Dear Mr. شيراز مالك, السلام عليكم
اسمي قاظم أكبر وانا, زوجتي, ابنتي وحفيدتي ذهبنا إلى الصين ضمن مجموعة الدكتور. خالد رحمن. كانت رحلة رائعة وإجازة استثنائية. اتضح أنها أشبه برحلة تعليمية مع تجربة تعلم هائلة. يجب أن أهنئكم على تخطيط الرحلة حتى أدق التفاصيل. ويجب أيضاً أن ينال السيد. يوسف والسيد. يوهان من ICT Tours كل التقدير لتنفيذ الخطة بفعالية- مثل الساعة تماماً.
كضابط متقاعد من الجيش, خدمت في حربين, أنا على دراية تامة, بمدى ما يتطلبه تخطيط الدعم اللوجستي لعملية وما ينطوي عليه تنفيذها. يمكنني أن أقول, لذلك, أن التخطيط من جانبكم وتنفيذه من قبل ICT تم بدقة عسكرية. هناك الكثير مما يمكنني قوله عن التفاصيل الدقيقة. لكنني سأذكر فقط بعض المرافق المميزة التي استمتعنا بها. لم يكن علينا إظهار جوازات السفر والتسجيل لتسجيل الوصول. الفنادق كانت قد استلمت بالفعل تفاصيل الضيوف. مرشدنا السياحي الوطني أعطانا مفاتيح الغرف بمجرد وصولنا إلى الفندق. تم تقسيمنا إلى مجموعات سميت حسب اللون المعطى لحافلتنا. ذهبت أمتعتنا إلى طابق محدد وفقًا لذلك. وتم إخراجها قبل تسجيل الخروج, وأرسلت مباشرة إلى المطار. لم يكن علينا شراء تذكرة الطيران والحصول على بطاقة الصعود إلى الطائرة. تخيل 200 الناس يقفون في طوابير لتسجيل الوصول في المطار ووزن الأمتعة. كانت ستستغرق ساعات واقفين في الطوابير. حصلنا على بطاقة الصعود عند الوصول واتجهنا مباشرة إلى بوابة المغادرة. يا لها من معاملة لكبار الشخصيات!.
Before leaving Pakistan we were apprehensive about the type of food we will get in China. We thought of carrying canned food as well. But what a surprise. We ate at Muslim restaurant in every city every day. Quality and variety of food was such that it was a treat every time. Yet some people wanted to go for Pizza and missed eating it. You might hear complaints from some disgruntled participants. I can say that these would be those of the kind who always complain and grumble. They become miserable because they see their glass half empty; unlike the happy people who see their glasses half full.
That is not all I have to say. I can go on and on describing how much was done for our enjoyment and what a great experience and education it has been for us. I must also say that our group was the luckiest to have Angela as our National Guide. We were called the ‘Brown Bus’. Angela was full of knowledge about the History and culture. But what made her dear to all of us was her warm personality and how much care she took for our comfort. She was more than a guide; she was our host and we became her pampered guests. She was there to provide help even after the day was over. Mahvish, my 19 year old grand daughter simply adored her. Angela’s personal charm made our group as one family and we would shout like children in response to every question she asked. Soon we became envy of the other groups. No other bus had the same harmony, friendship and tolerance as Brown Bus. On the last day as we said farewell to Angela; our spokesman asked what we thought of her. Answers came: She is wonderful; she is helpful, she is caring, she is affectionate, she is beautiful; she is the best guide- She is Professional. My narration would be incomplete if I don’t mention our last Local Guide. That was Mr. Yin. I called him Commnder Yin. It was amazing to see his love of romance, hear his mythical love stories, his grasp of historical knowledge and his humor. Yet he had been a military man. He created an atmosphere of participation by the Brown Bus riders. We enjoyed his stores told in his peculiar accent which we began to like very much.
At the end I would say that I and my family (We were a family of seven members) owe much gratitude to you, to Mr. Yusuf, السيد. Johan and to Angela for the most memorable vacation of our life.
With best wishes and regards
Kazim Akbar
