They blow the language barrier up! | -General- | Feb 1, 2007 22:48
I am sure most of you have had the same experience in China when it comes to communication with the locals! Of course, the language barrier is part of the fun of travelling. But when it constantly consume your time and energy you quickly feel exhausted and start to wonder where the fun is!
So I think the following tip should be pretty useful: I tested an interpretation hotline, and I must say: it works! They saved me a lot of time and energy. The one I tried is called HiWei (a quick search should get you their website). They are new comers and I have to say that they could improve a bit. But they have always been really dedicated in solving my problems and very kind. They helped me with taxi drivers, train station employees, restaurant waiters and even a tailor. I've heard of other such hotlines has anyone tried them?
