Beijing Discovery Tours

I had the opportunity to meet a nice guy from Germany today, who bought some Chinese cooking classes in Beijing for a friend of his from Beijing Discovery Tours, which I thought was a really nice gift on his part. (Sorry for the shameless links to our website, but somebody has to do it.) It’s nice when people put some thought into what they give others as gifts, rather than just buying something just to be done with it. Although this is more of a business blog, I have to say that my sister is the absolute best at this, even though she has no time with her almost 2-year old son and busy life. Somehow for every occasion, birthday, Christmas, wedding - whatever it is, she comes up with something both thoughtful and practical, every time. That’s just one of the many reasons that I care so much about her, but she is a great example of a person that puts the feelings of other people in front of her own, and the world would be a better place if there were more people like her. Not that everyone should buy Chinese cooking classes in Beijing for their friends and loved ones (I had to get back around to the topic), but we should all probably set aside some time in our busy lives to really think about how much our friends and family mean to us, and email or call someone that you have neglected recently. It happens to all of us, time just goes by too quickly, but we all really should make an effort to stay in touch with those people that we really care about.
