你好蘇州和上海 | Nǐ hǎo sūzhōu hé shànghǎi | Hello Suzhou and Shanghai!

2016 06-03 Chinese YuanWhen this goes live, we will be in the Chinese city of Suzhou, but we’ll be leaving for Shanghai, by way of Wuzhen, a historical scenic town on the Yangtze River tomorrow!

I’m really looking forward to the Shanghai Museum tour and the free time we’ll have to shop on Nanjing Road! You know I already have bookstores in mind to visit! There’s at least one foreign language bookstore I’m aware of, but I’m also looking for copies of  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (哈利·波特与魔法石) and Wuthering Heights (呼啸山庄) in Mandarin/Cantonese (I’ll take either). Either way, I can’t wait to get back and share the amazing photos I’m sure I’ve already taken!

  1. Nanjing Road requires nerves of steel to negotiate all the people insisting on selling yiu watches, handbags and girls… But if you make it half way down look out for the people dancing on the street – real, old fashioned joined up dancing – underneath a balcony with a small orchestra. Magical.

    1. It was interesting. I stopped responding to the knock off sellers and either stair vacantly off into space or put my hand up in their face.
