Chinese Food

Dumplings (Shui Jiao or Jiaozi)

 Noodles and Beef Noodle Soup

 Hanna had to eat at McDonald's whenever possible.

That's how I was the first couple months of my mission in Taiwan.

Hanna actually did fine with the food. She ate it, she just never felt satisfied.

 I pretty much stuck to my favorite.

Beef noodle soup.

 Yum, I want some right now!

Another type of dumpling that I don't eat.

China Subway-ERA Show

Tanya was pretty amazing getting us to take the Subway

to see the ERA Show in Shang Hai!

 It kept getting more and more crowded...

 But we made it!!

 It was pretty neat to watch!

 And the Subway is very empty later in the evening

when it's not rush hour!

Wuxi

At the Holiday Inn, which was the nicest hotel we stayed in. 

All the hotels were nice, but this one was this nicest.

We thought the bathroom was interesting...

 Thankfully, you could pull a curtain down for privacy.

Anytime we found ice cream, Hanna had to get some!

 Anytime we found beef noodle I had to get some.

We walked to the mall. It was pretty far, but a really pretty walk through the town.

 Boba Chocolate Drink.

We got a Taxi for the ride back. 

Inside our 3 seat Chinese Taxi.

 Tanya sat on the floor, I think.

 The Taxi driver said no pictures.

Suzhou and Wuxi

Headed to Suzhou

 Lingering Gardens

 Snake whisky shots anyone?

 Oriental Venice

 It was a lot more trashy looking then I'd expect,

but some parts were still very pretty.

 The time change wasn't to bad, because we got to take

enough small naps during the day.

Traveling to Wuxi

 In Wuxi

 Lingshan Grand Buddha
