I stayed with Lingling and her dog Bonbon for 5 days and I was very sad to leave. LIngling was an amazing hostess...she spent everyday showing me around Nanjing. I treasured the morning and evening walks with her dog. She showed me how to take the subway and bus...And since I do not speak Chinese, I would have been lost without her translating skills. She speaks excellent English. I am planning on returning to Nanjing next year with my family...Although we will be staying in a hotel (there are 4 of us)...I still plan on hiring LIngling to accompany us to non-tourist areas for her translation ability. She was a joy to stay with and I would highly recommend her home as a great location to stay at while visiting Nanjing.
