I'll post the English up in a couple days...

A toilet themed restaurant in Taiwan.

Would this be the correct way to say, "I want one spring roll" at a restaurant?

我要一个spring roll (I can't find the characters for spring roll!)

Is the first part of the sentence correct? Pretend that the characters for spring roll is after 一个!

I found I was able to cope with most daily life situations fairly easily.  However, there were two circumstances that gave me trouble.  One was eating in restaurants; there was always something on the menu, or some process peculiar to that restaurant that gave me trouble (Brand name stuff at 星巴克 or 麦当劳 etc. is murder).  Cover charges, ordering the stuff to put in a hot pot, and restaurants without written menus are some of the other challenges. (I could always use some combination of English and pantomine to make due, but my objective was to function competently speaking Chinese.)

The other situation was that I have never learned the word for airport terminal.  This deficite got me the call someone who speaks English and pass me the cell phone routine.

I mention these, because I am hoping that the wizards at Cpod can think up some lessons that make these things easier for my next trip, or for the next podie who wants to function solely using Chinese while travelling.

(The hungry traveller series or menu stealer doesn't quite cover all of the possible complexities.  I also don't recall any lesson that involved a discussion with the driver as to where at the airport to be dropped off.)

Hi everyone, this is my first post, I hope Im not repeating anything or not looking hard enough through the Cpod lessons but, figured this was the right place to ask!!

I would like to know how to say/write something on the lines of... 'I would like to go to several restaurants to eat really good Chinese food'... (while Im in China)
I looked at the lesson 'Discussing Eating' and came up with this... 我想到许多餐厅去吃很好中餐...

Im a complete newbie so Pinyin too please ;-)
Any help is welcome, and please explain discuss any grammar points/problems because I find that interesting; Im thinking of my use of word 许多 !!. Ha.

Thanks. Matt.

I would be looking for a lesson containing the different kinds of meat, vegetables, mushrooms etc. which you commonly find on a Chinese menu. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, mushroom, asparagus, broccoli could be some of the words.

Even though I searched the lessons I did not find one with all these words in it.

Can anybody help

Thanks

Martin

Given that most beer in China is like water - my husband is pestering me to find out how to ask a waiter which is their strongest beer?  Can anyone help?           M.
