<h3>When visiting China, there are a lot of intimidating experiences as a first timer. You don’t know your way around, you don’t know what to order on the menu, you’re trying to explain to the driver to go to Guǐjiē (Ghost Street – a Beijing street famous for Hotpot restaurants) but he just looks at you with a blank stare.</h3>
<h3>To help you on your quest in China, we’ve decided to compile a few of the most useful mobile apps to help you on your way, whether you are travelling here or living here:</h3>

It also comes with a Facebook Wall-like feature called Moments – a great way to keep in touch with what your friends are doing!</li>

	<li><strong>VPNFire:</strong> Considering China’s block on Facebook and Youtube, if you like using these sites, you better come prepared with an app that can unblock those sites. The app subscription is quite cheap and work it, if you cannot stop yourself from watching cat videos or just letting your friends know what you ate for breakfast!</li>
