Haha, only speak - someday I have hopes of reading and writing!

While shopping in Beijing, I went into a department store to try and buy a flag of China. However, I did not know how to ask and the clerks could not speak English. It took at least 10 minutes and 4 clerks before one of them finally grabbed my arm and led me a few aisles away. There they were, flags! So by next summer when I visit again, I want to be able to communicate better!
