Lazy Dayz in Suzhou


So Suzhou hasn't been the most eventful town, but we have met a lot of great people here at our hostel.


The first two days we were here it rained a lot, so we had little motivation to go sightseeing and lingering through all the gardens.  Our first night, like I mentioned we went and watched the light show with the two Israele girls, Shiri and Nathalie.  The next day, we did some laundry, and were going to go see some sights, but at one point, Darren and I just looked at eachother and silently agreed that we were going to stay in for the day.  Later that night, we went on a little boat ride.  The intention was to go for a small boat ride through some of the canals, but we ended up going for a river boat ride, which was fairly expensive, and quite boring.  There was however, some "excellent" entertainment to help pass the time.  Luckily for you all, I have a small clip of our entertainment.  (I just have to figure out how to post it.)




 We did make it to one of the 70 some odd gardens here.  We went to the Huble Administrators Garden and it was nice; but, we figured one was good enough to get a feel for them all.









We also went to the Silk Museum.  We passed it twice without realising.  It was okay.  We did get to see some actual silk worms.  They were cool. 







We also found a pretty great Dim Sum restaurant.  


They have these things called Green Tea Buddha cakes which are pretty fantastic.  I have no idea what they're made of but they're good.
Ya, otherwise, Shuzhou has really just been a place for us to kill a bit of time.  Sorry it's not more exciting.
