Google Maps Transit

We're in Shenyang, and it's not so easy to get around here. As is
often the case, the folks at Google have our backs. We discovered
this morning that with a little trial and error (Chinese address can
be difficult to get into a form Gmaps likes), we were able to get
accurate bus directions in a city that offers little in the way of
English maps and directions.

If you find the addresses for any 2 points you want to travel between
written in Chinese (even if your browser/computer doesn't load the
Chinese font) copy and paste them into Gmaps. The English formatting
of Chinese addresses often is not immediately recognized by Gmaps and
will require (much) tweaking.

We wish we'd played with the this more in Beijing, but Beijing is much
easier to navigate on the whole.

I'll try to report back on how this works in Korea. We will hopefully
be arriving in Seoul tomorrow evening.

Korea Side Note: If you or anyone you know is going to be in Seoul or
Sokcho (or anywhere else in South Korea) in the next month please let
us know (you can email us at plansmall@gmail.com ). We'd love to
meet-up.
