John Holden: The way you organized the trip was superb and from a cultural aspect, gave everyone a good insight of Chinese customs, the civilization and their achievements both past and present. With such a large group of people, filling three busses, I was amazed how smoothly it was organized. Everything seemed to fall into place with military precision, even the long journey to Henan province.
Considering the vast age difference of the group (from children of four years old to adults well into their sixties), I was pleasantly surprised at how everyone was kept happy.
your government have a superb emissary who has carried out a difficult role of showing foreigners the sights and culture of a truly great nation.

Iain Naylor from Scotland ( iwnmnaylor@tiscali.co.uk ): Hope trip 3 is going well. Just thought I'd drop you a line to say how much everyone enjoyed our trip to China. One week on and everyone is still talking about it to anyone who will listen. We have all decided that we would like to return probably in September 2006 .

Paul Burkinshaw (Tel: 07973421860 ): ‘First I would like to say thank you for the fantastic trip that you organised. My students and I are very eager to sort out next years trip as we have already talked about, which will give them time to save up and sort out holidays etc. We would like to see the five main temples of Honan, Wutang / wudand?, O Mei, Fukien and Kwantung.

Dave and Elaine Blaney from Leicester: Can we say a big, big, big, big, big 'thank you' to you for organising the culture trip to China. Elaine and I have been married for 35 years and travelled far and wide, BUT the trip to China recently was the most fantastic trip that we have ever experienced.
Everything about it was great - all the hotels, restaurants and meals, trips and visits to places like the Great Wall, The Sacred Way, The Forbidden City, T. Square, Zhengzhou, Xian, the Terracotta Warriors, the workshops, the time training with the Shaolin monks etc etc plus your hardwork, and the hardwork put in by Cindy and Vincent made it a trip of a lifetime.
Since the culture trip, I have started tai chi myself - Elaine and I train with Gee at Bedworth every Thursday - so the trip worked for me.
------------
Alan Winner ( alanwinner@thealanwinneracademy.com): It was a successful and enjoyable trip, we have learned and gained. It's all thanks to you and your effort.
-----------
Andrew and Becky ( a.austin63@ntlworld.com) Becky and I really enjoyed the whole trip. I liked having the breakfasts every morning!
---------------
Jane Frew ( jfrew2001@yahoo.co.uk): I think we are all a bit stunned by the holiday - it was so packed with visits, cultural experiences and training - it was way beyond our expectations. And the hotels were excellent.
------------
Gee ( _taichi@five-elements.demon.co.uk): All the students have told me that they felt really 'special' during the whole of the trip and this made the experience even more memorable for them. They will all go back to their classes full of renewed enthusiasm and commitment, as the training they received was not only of the highest possible level, but reinforced everything they are learning from their Lee Family training.
-------------
Paul Carter from Northampton (Tel: 01327842005): The accommodation, food, training and trips were outstanding.
-----------------------
Gary Snowdon from Newcastle: Its hard to remember on specific high point as it was all overwhelming. You country has a culture that is so rich and beautiful it is very difficult to describe.
--------------------
Angus Ewart : Your tour guides were so good, they deserve a medal for coping with us!!
Again if I was to express how I feel about them it would take a long time.
------------------
Gareth Fish: Ive spoke to a lot of people and everybody agreed the trip was very well organised. I think out of the whole trip i enjoyed my time in Beijing the most the people seemed to be more friendly towards westerners. My Plan is to start saving hard and hopefully under your Guidance come back out to Beijing and train for maybe 1/2 years. I hope things are not two hectic for you, looking after 120 people must keep you very busy.
