Hi team,
There is so much to say about this amazing country of contrasts.
Yesterday, Brian and I went on the ‘Harmonious Train’ to visit the ‘Humble Administrators Garden’ in Suzchou. The Chinese love gardens, and everything has a symbolic deeper meaning – but basically they are trying to recreate their amazing countryside on a smaller scale. Every time you turn, a different beautiful view is framed either by a carefully placed tree or a hole in a garden wall and the Feng Shui creates harmony.
In contrast, a visit to a 5 star loo (yes, they are graded) demands huge will power to survive. I now have amazing bladder control and can manage all day with only one visit!!
China is proving to be all that I had dreamed about since I first wanted to visit thirty years ago. People are fascinated by us – particularly my blonde hair – and stare wherever we go.
Back in two days. Pity.
Best love,
Patti
