Wordless Dictionary
We came across a couple of travelers on our world trip that had this book, or one like it. We thought it was the neatest thing ever.

It has thousands of pictures you can just point to when hitting a communication barrier. There are photos of different types of food, toilets, beds in hotels, buses, trains, taxis, banks and just about anything else you might need to communicate while traveling. Point It, Travelers Language Kit seems to be one of the most popular ones, but it can be hard to find. There are several others that have been published as well.
