user experience

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!

Xiushui Silk Market, Silk/Clothing     review Address off Jianguomenwai Dajie Chinese address This market is awash with the silk-worm’s finest. You can also find top brand and designer labels such as Gucci, Burberry and North Face here. Bargaining is imperative, although it’s often a struggle with so many foreign tourist handing over thick wads of cash. Rumors abound of the market being shut down and moved indoors, but at the time of writing it was still thriving. Be extra vigilant against pickpockets in the crowded quadrants.
