Mystery of the missing raised a guide case

 We hired a tour guide disappeared, but we have not paid tour fee in the case of the missing! This leaves us with a puzzle, led us to endless speculation.
Things have to begin at the beginning yesterday. morning, accompanied by a big brother play drive to Suzhou, about 11:20, we have just under the Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed, direction of travel while being hesitant for the occasion, a woman Qiaochuang street and asked us to do across the glass guide , said that as long tour costs 20 yuan, but also to show us her tour card. brother asked to see a tour card, then agreed to ask her to do guide. just when we were in the car there is a vacancy, she immediately got Lakaichemen .
guide surnamed Zhou, general appearance, skin micro-black, slightly fat, looks relatively simple. She told us earlier in the road, then turn around our car conductor, a little from the side of the highway junction down. We were intend to visit the Tiger Hill has the Pan Gate III King and Humble Administrator's Garden three spots, but Chou has advised us not to Tiger Hill, said the mountain was too sun at noon, and recommend us to set park play, it is one of the largest in Suzhou garden, and said there is a place Flirting Scholar. We are right to listen to her on the set became interested in garden to be decided to go play park, and then out for lunch.
car to be opened soon Park, we bought tickets and entered the garden. first entered the garden gate, Zhou guide to remind us that in addition to the garden to play, you can also free boat, drinking tea, we listened very grateful; She also told us that because of the garden has a staff explained to us, she does not go in to wait for us at the door, she very good rest, we deeply understand her.
be really nice park, Liu Bowen inside the tomb of Emperor Qianlong Yubi Inscription , folk customs, temples and other sites galleries and flowers, there are many legends associated. We walk through the promenade among the boating in the blue above, within the tea in the restaurant,UGG boots clearance, enjoying the scenery pleasing to the eye, hair nostalgia for times past,UGGs, real sense of a good mood, all feel worthwhile trip.
tour the park in our process of coming to an end, the tour guide there to greet him in due course, join us, go to the restaurant for tea. We open a little later, out of the garden is already o'clock pm on. We are ready to find a place to eat lunch, Chou suggested that we eat in the vicinity. brother did not agree, ask whether weekly point lead far enough away to eat a little better place, Zhou said that it would lead to the Bachelor Street, where is . because nearly two in the afternoon, the store patrons are not many. We quickly ordered five dishes and one soup, and soon a succession of dishes served out. food is also more in line with our tastes, we quickly ate a clean sweep, ditch filled trench level, cup messy. bill, just to eat five hundred and fifty, the price is also acceptable.
After dinner, we immediately drove to the Pan Gate Scenic Area, on the way shopping is about to get a silk, Zhou guide to We turn into to see, since she chatted with us told us that as a tour guide, she took visitors to a place like this, whatever we pay any attention to what she can get a little is 3 dollars, the unknown true and false); We also reasonable to explicitly tell her that we can go and see, but not necessarily to buy, mainly easy to take her We went to a silk market, a door to see a machine is spinning, a few women are past men working next to the machine. I do not know if this is called reeling, but I finally personally experience what it meant to . corner of the mall to show us the whole process of silk processing, on the wall in the form of pictures to show us the entire life course of silkworm. in the week, led by guide, we soon came to the sale of silk products stores. mall a variety of colorful silk, silver, despite the week-oriented things that we said here is cheaper than outside, because it is factory direct, but we do not want to buy any of this, looked at the silk is also not cheap (a discount should 500 or so), more is not much interest. weekly shopping guide to bargain with our first hint that Kandao discount for each purchase should be sold, but we think discount for each purchase is expensive, unmoved. Later, she really did not see us means to buy things to take us out.
we continue to the Pan Gate Scenic Area, and soon reached their destination. in the week under the guidance of lead, we bypass the main entrance, a side door to the area, because There is free parking and main entrance fee is charged for parking. I thought she was secretly grateful for a return, thought to have her lead the way save time and effort and money.
side door near the city of Suzhou ancient city wall and surface door, which is set the door in two scene three scene. Upon joining the area, weekly guide to rush forward, said she was walking back to the trips to the bathroom, let her in the upper wall for a while. Until this point, we do not to think, after all, people have three impatient. But when I took my brother a full circle on the wall, after ten minutes have passed,Discount UGG boots, left waiting for her to not come, so she did not come to the right. brother whispered, What the hell said that this tour will not be playing any tricks ah. I said, maybe she was suffering from diarrhea.
But twenty minutes later, she still did not occur. We had to lower the wall, to the following to find her. I let They went to visit the ancient city wall Big Brother next phase Temple Wu (Wu Temple), I went to the area near the toilet door and looked, no; I ran up the wall to find, or not. Then, a brother-phase swim Wu Temple out below me, I thought they have found the tour guide, but big brother has not asked me to find.
we meet, I feel can not wait, already half past three or so. Fortunately, I have two years ago who swam here, so, in my leadership, we are surrounded by scenic walk around the lake center. Noon, but the lake promenade to walk, but felt the cool breeze, very refreshed. because of the time tension, set the door of one of the three King Ruiguang tower we do not, on top of the tower is said to have a relic of the evening will be given the light of good fortune, I do not know if true.
hurrying parking, and we suspect there may be other guides We do, because our tour guide fee has not given her money gone she will not do. But we are wrong, we look around all over the wicket did not find her here. We are considering whether to wait for First, next to the small shop owner told us so we ask the tour guide said, do not wait,cheap UGG boots, these people from making money as early run. We told him not to pay her tour guide fee, the boss may appear more of these things more, he said that she could receive another big business, she earned almost Tickets commission also estimated, so you do not care about the 20 dollars, and say that you should not wait any longer, they must go, this is not your problem . Getting remark, our hearts find a little comfort to the next, previously thought not to pay the money went, who owe the idea of finally eliminated.
when we ride, ready to go to the next spot Humble Administrator's Garden, the concerns and concerns they had, and she left without saying goodbye, will not take us anything? one thought of it, some of us nervous, and quickly see a bit of camera phones carry their wallets and other valuables are still in it, when the find out what no less, we relieved. we think carefully, who this week lead a lot of doubt, constitute a mystery:
first identity in doubt. She is genuine or fake tour guides? start to finish, She did not give us a very detailed description of very professional sites had some of her words of introduction sites are not accurate with hindsight, like her garden in Suzhou hand in hand, Yes. Her photos on the card guides are also somewhat vague, is likely to be false documents.
The second is of doubtful origin. She is a stranger or a native of Suzhou? Although her familiar road of Suzhou, but beginning to finally, we have not heard her say Suzhou dialect, the commissary owner said she was outside, should not just say, it is estimated no less foreigners in Suzhou, dry sort of thing.
third is missing because a mystery. She Is it because we did not buy silk products, resentful and leave? she is playing with us because we feel that not much water to go fishing? she received her husband to help her contact a larger business? she not think that if Tiger swim with us Qiu and Humble Administrator's Garden home too late and too little of our remuneration? she was premeditated or temporary emerge the idea?
These doubts constitute a great mystery case, let us not figure out, speculate on the variable. The only certainty is that she got from us has certain advantages, such as tickets, meals, shopping rebates, but in the end she got from us much benefit, which in turn is a mystery!
Fortunately, we did not result in loss of what to catch a lunch than we received, we should say we got an advantage, after all, in her leadership, we take a detour less, spend less the parking fee, tickets, the cost of meals and the like have been that we should take, she received the commission and Fortunately, but in this I would like to remind those interested in traveling to Mix sound from the car, be careful this kind of scam, so that both life and wealth!
