THIS, OH SO MUCH THIS!
You can order food by pointing at pictures, or alternatively hope that someone speaks a tiny bit of broken english and can tell you what beef is, chicken, pork, etc..
Avoid chicken unless you like eating bones.
You can barter with a calculator, they usually have something.
I did a hike of a couple of mountains with stairs cut out of the sides. It was really weird. The reason I mention this is there were vendors selling giant swords. I wish someone could bring one of those home.
This was one of my favourite photos from that trip.. though I think the writing on the wall is telling me where the toilet is.
