloaded the phrasebook with city guide for Beijing on my mobile phone. Especially the phrasebook was a big help for me, the city guide was a nice extra!!!
