Last week I unexpectedly had Thursday and Friday off and had to work on Saturday. So I hopped on the train and went to Suzhou and Shanghai. My main plan was to meet with with friends in Shanghai. But I also wanted to do some sight seeing and shopping.
In Suzhou I wanted to go visit a silk factory. But it was raining and I didn't want to wander around in places I did not know, so I went to the center of town where I stayed in March and strolled around the market and temple area there. One place I happened upon was a stall selling hand made pottery from what I could tell were hobbyists.
From Suzhou I went on to Shanghai where I met with friends for dinner and lunch. Unfortunately since I had such little notice for my schedule change I did not get to contact everyone I wanted to contact in Shanghai. But next time I will. But since most of the people I know there work during the day I had time to go to the Shanghai Museum and my favorite place in Shanghai the Urban Planning Museum.
More photos to come but I am tired from getting lost tonight on my way back from Carrefour. I'm going to bed
