Potential starvation by not being able to read a menu is a wonderful motivator. Well said! I did something similar in Kunming. Being able to order intelligently in a restaurant is a good motivator.

Funnily enough, I actually prefer Cantonese, at least spoken Cantonese, so hopefully I'll survive when I transit from Mandarin to Cantonese.
