most-often-used words and expressions for travelers, in the form of
phonetic spellings of Mandarin words with their English
translations. The book’s page edges are color-coded by topic for
quick reference.
 There are separate sections for Getting Around Town, Planning
a
Trip, Entertainment and Diversions, Food and Drink, Getting to Know
People, Shopping, Personal Care and Services, Medical Care and
Communications. The General Information section gives useful phrases
for Telling Time, Days of the Week, Months of the Year, Seasons,
Weather, Directions,
Signs, Measurements, Public Holidays and Traditional Celebrations.
