Every year, I also use my holiday time to travel around the world to help myself. At the same time, at the age of twenty, I was influenced by San Mao, a writer from Taiwan Province Province, and devoted myself to the dream of traveling around the world. At sunset, a beloved off-road vehicle, white, carries me in the streets, beautiful beaches and endless deserts of various beautiful countries. Maybe I will meet a melancholy man with elegant manners and profound thoughts, and have an affair with a foreign country.
Nowadays, the dream of traveling around the world is still alive, but the behavior is much more practical. Only when I have traveled all over my country and accumulated knowledge and economy can I have the confidence to rush out of Asia. ...
After careful consideration, I decided to apply for a tour guide, so that I can travel for free and earn money, and I can't help but admire my clever mind. I really signed up and found that the requirements were quite high. In addition to physical requirements, there are also academic requirements, and Mandarin also has grade standards. It's not as simple as I thought. After half a year's study, you must first pass five cultural knowledge exams, with a wide range of knowledge and a passing rate of less than 20%. I was still working in the company at that time. In order to cope with this exam, I have no spare time at all. Every night is just a lonely lamp, a cup of coffee and a book. In order to cope with the exam, I lost my leisure to read idle books. The seriousness and difficulty of the exam are no less than a college entrance examination.
Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals, which made him famous in ancient and modern times, and I got my wish and became a leisurely tour guide.
When I worked as a tour guide for a period of time, I realized that the tour guide profession can also make me happy and worry. During the days when I went out with my master, I found it really difficult to be a tour guide. I have to get up earlier than tourists, go to bed late, eat late and eat fast. But I have no mind to appreciate the mountains and rivers, just thinking about how to arrange the guests to make them enjoy themselves. More importantly, if you go to the same scenic spot several times a month, the green mountains and green waters will become wasteland.
In the days outside, the tour guide is still the leader of the "party and government workers". There may be various emergencies when traveling outside, which are completely solved by the tour guide. I still remember that the first independent tour group went to Xishan, Suzhou. After the old tour guide arranged accommodation for the scenic spots, he returned to Shanghai that night. The next morning, I took everyone to visit the dome mountain and explained that all the guests were satisfied with the trip. I feel a little relieved. At noon, I went back to the hotel to check out for lunch. The tour leader suggested that the hotel arranged by the old tour guide yesterday was not good enough and asked to change hotels. I thought the guest's request was reasonable, so I agreed and arranged for lunch in the restaurant next to that hotel. But when our car stopped, the restaurant we had eaten knew that we wouldn't go to their restaurant for dinner, so we quarreled, saying that the old tour guide had booked it and they were ready, asking us to compensate them for their losses, and then called many people to stop. But the old tour guide ignored me at all. I'll call the old tour guide right away. The old tour guide explained to them that it was useless to make a wish, so he turned off his cell phone. I was sweating with anxiety, and the guests' mood began to get agitated. The two leaders had to rush back to the meeting. As a last resort, I had to call 1 10 for help, and then, under the protection of a police car, I enjoyed the treatment of a national guest. It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. I kept calling other restaurants to arrange lunch along the way, and then dispatched the car to send the leaders back to the meeting first.
I didn't think it was my fault, but I tried my best. However, the leader of the travel agency criticized me severely after the old lady Marx, who was demobilized from the army, knew about it. She felt that I had no confidence in life and no determination to die, and I didn't sleep for several nights.
Later, the old lady invited me to dinner as a gift and explained to me why she criticized me. It's his fault. The old tour guide ordered lunch without telling me when the food was not delicious. Moreover, due to my inexperience, when the market competition was so fierce, I took my guests to the restaurant next door for dinner, which led to such development. I suddenly understood what I said. It seems that to be a tour guide, you should not only serve well and explain well, but also understand social psychology.
Even after some unpleasant experiences, I still like the job as a tour guide. And when your efforts are recognized by the guests, treated as one of your own, and later sealed as a tour guide by the guests, that kind of joy is not something that others can feel.
Every time I join a group, I am always excited, because I can make new friends, enjoy the cultural and natural landscapes all over the country, and understand the living customs of different nationalities.
I remember when I took the group to Guilin, I had a high fever, took medicine and left on time without telling anyone. I always thought that as a tour guide, I didn't play well and would come again in the future, but for guests, I may come once in my life, so even if I get sick, the quality of service will not be reduced. In a few days in Guilin, I will accompany my guests to visit the Lijiang River and see some horses in the "Nine Horses Painting Mountain" competition, so as to guess how big my future official position is. When I visited the Peach Blossom Garden, I was attracted by exotic customs and forgot the way home. In the primitive tribe of Awa people, they shouted "dog meat" (meaning friends) together, only to find that they and their guests were all dressed in red for taking pictures, but they turned into "braised dog meat". At the invitation of the guests, I did a bamboo dance when I visited Miao Village. When the interests of the guests are damaged, do not forget their duties and try their best to solve the problem reasonably. In our spare time, we brainstorm together to adjust the atmosphere. Talking and laughing, let the guests really relax. When I was taking medicine, the guests found that I was ill, and the painful blame and care of the guests moved me to tears again and again. At that time, when the guests praised me as a tour guide in a travel agency and insisted that I take a tour group in the future, Mrs. Marx also smiled!
As the saying goes: no pains, no gains. Your own efforts will always pay off.
The tour guide profession is also a process of knowledge accumulation. Astronomy, geography, current affairs, religion, natural science and humorous jokes should be understood. Force yourself to study, study and study again. Moreover, I like literature, and every time I come back from a trip, I will calm down and write a travel experience, which is also a windfall.
I still remember that song was sung like this: Let me be happy, let me be sad, let me willingly give everything I have … And the job as a tour guide also makes me willingly give all my knowledge and enthusiasm.
