Gary , although I met my Princess via other means and she was also listed on chnlove much to her surprise , there are a number of ways to meet and so long as one has he eyes open most work . With regards to the electronic translator , I and many other are using a Besta , just look up Powerdictionary.com and depending on where you are hiding there is battery models or rechargeable s which is what I have as Australia runs the same power as China 220 - 240 V 50 bicycles or cycles , I have what is now the base model with stylus pen and voice and it is magic as there are some words which do not translate at all or you can easily end up with the wrong meaning , have a good safe trip , I think half of the brotha's me included will be in China during July / August , regards Robert .:icon_cheesygrin:
