Testimonials May 2001

Susan Li was guide to a party from England from 19th to 21st May. I wish to send you my comments on her performance. Throughout she was concerned for our welfare and did everything within her power and ability to make out visit memorable. She always arrived at our Hotel well in advance of the time for an outing and before leaving she checked the times of out next activity. Whilst in the coach, she kept us informed of the places we passed and also the activities of the local inhabitants, particularly the growing of rice crops.

Zhang,
There is a phrase in English,"He goes the extra mile". It means that an individual goes beyond what would be usual or satisfactory to help someone or a group. You certainly did that in all ways.

At times some people needed a bit more help than would be usual, you made it work and maintained a pleasant attitude. Your willingness to add the cultural aspects of life in China pleased me greatly. I was fascinated by your introduction to Chinese characters. I am pleased to have an idea that there is logic to at least the more simple ones. I have often wondered how in the world the language was composed.

I will never see a bamboo plant or painting again without thinking about you and the time that you spent with "the girls" these past two weeks. I will try at home to improve my skill using the book and your examples as my guide.

Thank you very much for being such a capable, willing, creative and ...more

Dear Sir:

We have recently been on a tour of China which included your beautiful city of Guilin. Of the many stops and tours we had on our journey, my husband and I thought that Susan Li was one of the most outstanding guides we encountered. Her command of the English language was very good. She was clearly understood and expressed herself well. Her sharing of her personal experiences made a powerful impact on us. We enjoyed hearing how the people of China have lived and changed over the years. Her sense of humor added to our enjoyment of our Guilin experience.

I highly recommend her. She is very competent.

Sincerely

Gail Kearns
