We had a delightful week in China with Larry and Monica Wang. We divided our time between Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou- three large and flourishing cities. We caught the last part of the Chinese New Year period so we experienced some impressive fireworks displays. We met four of Larry and Monica's childhood friends from Taiwan who now live in Shanghai. I am pretty sure that the delicious Peking duck dinner was authentic. I spent the last day shopping with Monica and her friend Patricia at Pearls City. That is where I saw the most tourists-me included. Frank and Larry headed out to see if Frank could purchase an electric scooter! Turned out that the scooter doesn't cost much but the shipping will knock your socks off. Stay tuned re: The Scooter Project...watch out GM, Ford and Harley-Davidson.
We met the Wang's brother in law, CH, for our last night dinner-great meal. We headed back to the US on Sunday.
Now I am still trying to figure this out- I left Shanghai, China at 11am on Sunday morning and got into Los Angeles, CA at 9am Sunday morning!! How does that happen??? And by the way, where is that Thursday that I lost two weeks ago on the way to the Philippines?? Final tally- one missing Thursday and one extra Sunday. My poor camera and computer are still confused....
