The Fawlty Towers of China

Clearly this Ziyouren Theme Inn receptionist needs to take a course in customer relations.


Asking for directions.

(I've named the awful receptionist Basilette)

My Wife: Excuse me, which bus can we take to the Botanical Gardens?

Basilette: How is it possible you don't knoow how to get there? It's so easy! Are you stupid or what?

My Wife: Oh, thanks for your help.


The next day as I pass reception. In English this time.

Basilette:  Give me your number!

Me: Pardon.

Basilette: Number!!!

Me: I'm sorry, I'm just going out, is there a problem?

Basilette: You give me number now! (She was now shouting)

Me: 301

Basilette: What?

Me: I'm in room 301

Basilette: Phone number!

Me: Why?

Basilette: For contacting you.

Me: Why?

Basilette: No why. Give me.

Me: No why, no phone number.

The grumpy which scowled as I walked off ignoring her shouts.

The Ziyouren Theme Inn,Xiamen. Dirty rooms and rude staff, truly, the Fawlty Towers of China
