It is my first visit to the land where I was born, where most people have hair and eyes like mine, where I’m about as
tall (or as short) as everyone else. Still, I am a foreigner, laowai. I left Taiwan in 1974, when I was an eight-month-old
infant, to 71 by an American family in Detroit. Taipei, 72 about one hundred miles from the southeast coast
of China, is a crowded landscape of skyscrapers, Buddhist temples, and weaving traffic.
I’d never wanted to visit Taiwan or my 73 family before, but here I am, feeling as if I never want to leave,
magically 74 to a place and people I’d never known. Later, I’ll look back and wonder if this intense sense
of 75 was a dream, an illusion of desire.

You might think that a good tour guide needs to have a PhD in Art History or a family that dates back for seven
generations in the area. Neither could be further from the truth. If you are reading this, you already have the best
quality in a tour guide: curiosity. A good tour guide always wants to know about his/her surroundings and to learn about
new things. Besides, a good tour guide also possesses the following qualities.
A good tour guide is sensitive to the needs of others. Although he/she can be as gregarious and funny as Robin
Williams, or as knowledgeable as a professor, neither talent will make for a great experience unless the tour guide is
sensitive enough to realize when someone’s feet hurt. In other words, a good tour guide needs to be aware of the needs
and limitations of his/her guests and to realize when they are tired, hungry, bored or simply unable to do the things they
have signed up for.
A good tour guide is well organized. He/She always has plans, back up plans and contingency back up plans to help
deal with unforeseen problems and complications. Being organized also means that a guide does not forget to meet
someone or show up in the wrong place. He/She also knows when the museums, parks, restaurants and other attractions
are open, and stays current on all local events so that he/she can suggest lots of things to do and see.
A good tour guide is knowledgeable about the local area. This includes places to go, places to eat, things to do,
museums, and local attractions. A good tour guide always puts together a collection of local attraction brochures and
keeps them with him/her. He/She also sends such materials to his/her guests before they arrive so that they can tell
him/her what they are interested in seeing and doing.
