Yes, you do. However, #'number-to-string is only useful if you're
inserting numbers. I think you can use the more general
#'prin1-to-string everywhere instead, e.g.,

  (mapconcat #'prin1-to-string '(Indian Thai Vietnamese Asian Chinese) "|")

or even, using strings

  (mapconcat #'identity '("Indian" "Thai" "Vietnamese" "Asian" "Chinese") "|")

The are processed by order. The first "%s" refers to the first
mapconcat, the second "%s" to the second mapconcat, and so on...

Regards,
