WuXi part 2

After we walked around the city we had a massage!  One of the greatest things about China is you can always get a great massage for cheap.  The place was beautiful and had a pond with fish in the middle.

When we left we saw a Chinese women all dressed up and was performing different stories in the street.





















Then we came across the statue for money and wealth.  We also saw a lot of interesting dragons on the roof tops.  

  



Then we went out for a big dinner with My Boss, Song May, and several other friends of my bosses.  A few from the states but mostly from China.  We had a huge dinner and drank a lot of beer and plum wine!  In China when you go out to eat it is usually family style.  You always start with cold dishes (usually cold veggies or other small appetizers), and then the dishes get bigger as the night goes on.  The Chinese eat every part of the animals body so some weird dishes can come out.  The strangest item we ate that night was bees, bamboo bugs, and crickets.  The bees were the best!

We also used our first squatter toilet, basically a urinal in the ground for girls.



Then we went dancing!  The band was Chinese and played American songs!
