[quote=MIRANDAZHAO,244923]"At the airport, as we left Beijing, Ying passed out a map to each group member. Why I wondered had he waited until we left?"

Ms. Miller wonders constantly, yet never seeks facts. Free city maps are available from the front desk at every hotel in every city as they are in every airport. At the airport as the group left the city, Yin saw some maps on the ground that fell from a shelf. He picked them up to place them back on the shelf when someone in the group asked for one, so he distributed them to those who wanted them, then put the remainder on the shelf. From this, Miller "wondered why he waited until we left" to distribute maps. I would recommend she wonder why she doesn't pay attention to what is really happening around her.

"His parting words were that transfers would be taken care of in each city. But that did not happen ..."

Yin guided the group to obtain boarding cards, then paid airport taxes for them, hugged and shook hands with the members of the group and waited outside while the group went through security. Two hours later, the agent in Xi'an informed him the group was in safe hands. Miller implies that Yin was the only guide throughout the tour and didn't oversee their needs. Yin was the Beijing guide only. From Beijing, they and their national guide joined local guides and drivers in Xi'an, Shanghai, Suzhou, Guilin, and Hong Kong. Every one of these guides took the group members to the airport, saw them off, and saw that they were safely guided to and from each plane and to and from each bus. This is a given. No group is capable of traveling in China without a guide in every city. It is a complex country with extreme language barriers for foreigners. No group in China can be left standing alone in a Chinese airport, wringing their hands, wondering what to do with themselves. Despite this image portrayed by Miller, it is not possible. Every agency operating in China is government-regulated. NO agency would be licensed in China after leaving foreign travelers stranded in airports.[/quote]
