Advice to a Friend Going to China

"Shai, Shai" is "thank you" in Mandarin.

The phrases are MOST important in any language are:

THANK YOU

WHERE IS THE TOILET

HOW MUCH

Sometimes all three come in useful at the same time.

[P.S. If there is no toilet paper, work out what your left hand is for, and understand why you cannot use it to eat from public dishes in Muslim countries. Hey, it's better than a small island in the Mediterranean where you have to share sponges...]
