Changye, Keep an eye out for 巴士 the next time you see a long distance or highway bus. In Mandarin speaking Taiwan these buses specifically are called 巴士. I believe I saw the same thing in Beijing, but I never took a long bus ride there so I trust my memory less. 的士 on the other hand- I have only seen in Hong Kong, perhaps Guangdong.

If the person I'm trying to call is "不在", how can I ask to "leave a message". Just now the best translation i could spit out under pressure was "*help me send her a letter*"... totally blowing my 老外 cover and switching the conversation into English.
