[quote=MIRANDABEAR ,29142]Adam,I just got back from 2 weeks of traveling in the countryside (in the south) I am Chinese-American, and am fluent in Mandarin, but I quickly realized that I needed a guide (for myself as well as my two Caucasian friends who spoke no Chinese). I could have gotten by, but the Szechuan dialect spoken in the south, I only understood sixty percent of what was being said to me. But besides that my guide helped me negotiate hotel, rides, boat rides,etc. for one tenth what I would have been charged. Especiallly since we were in the countryside a lot, most people just didn't speak Mandarin. I had a wonderful time, and was able to stay with farmers in rural china, what an experience! If you can find a helpful guide, it will well be worth paying him-it will save you a lot of time and misunderstandings with the locals!best,miranda[/quote]
