Dear Mr.Daniel Li
I want to thank you very much for operating our 4-day Beijing tour for my family. Thanks to your help as well as your tour guide--Allen. All three of us had a wonderful time and enjoyed a trip with minimal worries.
Right from the start, I was impressed with your quick response to my initial requirement list. I gave the same requirement list to a few different travel agents. Your turn around time was the shortest and your proposal was the best, satisfied most of the requirements, and was within budget.
As you can see, Mr. Li, you did a wonderful job and we are very satisfied clients. I have been telling my friends about my experience with you and I sincerely hope that you will get more business from them should they decide to visit Beijing.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,

More about foot massage and its benefits:
Foot massage or reflexology has been practised in China since the 4th century BC. Then, during the time of Song Dynasty, (960 AD -1279 AD), an acupuncturist named Wang Wei, held that every organ in the body is linked to a specific reflex point on the feet. He said the precise and skillful massage of these points can touch the vital functions, do away with toxins, improve blood circulation and calm nerves. The practice was banned during the Cultural Revolution 30 years ago. But in the recent years, foot-massage parlours have mushroomed throughout Beijing again. It has now grown into an industry in China! Foot care is often neglected by many people. Frequently being massaged helps to enhances your health. Foot massage improves the immune system and keeps the body's natural balance. Beides the health-care method, foot reflexology also can at least cure minor ailments, ease head and stomach discomforts. Foot reflexology in the West has gone through various phases of acceptance from the traditional medical community. While once regarded as superstition by Western medicine community, foot massage or reflexology is now being looked at in a more favorable way by both the medical community and the general public. top
Foot massage parlours ( reflexology clinics, foot massage studios )
Most of the massage rooms are clean and cozy. On the wall, you will find the wall-chart indicating massage points linking to organs and body areas such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, bladder and lymphatic system. You either choose a big room for gatherings, and a small room for private meetings. People lie side by side in a row of Barcaloungers, relaxing on a sloping bed. So very often the massage rooms are sometimes used as a social place for business negotiation or private meeting. Most of the massage studios are equipped with big TV screens and some offer personal TV set with earphones. All kinds of soft drinks are provided if necessary. top
