This funny little lady was our tour guide on the hop on hop off bus for the downtown loop. She was of Asian decent and spoke perfect English except her accent was as if she was speaking Chinese. She was so enthusiastic about what she was telling us and was so knowledgeable - you certainly couldn't fault what she was saying...... well that's if we could understand what she was saying! We were on the bus for about 45 minutes and she drew breath about 3 times. There was lots of exaggerated hand movements and pointing, but we pretty much had to work it all out ourselves.

It was an unforgettable experience.
