Wuxi

Wuxi is a mir 6 million people. Just tiny. Everything in China is built up..... Really up. It's incredible how high all the buildings are.

We got up at 5:45am and had another great breakfast buffet. Tons of stuff. I expect Johanne to keep this up when we get home.

We went to an ancient local big guy's house, it was 400 years old.... it was pretty cool. I think I'm maxed out on information now there's been so much coming in I've probably forgotten how to drive.... My brain needs to make room for all this stuff.

We then went to a pearl manufacturer. Johanne bought a nice necklace for $30. Probably buy it for $15 at Walmart Hahahaha. They farm the pearls from fresh water clams. Each contains 10-40 pearls. Most are 10-30 years old and 85% are rejected and crushed and used for medicinal purposes.
