Beijing101: Count with your hands
Our teacher at 1on1Mandarin, Wang Lao Shi, demonstrates the meaning of those gestures made by Beijing taxi drivers when explaining the bill.
Observing how different cultures gesture - such as counting or asking for the check in a restaurant - is one of the great pleasures of travel.

ok, i know this is weird and random…but is your teacher’s name wang wei? of course, there are a bazillion people with the wang surname, but the voice in this video sounds EXACTLY like wang wei. i had her for only a few days at a language school in haidian district back in july and she taught us how to count with our hands.
