Private tour-guide in China?
Hi,all. I'm new to this forum. I'm sorry if my question appears inappropriate...I will visit Beijing in the coming October. Does anyone know if English-speaking private tour-guide ( or private assistant ) available out there in China? I do not speak Mandarin, need a helpful hand, a charming girl to go through the independent journey.
Also, my intention is to fly to Guangzhou and travel northward by train in one week. Should I book a flight in advance from home or is it possible to book a flight in Bejing after I arrive? I want to leave Bejing two weeks after arrival and will enjoy this city before we return home. Any info appreciated.
BTW --- From some other websites people speak high on a local agency FunInChina (www.funinchina.com or [email protected]), did anybody use it?

Why must the guide be a girl?

Yeah, I'd just as soon some butt-ugly guy if he was more competent.
Perhaps the OP is involved in some way with the suggested site.

I am no prude. all things being equal, I'd rather have a pretty girl as my guide too.
But all things are not ever equal.

Given the OP's rather strange English purporting to be from someone posting at a
"britishexpats" web site, I think you're right.
