We are experiencing a snow storm today in Suzhou - apparently a very rare event. We have been told that most winters never see temperatures below freezing at all. An interesting observation - the Chinese use umbrellas when it snows.
After church, we went to lunch at an English pub called "The Drunken Chef" named after an ancestor of the owner who was beheaded after he got drunk and spilled food on the Duke who employed him. After waiting 45 minutes for a D-grade grilled cheese sandwich, I would have beheaded this chef as well.
After lunch, I dragged a unenthusiastic family to see a Suzhou garden called "Master of the Nets". I figured it was a rare opportunity to photograph a snow-covered Suzhou garden. Marco and Maria were enthusiastic, but the rest of the family, including Kathleen, would have rather been playing Wii in the floor-heated TV room at home.
I have posted some additional pictures from this day and the Great Wall at Snapfish.com
