Scoobyqueen Posted April 20, 2009 at 11:24 AM Report Posted April 20, 2009 at 11:24 AM If you dont speak much Chinese or aint comfortable speaking on a phone, you could just say Ba B My husband successfully got connected nearly every day using four digits (he refuses to learn any Chinese). He was extremely surprised (and secretly proud) that it worked although by the end of the two weeks his pronunciation got worse and they couldn’t understand him anymore. I then called the reception to alert them. Quote
