The best guide you can ever have






The best guide is one that

  • Introduces all the best local food.
  • Brings you to the sights in spite of the complicated maze of streets.
  • Understands the subway system thoroughly.
  • Still brings you to the sights even though he has been there before.
  • Always knows what to do.
  • Speaks as well as the locals.
  • Is never boring and can share jokes galore with you.
  • Is a stimulating conversationalist.
  • Can make you laugh.
  • Can give you a nice warm hug when you are feeling cold.
  • Picks you up and sends you to the airport.
  • Is thoughtful and kind.
  • Is like a superman, always there when you need him.
  • Teaches you some local words of language.
  • Enlightens you the history, culture and arts of the country.
  • Listens and responds.
  • Always have the guidebook at hand.
  • Explains the history and background of each sight.
  • Shares similar interests with you.
  • Can laugh at a monty python classic and a happy tree friends clip (I beg to differ for this one).
  • Helps to order food as the other is handicapped in the language.
  • Is smart, witty and enlightened. Just like myself!! Wahaha..

Christoph, thanks for making this Vienna trip such a memorable one and for being such an efficient guide. Ja ja...awaiting for your trip to Singapore.
