We’re planning to take some time off in the next couple of months and why don’t you come and visit us? Our spare bedroom, which, by the way, is huge, is available all the time. We’d like to show you the sights of Guangzhou and try delicious food here. I can’t wait to see you soon and hope your jobs are going well Take care Regina
