Me Time!

Inner Mongolia! wow … share more with us when u are back!
U DIY or with a grp tour , private tour?
nowadays, quite a number of people do private tour ie get guide/cum driver from social media/tiktok ,instagram, contact thru we chat and go to china n meet the guide… i wonder how good and how “safe”We went on a CTC tour - 18 pax altogether. We signed on with 2 of my husband’s siblings and their spouses, so we were the largest sub-group in the tour group. My sis-in-law was the one who selected the tour first, then we and the other couple decided to join in. I have no experience of private tours in China. I think I wouldn’t want to do a private tour unless someone is highly recommended - unless details are well-documented, things could go awry. And a lot depends on the tour guide - if they have their own way of doing things, or their opinions of what you should see etc, you could end up with clashes! At least with a tour company, it’s usually spelled out more clearly what you can expect, and there is a company to complain to.
Inner Mongolia was interesting, but the distances between places was quite long. We felt we spent too much time on the coach just getting from place to place. I don’t think they could have managed the tour any better given the distances and the time constraints; maybe if the tour were longer the balance between travel and sightseeing would be better. But that would increase costs, and my sis-in-law didn’t have time for a longer tour.
I wasn’t too impressed by the local (China) tour guide - 50yo man - I felt he didn’t do a very good job of the explanations etc, and was rather condescending towards the minorities, the not-so-great Chinese language of Singaporeans, and the need to make toilet stops every couple of hours! The Singaporean tour leader who came with the group was great, and helped smooth things over along the way, and also did a lot to make sure that some of the participants’ needs were accommodated (mostly in their 60s and some in their 70s).

But it’s so quiet here, a dying forum…sad to see the once vibrant ksp dying as a result of a changed forum format

Yes to Me Time! My me time usually after work or during the weekends when I can finally breathe and recharge. Whether it’s reading, watching a show, or just enjoying some quiet, those moments are gold. I’m always eager to discover new ways to enhance my me time—anyone have tips to share?

My “me time” is usually after my family has gone to bed. I will do some skincare like put on face mask while browsing some Facebook posts, packing unwanted clothings and books, and run thru’ my bills…not sure if these consider as“me time” activities 🤭
