Today we have to go to the grocery store. Yesterday we got 10 pounds of oatmeal at Costco and fresh mango and papaya from the street vendor but that's not really enough to make lunch for school tomorrow. The problem is we had planned on walking there and taking a taxi back but, unfortunately, it's pouring ran and it's a bit of a haul to walk there.

So you're thinking, just take the taxi there, right? Our problem is how to tell the taxi where to take us. When we are going to school or home we have the addresses to hand to the driver.

Most taxi drivers we've encountered don't speak any English and my Chinese is limited to counting to 10, thank you and sorry. Lee can say chopsticks. Addresses are beyond our language skills so far. Hopefully it'll stop raining long enough for a walk or we may have to try showing the driver google maps on the phone.
