Canceled! What Do You Mean Canceled--Xi'an China: Book #8 of the series: Traveling the World

by Sally Demaray Hull Jr, Charlie P Hull Jr, Charlie P. Hull Jr., et al.

Entering the city of Xi'an, Charlie and Sally see the old China that has not been swept away by the modern. Long ago this had been the capital city of China. Few speak English here, which gives a flavor to travel that Charlie and Sally love. Communication still transpires, but with few words and many hand gestures and laughter. Sometimes this lack of a common language puts them into odd and even trying situations. For example, what does one do when the last bus leaves right now and you had planned to be in the mountains for many hours? How do you order food when you have no menu you can read? And when a car is following you up on the sidewalk, what exactly is the proper custom to follow? The phone translator was quite useful, except that it did not understand Charlie's Texan accent. How does one answer the question: Now that you have been to China, do you feel poor? And just what exactly is in the teapot if not tea? As one thing after another is canceled in one form or another, what does one do when the airlines cancel a flight? This account of Charlie and Sally's travels is documented with over 200 photos taken by Charlie. The photos are in black and white in the printed book, and in color in the e-book.
