From transportation glitches to dining disasters--and, yes, bathroom emergencies--our books are the result of difficulties we faced in foreign countries with limited language skills.
It all started one night in a Chinese hotel room, wondering how we could possibly get a train ticket
or order food when no one spoke English--we solved the issue with hand-drawn pictures and phrases. The technique was so successful, we just had to turn the idea into a book. We believe travelers should attempt the language of their destination, but sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. |
