Back from cHINa for quite a few days now already, its been quite an interesting trip giving me the chance to immerse myself in the ever rich Chinese history. But like they always say nothing is perfect, throughout the trip it was just non-stop trying to get us to spend money. Ya, i know that all group tours are like that, but it was dam* obvious that my tour-guide has a part in it too...as in like she gets commission from our purchases as well. Not only that there were times where we found her to be cheating our money..like the tips which were meant to be 4 RMB a day became 4 SGD. Such bad experience did spoil my trip quite a fair bit. And as if that wasnt enough, on my last day at the hotel, during my check out...the hotel staff came complaining that my sis and I had smudged the bed cover. Immediately i knew what they were refering to, curz the night earlier i had seen a pink spot on it the size not more that 1cm. Since it is such a small spot i didn't even bother about it. And now they are wanting us to pay for both the bed covers amounting to be about 40 SGD. Of curz we are not willing to pay, and when the manager came down, it wasn't as if he was trying to cool us down..but barked at us, asking how come we never complain if it was there initially. What the Heck!! I was totally pissed....though we did pay eventually, but it was a lesser amount and after another manager took over the case.
So, just wanna use this to warn u guys against the same thing if you ever decide to go China on ya own. Lastly, my tour-guide told us before we reached the airport on our way back that eventhough there were some unhapy events, we should leave the bad things there and being back only the good ones...all i can say is, i'd choose to leave everything back there. ha
