Basic Travel Chinese
 
With the coming of the Beijing Olympics, China is becoming more accessible to foreign travelers. English signs are everywhere and it seems that everyone seems to speak some English. But if you want a true glimpse of China, you will have to venture away from the big cities and into the rural villages, where people will still be amazed by your colored eyes and hair and your western features. To survive in these places, you will have to learn some basic Chinese. Here are some simple phrases to help you get by.

Hello! = 你好-"ni hao"

Goodbye. = 再见-"zai jian"

My name is ___. = 我叫___.-"wo jao___."

Thank you. = 谢谢-"xie xie"

How much does it cost? = 多少钱?-"duo shao qian"

Kentucky is a state where good food and fine distilled spirits are as much a part of the state’s heritage as its sparkling lakes, babbling rivers, green mountains, and rolling hills of Kentucky Bluegrass. This is not only the place that Colonel Sanders founded Kentucky Fried Chicken and its patented blend of 11 herbs and spices; it’s also home to several uniquely Kentuckian dishes such as Kentucky Hot Brown (bread, turkey, bacon and pimento browned and topped with Mornay sauce), Benedictine (a cucumber cream cheese), and burgoo (a slow-simmered stew of pork, veal, chicken, beef, lamb, chicken, vegetables, and potatoes). It is also the only place in the world where a whiskey can truly earn the name “bourbon” due to the ingredients and geographic location of where it was primarily distilled. Kentucky is also home to the most famous series of horse races in the world, the Kentucky Derby. Here visitors can bet on their favorite horse while sipping a mint julep, a signature derby beverage, and feasting on dry-rubbed, hickory smoked, pork barbecue. Yum! Of course, due to its varied terrain, more active visitors might choose river rafting, boating, fishing, exploring the Land between the Lakes, hiking through the Appalachian Mountains or Daniel Boone National Forest, spelunking Mammoth Cave, or climbing around Red River Gorge.
