Sandy

This email is sent as a 'thank you' for the very pleasant surprise we received when 'Effy' delivered a present to me in Yangshuo on 16 May. I understand Effy learnt from Arthur the day before that 16 May was my birthday and conveyed this information to you. In any event the cake was readily consumed by the four of us and I am touched by your personal thoughts; it was most kind.

At the same time Adriana and I would like to thank you for taking us to dinner in Guilin. The choice of dishes that evening by you and Sissy was different from what we had experienced beforehand. The food and your company was most enjoyable.

Many thanks for the careful attention you have given to what has been a comprehensive tour in the time we had available. We would be pleased to recommend your service to other Australians and other foreign visitors.

Regards

Brian McCubbing

Hi Sandy, 

Just a quick note to say I've received your email and I intend to give it my full attention! but as it is our end of tax year which requires me to sit in the office for a while until I've sorted it all out, and as we have organised to go to Bali next week for 10 days to celebrate Arthur's 65th birthday, I am a little rushed, so forgive me but I will have to leave your request until I return mid July. But be assured that we had the trip of a lifetime and we enjoyed China immensely.

Regards for now,

Margaret
