Always Speak English: There are many minorities that speak non-Chinese languages that belong neither to the Altaic nor the Sino-Tibetan group. These include the 14,000 Tajiks of southwestern Sinkiang, who speak an Iranic language of the Indo-European group, and the Wa and Puman people who speak an Austroasian language. The Wa and Puman are fierce tribesmen who live on both sides of the Yiinnan-Burma border and number only about 100,000. The Austronesian or Ma-layo-Polynesian language is also spoken in China by various groups, predominantly in Taiwan.
For evening entertainment not involving eating, you may wish to visit Tivoli, a small amusement park near the airport, or to patronize Reykjavik's movie houses, whose films nearly always speak English. Two of the largest and most central cinemas are Gamla Bid and Nijja Bid.
Parents may be able to meet you only at unusual hours - one school suggests dropping in at 9.45 a.m. for a cup of coffee. The telephone should not be forgotten either, though this may be felt to be too invasive by some parents. Where parents cannot speak English, taking the trouble to find an interpreter can make all the difference.
