Its a pity that you cannot stay in Shaoxing any longer. Allow me, then, to take this opportunity to say something by way of a farewell. First of all, I wish to thank you all for the cooperation and support you have given us in the past two and a half days. You have kept good time on all occasions, which made things a lot easier for me. You have been very attentive when we had anything to tell you. Also, you have been kind enough to offer us suggestions on how to be better tour guides. Id like to add that you are the best group weve ever been with. Two days ago, we met as strangers; today, we bid farewell to each other as friends. I hope youll take back happy memories of your trip to China, including your two and a half day visit to Shaoxing. As you have probably observed, Shaoxing is developing very quickly. When and if you come back in the future, the city may have changed beyond recognition. Meanwhile, I will continue my job as a tour guide. I hope to see you again in the future and to be your guide. Please enjoy your flight to Guangzhou. Once again, thank you for your cooperation and support.
