The 2008 Summer Olympics are about to start in Beijing (August 8
– 24). It has been reported that, in preparation, many
thousands of Chinese have learned basic English phrases to help
their visitors get around more easily and comfortably. That is
quite an accomplishment! This cache returns the favor by having
English-speaking Geocachers translate basic Chinese phrases while
doing what we like to do. It’s important to read the Chinese
phrases out loud. Understand that this is all in fun.
Match the English and Chinese phrases and use the number
associated with the letter in the formula for cache latitude.
Cache Latitude = N39 13.(ABC + DEF)
