    Mate, most of the people out there in the great China Outback don't know left from right and point you in the wrong direction due to "face" issues as they won't admit they don't know.....

    Bang on! Ask ten people for directions or <insert your question here> and you will get ten different answers, usually most will be contradictory. I've lost count the number of occasions where different individuals point in opposite and opposing directions... even road signage suffers the same fate in China at times... thanks but no thanks, I've used maps, asked for directions, followed road signs... thank gawd for GPS. At times GPS might not be 100% accurate and occasionally suffer some brain farts, but 99% of the time GPS has got me to where I want to go. Way more dependable than any other option especially in mainland China. Each to his/her own though... YMMV.
