Stories by our Tour Guide William Chua

Thought of sharing some stories told by Mr William during the Japan Trip which I think is quite funny. According to him, he dun take tour groups from China. As we know, Chinese nationals have a bad reputation abroad.

• One bad habit is they like to spit everywhere they go.... probably just in case they get lost... it is a way of tracing their way back...heheh
• They need only 15min to have their meals cos they like to stand next to the buffet table and eat there...thus the tour guide always get complained from the restaurants....
• When it is raining and they dun have umbrellas with them, they will use the hotel shower caps as an alternative... Imagine a tour gp wearing shower caps walking in a busy Tokyo Street... so paiseh lor...
• Talk loudly... A conversation can sound like a quarrel...
• Hotel rooms tend to be ruined after their stay... heard that there was once a chinese national was cooking instant noodles in an electric kettle provided in the hotel room resulting in a short circuit
• Some japanese hotel rooms have fridge filled with can drinks... Once a can drink is removed from their slot, there will be a sensor to charge that drink to their account... 2 stories here, some pple dun know abt these sensors and start taking all the cans out to "have a look" only to realise they cant put them back... The other is they try to drink by using a straw without pulling the can out of the slot... thus they dun get charged for the drink...

Then there are complaints of tour guides for the following reasons which are quite funny too..

• As u know, most tour gps tend to urge their tour guide to sing a song in the bus during a long trip... there was once a tour guide got complained for singing too many songs
• Failure to carry luggage for the tour members when there are no porters ard..
• Failure to ensure that flowers bloom in time for the tour gp to see...
• Failure to ensure that the pet dog is well taken care of while the tour members go shopping...
• Failure to prevent tour gp members from getting constipation... yeeeessss constipation...

Then there are stories of tour members "jump aeroplane" or "tiao peh kee" in Hokkien... He said that there are many cases of tour members from China jumping aeroplane in Japan to seek a better life... There was once the entire tour gp "went missing", leaving behind the tour guide and bus driver at the hotel.
