Tan talks about Kay

“I want to say that knowing Kay is my destiny. Firstly, I never knew Kay before but just saw her at the Reclining Buddha temple while she was guiding for her tourist and I did for mine. The area that I stood up was close enough to hear what she talked to the tourists. She impressed me a lot with her good English, informative and friendly personality. I told myself that she is the one who could be a tourist guide in my dream team.

I tried to describe Kay to many friends of mine and finally got her phone number. I introduced myself through the phone and had given her works for many times without seeing each other. I knew how she looks but she didn’t know how I look. (Does it sound like Charlie’s Angels?)

I told myself that giving a job to a stranger is like taking a high risk as I have to assure to my customers that she must be a good one but Kay doesn’t get me disappointed in her at all.

Until the day that we met, I feel so fortunate to get her as a really stranger into my life as we found that the way of our life is quite similar especially a part of being independent and a happy funny girl.

The benefit of being cheerful makes her look young but she is full of experienced. She probably traveled in Thailand and abroad by herself and through work, more than me. I can’t find any reason how can you get bored of having her around, at least talking about where she have been to and how many books that she have read, shouldn’t be enough for one day tour for you with her already."
