3rd day in Suzhou, China

---

The girls had lessons in the morning and an interesting session of learning the art of sewing from a master - the trick of sewing it right is that they have to look beautiful both upside and down as well...Ruo Shuang thot she did a good job until her buddy pointed out to her...hmmmt the underside needs to be just as nice 😊 A tough job for our nygh gal!

U can see a sample in the pix below - but remember these are professionally sewn...

Night time - some of our girls were given a treat to crabs - it being the season to eat crabs in Suzhou now..

More pix of the girls with their foster parents...cosy, comfortable and well taken care of...in fact many of them felt very happy that they can have an "additional daughter" during this time!
