We took 15 bags with us. If you include our "personal" bags we carried on the plane, it was 22 items we had to keep track of. Notice our duffle bags from Larada's Army Surplus. John loved the military look.
Our street: Xian Guo Jie. Or something like that.
Our apartment building. Count up four windows to the far left, that window is J's, and the two windows next to it are ours, too. We have windows on the other side as well, looking right into the apartments of our neighbors. Whether they are in their underwear or eating, we're all one big happy human family.
Lest you thought we were roughing it, here is proof we are not. This is the list of stores being build right next door (click on the image for a closer look). Notice we can't even get away from Walmart here. At least we'll have a DairyQueen to keep us happy.
A view of our apartment building, right next to the new construction. The canals are all over Suzhou, in the old parts and the new. Wish we had our canoe...
