After the garden we went to lunch which was better than i had anticipated. On the way jfk decided to try to fit in with the culture but instead just came off looking like a racist American. We then went to the Suzhou museum, a recent installment in the city. It was very nice but i'm still not a huge fan of museums. I'd much rather just experience the city in it current state which is actually what we did next. We had about three hours to kill until our train back to Nanjing so a few of us went exploring. When we got away from the main drag we experienced some very culturally rich areas. After we decided that we were totally lost we hopped into some rickshaws and headed towards the cities pagoda. Unfortunately, our request was lost in translation and we ended up at a "massage" parlor". The drivers all laughed as they called the girls out to the cart and made rude hand gestures. I would explain further but I'm sure you can use your imagination. After that fiasco the drivers actually took us where we asked.
The pagoda was amazing but the hike to the top definitely took it out of us. I didn't realize how out of shape i was until i reached the top and was gasping for air and seeing stars. Thats about it for our excursion. The train back was about as eventful as a train can be. Overall it was a good day. I'm looking forward to more excursions like this one. One more week of hard work and then we will have plenty of time to explore! I cant wait.

I did this once, and then went back in to see where it put my comment. Must have done something wrong, because it said that there were "0" comments. So I will try again, but I am sure that I will not be as witty as previously when it was off the cuff.
I think it is cool that you saw Natalie Portman. Please tell me that you went over and introduced yourself instead of just stalking her.
The rooms look nice. I think that clean, air conditioned, and a modern toilet are all that one could ask for. And from what I hear from you mother, the last is most important to you. You always call her when you are running back to use the facilities.
The gardens look beautiful. The shots that you took look great. My favorite is the "Rickshaw Drivers".
Well I am going to say good bye again. Your mom and I are on our way out to see Pirates 3.
Love you,
Your Mom and me

Shopping more often for produce is able to reduce waste materials and raise the probability of actually ingesting fresh fruits and vegetables. Many people buy their food once per week and sometimes forget to nibble on their clean produce. When you check out a store slightly more often, stuff won't spoil as frequently and you'll enter into the habit of smoking of eating refreshing produce right away. Appenffk8dti
