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.
