Nice views from the apartment. Initially planning to ride many Chinee provinces, I got a dictionary with many different dialects. However, it was useless having only a few frases in each dialect - a Mandarin dictionary would have been a much better choice. One afternoon I went shopping for dinner but after two hours in 2 supermarkets and a local market I had found none of the main ingredient I needed - or when they looked right I had no way of confirming this as nobody spoke English. So I made my own small dictionary for the bike trip and had Erica and Feng help translate it into Chinese.
