20111126 - the Best Guide I've ever met

Hello Jenny,

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you too!

I am so very happy to hear from you. Thankyou for remembering to give me the name of your home town, it strikes me as very similar to my name...Naomi...Gaomi...I will google it and find out all I can. It is nice to have an attachment in this way to a place, I hope this makes sense to you in your own language, that I am making sense.

You probably think I am silly now, never mind. I love the fact that Kerri and I got to meet you in Beijing. We had the best time in China, Beijing and Shanghai. In Shanghai we even got to see the moon, the wind picked up and blew the smog away and it was a lovely clear night on the 12th September, we felt very lucky.

Please do not ever feel worried that you dont get back to me quickly. Given the amount of time you spent with me organising my trip, I appreciate the time you give to all your clients and feel there is probable little time for you to have a spare moment to email people on a personal level, I do appreciate this. But I have to say that I do look forward to hearing from you.

I was happy to give the feedback, you could not have been more helpful and attentive, you went to so much trouble and then you gave Kerri and I a gift, it should have been the other way around, I felt guilty not to give you anything. But I also felt such warmth from you, to give us such a gift from the heart, the presents from your home town of Gaomi. I have spoken very highly of you to my friends and family, they are astounded at the attention you and your staff gave us...thanks again.

As for anything I can tell you of myself, I am married to a lovely man, his name is Brett. We dont have children, unfortunately I wasnt blessed in that area. We have a lovely dog, she is a Golden Retriever, Jemma is her name. I will send a photo, she is 15 on the 11th December, very old for a dog, she is very well loved and just georgeous.

Have you been able to get home since we last spoke to see your family? Do you live with family, friends...how far is Gaomi to where you live in Beijing. Now I must say a special thanks for sending us to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. I had such trouble leaving the Great Wall. I could not tear myself away it was fantastic. Have googled the Badling section since getting home and it seems much busier...thankyou..... LOVED IT!!!!

Thankyou so much for everything and I look so much to hearing from you again in the future...of course when you can...no hurry, I know very well how busy you are.

Good night from Melbourne, Australia

Best Regards

Yours sincerely :) (did that work as a happy face?????) (that is what it was supposed to be) (new to this)....
