On August 20th, 2007, the Cazzatos moved from Peoria, IL to Suzhou, China as part of an international assignment with Caterpillar. Tony has a new job as the "New Product Introduction (NPI) Manager" for Motor Graders in Asia and will part of a Caterpillar team building a new factory in this city west of Shanghai.
We are starting this blog as a family to share experiences, updates, and photos from our new life in China. In just our first week and a half we have had lots of interesting things to talk about. As you can imagine, China is a very different and foreign place.

The photo shows our new house in Suzhou. We live in an expatriate compound called Golden Lough. Several other Caterpillar families also live here as well as foreigners from all over the world.
The house is quite modern compared to our historic home in Peoria and is well equipped with flat screen TVs, a video front-door intercom, satelliteTV, and wireless internet. It does lack some basic western amenities like a decent washer and dryer and toilets that accept toilet paper. More on those challenges later.
