Start to work for myself
Posted April 27th, 2012 - 3:09 am by from Shantou, China (Permalink)
Recently there are many friends advice me to be a tourist guide because i know Chinese history ,literature and culture very well.I think it is a good idea,however,i also know it is very hard in the begining.I am a brave girl,i am not afraid to give it a try.You can pay what you wish,because i am a fresh girl.
Maybe years later,i can start my own company.build cheap hostels for backpackers.or even open a travel agent..

-Why do i want to try?Well,some of my classmates work in travel agent,they said they had to cheat people every day.I do not want to cheat people,but at the same time,i like travelling and help people,so i think it is good for me to do by my own.

-My Travelling Experience.When i was in the university,i start to travel alone inside china.I quit my job in Jan of this year, and went to Beijing in Feb.,then travelled to several cities in china.On March 14th,i start my first trip abroad alone.I visited Singapore,Malaysia,Thailand,Laos and Vietnam.I planned my trip well and came back home safely.

-About My city Shantou.Shantou is a very beautiful bay-type city which lies in the south east of China.It is one of five national economic special zone,also a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese.With long history and special traditions,Shantou impress many tourists.It has not only marvelous marine culture,but also ancient Central Plains Culture.Shantou to Guangzhou is 543 kilometers,5 or 6 hours by bus.Shantou's coastline is more than 289 kilometers.The city center is 187 miles away from Hong Kong,180 miles away from Taiwan.And Nan'ao is the only Island county in Guangdong Province.

-About going to Another city.I am free to go anywhere.

-For some people really like history and chinese culture.AS A LOCAL GIRL,i can show you some small villages and streets for special view.If you dont mind it is very old,And i need to tell you,many old buildings are destroyed and disappearing,so it is better for you to come to shantou as soon as possible.I love history,so it is very sad to see them disappear or destroyed by people.I advice you stay longer,We save our culture very well,and it is a very old city.If you want to live with the local people,eat the local food and feel the REAL local culture,Here i am.Dont think it twice.
