Travel Advice required

Good Day Gentlemen,

An "English as a second language" work colleague of mine will shortly be travelling to the far outreaches of Norfolk England. Whilst there he will be visiting 16 long lost brothers 56 sisters and 2,152 cousins that he so far managed to track down. ( all numbers at time of writing )

I have compiled a short list of phrases for him to learn to assist him when on his journey. Does anyone have any suggestions for phrases that I could add to this list ?

Thanking you in anticipation
