Yesterday we toured the water village of Zhouzhuang, dubbed the "No. 1 water village in China." That sounds impressive, although I'm not sure how competitive that category is. This was definitely a rustic outing, as we were strolling through canal-bordered streets of merchants yelling...err...trying to entice us to buy. We took many wrong turns, often stumbling across clothes lines full of laundry. The highlight of the visit was the temple area, a large garden with many bridges and small shrines. The picture of the Buddha statue below was taken at one of these shrines.
Today we are visiting the silk factory in Suzhou, and then it's back to Shanghai for the night.

Dr. Drake, I am not sure if you received my email or not, but I fear that I need to be back in Korea for some business by the 24th. Therefore, I would like to attempt to meet you in Kyoto instead. Are you in Kyoto for more than one day?
I hope everyone is enjoying their trip! Best regards!
