I had the pleasure of meeting May at the train station. She was so pleasant and helpful in helping me to arrange the rest of my travels. She was very knowledgeable about the area, and I appreciated her sharing her culture with me. She chose the best boat captain, the best Rickshaw driver, and was able to fill in all of the tour information even though I came later in the day. We got everything in that I wanted, and even later that evening, she was my guide for the Master of the Nets performances as well. May went out of her way to befriend me and explain in detail the history and significance of everything we saw in Suzhou. She held all my bags, provided me with a lot of water, found great spots to take pictures of me, and looked out for my general well being throughout the entire tour. She even kept in touch with me as I traveled to other provinces. I really enjoyed May taking me to places like the flea market and the tea house where I could talk to locals and enjoy a typical day with them and her talking about the day's events. She knew a great restaurant with excellent food. I thoroughly enjoyed myself with May, and I now consider her a brand new friend across the miles! May was exceptional for me as a solo middle aged woman traveler.
