[Wasai] Cool App for Vegetarian Travelers!

Ever stuck by how to express yourselves that you are vegetarian in foreign languages or while traveling outside of English speaking countries?

Such scenario actually happened to us in the recent past. While traveling in Japan for vacation, we were stumped by the fact that we could not express our dietary preferences to the waitress, which ended up in a rather awkward but funny conversational exchange!!

But worry no more! Introducing the "IVU Veggie Phrases" app for the iPhone or Android-based phones!

Developed by vegetarian Ashley Burton based on the International Vegetarian Union's compilation of vegetarian phrases in world languages, this app is curiously fun & practical!

Let's take some quick peek at this app...

The app features the most commonly use vegetarian phrases in different languages using alphabet-based pronunciation

For Mandarin...

For Japanese...

For Italian...

Classification by country, language and popularity.

The best part - it is free! Yoohoo!

One suggestion - The app would be awesome if the native characters can be displayed for demonstration purpose, in case the users have trouble pronouncing the alphabet-based phrases! ^_^
