The (somewhat) lost traveler.

I am glad there is a site just for suggestions!

Having just returned from China, one of the problems I had was reading the information signs on buses, trains, and shops.  Also It would be nice to understand the announcements on planes and in airports.  Is there any way of:

1. gathering a vocabulary related to these activities

2. doing a "hungry traveler" type of lesson / video / discussion?

For example, arriving at an airport and checking the boards for arrival and departure times, gate, etc.
