Here is the final version of the travel reference manual for 2021:
This version is smaller and more manageable than the old versions. The previous versions were around 90 MB because the CIA maps were such high definition. I finally managed to get the maps into low definition (by printing to image) and so this is just 7.5 MB.
Otherwise, I’ve just kept working on the sections that I thought needed the most work. A native speaker has now proofed each section of the phrasebook, so I have some more confidence in that now. I’ve also revised the history section after some helpful analysis from a professional historian.
Here is the final table of contents:
- Calendar
- Conversions
- First Aid
- Games for children
- Games for drinking / chess
- History of the world
- Maps
- Meditation
- Packing lists
- Personal finance
- Personal information
- Phrasebook
- Recipes
- Self-defense
- Survival
- Work out
- Notes
Hopefully, it will be a useful book to travel with. I’ve been carrying a copy with me since the summer and it’s been pretty handy.
And here is a digital version if you just want to download it on your phone:
The digital version is the same as the print version except:
- No chess board or big world map;
- No personal finance or personal information. These sections are supposed to be filled in by hand in the print version;
- No blank pages at the back for notes; and
- A few formatting differences.
