This weekend, Joe and I caught a train to the ancient city of Suzhou, a very beautiful place. This was our first experience on Chinese rail, which is fairly comfortable-- similar to an airline. The waiting room at Suzhou was a new experience. People ate, played games, slept, and generally "hung out." The restrooms were also something new. Instead of the conventional Asian toilet-- something I've grown to expect-- there was a communal trough into which all lavatory users contributed. I didn't take a picture-- it was just too gross. Hope you aren't disappointed. Above, a woman selling lotus stems in the "Humble Administrator's Garden." Below, travelers play a board game in the Suzhou Railway Station.
