I feel compelled to mention again how regressive the new font and layout on the pdfs are.  the lines just run together and it is an ugly, square font.  why change something beautiful?

also, i agree--it's hard to visually parse what line belongs to what characters. the whole thing runs together. -dislike-

these transliterations are always interesting, and sometimes puzzling.  why "na tie" for example?  chinese has the "la" sound of course, so why not "la tie"?

cool hint on mai3 vs. mai4.  I do something similar for the characters...you "gain" money by selling so mai4 has a "plus" on top.

you're lucky. I had a similar thing happen to me in Shanghai (no prices on the menu, even...) but there were 3 surly men in the restaurant over 2m tall. there wasn't an easy way to talk myself out of that one. most expensive tea ever.
