Arrival in Suzhou, China

Today we arrive safely in Suzhou, China to beautiful weather and a nice surprise. The girls and myself were pleasantly surprised to see the setting sun enroute to Suzhou Industrial park and to many of them, it reminds them of the "egg yolk" in the mooncake !

We were ushered into a reception hall where we were introduced to the parents and students who would be hosting our girls for the two weeks in Suzhou.

Hi~Ms. Ch,I see tt you guys are having a great time there! But what abt the food? (Oh how I missed Chinese food~I was from China.) Are they used to it already? I've not been to China for almost three yrs~T0T the last time I went back was during the SARS holiday~~~How I wish I could visit China again, I'm sure it would have changed alot~Your host families all looked pleasant. Wish u guys have a good time there! Enjoy your stay evey minute, every second!
