Day 17 On our way to Suzhou

To get from Hangzhou to Suzhou, we basically had to go around Shanghai, about a three hour ride. As you can see, it is still hazy, and the traffic continues to be a mix of all kinds of vehicles. After 17 days in China, McDonald's is beginning to look pretty good.

This city was likened to Silicon Valley in the US. Many computer parts and electronics are made here. Our guide said that 1/4 of all computer monitors and 1/3 of all mice in the world are made in Suzhou.

The grocery store had a variety of things, but I think this is a picture of the wine and liquor section. We also watched a man roasting hazelnuts.
