Okay, I admit it. What was intended as a blog primarily about Shanghai has become a bit of a travel blog about China. I think this can be excused given that my blog that I intended for more personal stuff (www.sunsandsnorkelling.blogspot.com) remains blocked in China. (Thanks for that, Ms. Nanny!)
However, an uncoming post is going to be a nice politically-oriented one with a bit more of a Shanghai spin to it, but in the meantime...TO ZHOUZHUANG!!! The No. 1 tourist water town tourist destination in China. Sorry, I meant the No. 1 watery town of China, as the posters at the bus station informed us... Fortunately, the tourists there are mostly Chinese, (as everywhere in China), which means that as a westerner, the experience is a special one regardless. Enjoy! (We did!)
Incidently, this trip was with our visitors of the month (yes, they just keep coming). Intrepid, round the world (sort of) in 18 months nomads (no longer) Seb and Anne-Marie, now back in their home and native land of Montreal.
Yes, there are still some locals who use these birds to fish - they are actually all tied to the boat by a long cord so they can swim around with a tight rope around their neck so they can't actually swallow the fish they catch...
Budda not happy...
A little laundry...
A little to the left Ms., a little more...that's it!!
