Since cross-language communication in China bordered on impossible, Lindsay and I relied solely on pantomime and copying Chinese characters to get by.  Here is a small  collection of my best successful pantomimes

o        Where is the bus station?

o        Harder than it sounds:  money changer?

o        We tried to go down to ‘arrivals’ but there is a fence and it’s locked us in.

o        …and my best work to date:

o        This guy over here wants us to pay 50 Yuan for each bag to put them under the bus for a Petrol surcharge… is this legit or is he lying?  (as a side not he was a con artist that through our persistence we were able to foil in cheating us out of about 100 Yuan!)
