Counting in Chinese

Fellow travelers,
Honestly we wished someone taught us this the second we got off the plane. It would have helped so much. The Chinese use hand signals to count from one to ten on one hand. You don't have to worry about tones. You don't have to memorize words. Just get these hand signals down and you can bargain like a pro. 1 through 5 are more or less the same, but a lot of people count three starting from the pinky. Six through ten are totally different.
Six through ten in order
