Yogaden -louanne,
we are in Zhongdian on a little break from Kunming, but I just sent you a reply email.

Thanks tigertiger for explaining to her how to get in touch. We got a bit busy just before we left last nite

@yogaden, yes, road signs are quite ubiquitous in China, this is not Vietnam where road signs are non-existant! Although most of the major road signs will have either pinyin, English or more commonly Chinglish posted along with the Chinese characters, smaller road signs will be only in Chinese so do bring along a map with Chinese characters and preferably a manual of some sort with Chinese road signs to familiarize yourself with.
