I speak Cantonese, but can not read or write Chinese. Chinese people
adapt easily to the other culture whereever they go.

Next time you visit buy a China-made handheld Chinese-English
translator (top mmodel <$300) You can write on the screen either
English or Chinese words (maybe even phrases) and it will translate
along with the (putonghua) pronounciation. You can also write a
Chinese word by the correct stroke and get the English equivalent. The
guy (he lives 6 hours drive away) I went with insisted I get one. I'll
have to get a local friend to teach me how to operate it. I also
bought CDs (~$30) for learning conversational Chinese. Pretty
ambitious eh? Learn 2000 words and we should be able to knock their
socks off.
