PseudoLocal:Community Portal

[edit] Join Us

For non-Chinese speakers who live in or visit China, these are common phenomena:

  1. You are lost and can't find the place where you are supposed to go. You have to frantically call or text your Chinese speaking friends or the call the restaurant or hotel themselves and have them guide you.
  2. You know the name of the place where you want to go, in English, but you don't know the Chinese name, and your taxi driver can't understand you.
  3. You are arriving in a Chinese city for the first time, and need to get basic accomodation, food, etc. without getting involved in anything shady.

PseudoLocal's objective is to document the mechanics of living and traveling in China, so that other English speakers need not be daunted by the above scenarios when they visit! Been to China? Live in China? We want your thoughts and information on this site.
