On Friday, 5-15, we were driven to Suzhou in about 1 1/2 hours. Suzhou is a much bigger city than Nanqiao, and is more modern but also has many more traditional Chinese sights.

My family currently lives in a small rural town in North Carolina, USA. In May 09, our 9yo daughter and I first traveled to China with my husband for his work .

Memories!
Oh, the memories all these pictures bring back. I had to laugh at your comment about how much the Chinese can fit on a bike - wait till you see what they can get on one of their cows (I can't remember if they are water buffalos). What a great weekend! You are certainly making the most of your time there.

family transportation
I don't know that I'll have a chance to see a cow/water buffalo or whatever in the city! But, why do we in America think we need a minivan to transport a family when they fit a family of 4 on a bicycle???????
