Our faithful tour guide, Eric, had a very charming way of speaking English: namely, he was a college student from Beijing. (That said, his English is a lot better than my Chinese.) Here, I present you a tongue-in-cheek testimonial to one reason why we loved Eric.
- Let’s abandon this opportunity
- Did you like your journey today?
- Thank you for your cooperation.
- I love you!
- This afternoon, we will be all heroes. We will be on top of the world!
- It will be an unforgettable opportunity.
- If, in ancient China, we step on this [a decorated stone tablet], our heads, it say goodbye to our body.
- The Great Wall, hopefully an unforgettable memory.
- The walk not for the timid or the week, but for the heroes, and we are all heroes, right?
- It is very difficult walk, so you can stay by car if you want not to be hero. OK? Today we are all heroes!
- I will keep this memory forever. Today, you are on top of the world. You are all heroes!
- Chinar! (China儿)
- He is very bad man. I hate him!
- This CD was made by Eric. Do you love this song? I love this song. I love you as long as you love me.
- Do you love this day?
- If you like shopping, you can shopping. Or, have a rest.
- I cherish our memories together.
- In the coming days, I will try to remember all your names and right now, I remember about ten of you.
- Tell everyone to judge Chinar more fairly.
- Really, I am so proud of Chinar, always.
- He was the king!
- I’m so happy of these precious memories with you.
- Thanks to friendship of great Chinar and great USA to bring us together.
