Today marked the 15th anniversary of Kathleen and my wedding day. I bought Kathleen a very large Chinese vase. These are quite common to see around China, but until now, we had not bought one. I got some advice from wives of my former-expat colleagues, Bill and Stanley. They both suggested that the Bird and Flower Market in downtown Suzhou was the place to buy one of these.The market closes early during the week, so I asked Nash, our driver to go there during the day today and buy a "da huaping" or big flower vase. He got the Chinese-guy price of $50 USD which I was quite happy with.
