Suzhou Trip

The sun is accompany us on our way to Suzhou, same as in Shaghai, our Shanghai friend told , it's been raining for 20 plus days, thanks God it's a sunny day. in Shangahi, we went to Tain Chi Fen - the culuture garden and Si-Nan Mansion - similar to Shien Tai Ti but more elegant.
going to Shien Tai Di and we decided to go to the moive " Yao Sister " at UMC theather, the ticket price is 80 RMB each, twice the price in Taiwan, so expensive, however, we treat it as the first expereince. it's a good movie and we love it very much.
Meiling buy her a pari of shoes and make her so happy, happy is what money can buy , but not happiness. this is what we know clearly.
Forum on the 14th is a great one. in the morning of 14th, I took Meiling to Chin An Temple, one of the famous temple in Shanghai and we stayed for an hour, have coffee before I leave for the Forum meeting.
Forum is good on 14th, and it seems the Retreat is on the move, it's my call now to make sure there's take home. over eating is a problem, even with Meiling beside, I can't risist the pain-fried pork dumplin, it will kill me one day.
Daniel send car and driver to my hotel in Shanghai and we decided to visit Chew Villiage before enter Suzhou, we ate outside Chew Villige with an unpleasent experience, she order the turtle for RMB 200, the taste is awful and the pice is scaring... then we move inside Chew - an over commercially taken old town, you hardly can image with an admission of RMB 100, inside are small commmet market, you have to pay again? if I can say anthing, the only plce worth visit is the Sheng Houst - the formal richest person in southern part of China - Shen Wang Sheng who build his career by conduct foreign trade in lat Yuang / early Ming dymsty.. again, when review the up and down story of Shen, you know in Chinese way, politician look down to business man. a very turth.
Suzhou Pacific Hotel is a great place to stay, Daniel get us a very cheap ( less expensive ) price. we take a walk at Ping Ching road - it's much better than Chew villiage , but with the ancient and culture flavor, We enjoy the walk so much.
Suzhou Musume, Chung Wang Fu , Chew Chen Garden were places we went on 15th, it rains again, but in the Chang Nan Garden, raining is not a bad thing.
Meiling and I haven't been together for such a long time. it's good to take this trip.
