Q: iPad travel unfriendly?

Recently traveled to China and stayed for a month. When I came back, my App Store stuck with Chinese menu and I can't seem to get back to US store. Now I can't get any update. Am I alone encountering this issue? Can someone help?

iPad 2, iOS 6

A soft reset is really handy as it clears a lot of glitches, not all, but a lot...hope it works for you.

Have you tried a power down of the iPad, followed by a soft reset by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider?

Did check and it did say United States, confusing why it insisted Chinese store.

It's embarrassing I never knew this trick, almost sounded like a windows thing. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
