China. April 2011 Network of tour operators Alpha. N. Novgorod. It was the first time I met Alfa travel agency. My assessment: a travel agency for a solid four in terms of price-quality ratio! I liked China for a long time, the only thing I didn’t like was that there is a language barrier among the locals, it is very serious. As a rule, no one in Hainan understands either Russian or English. Therefore, when leaving the hotel, I always took a card with the name of the hotel, on the advice of our guide. You show it to the taxi driver, agree on the price of delivery on your fingers, and he is lucky where you need to go. True, on the fingers sometimes there were too high tariffs, but the main thing is to get to the place. But bargaining on the beach and in the store turns out great, even without knowing Chinese, that is, purely Russian and, oddly enough, everyone understands everything, demons !! ! A variety of gestures are used for trading, these can be disappointed facial expressions, an attempt to get away from the seller! By the way, it is this gesture that really affects them, and the phrase "very expensive" is understood by the Chinese just on the fly! The situation is more complicated with numbers, but it saves, for example, a calculator or you can simply show it on your fingers. In general, trade in China is also a delicate matter!
