i am going to china but know nothing of the language. just wondering if anyone who has travelled china could tell me how they found the language barrier. i expect the cities to be easier to negociate than more off-the-beaten-track places. is it easy to catch the right train, bus? etc

im in china at the moment... i know none of the language but my friend does a little so its helping a hell of alot when we';re out of the main cities

deffinately grab a small phrasebook so you can at least point to things in there

be prepared to ask around alot before someone can help you though, even with the little mandarin my friend knows it can be a real struggle at times

dont let that put you off though, you'll be okay but just may take alot of effort at times
