"This morning my company, Winchester Electronics set up a diver to meet us at the hotel to drive Jackie and me to Suzhou. The ride took just a little over one hour since we missed traffic. We almost thought we wouldn't be able to see our friends in Suzhou as the city announced an electricity ban for today just the evening before. I was fortunate that Chan, our GM, and some of his staff came into the office anyway so they could spend time with us. We spent time discussing our trip through China as well as caught up on some business with our key accounts. It was very helpful as I had not met the entire team before since my last visit to China for business was ~ 5 years ago. Afterwards they took us to a lovely restaurant that over looks Golden Chicken Lake. The view or the lake was really beautiful. Unfortunately it was very hot that day with temperatures close to 100 degrees so we didn't get to walk around the lake or visit the many gardens Suzhou is known for. Next time! But our meal was delicious with many local specialties of fish, eel and other. As usual, we also had many vegetables that were all so flavorful. It was a really nice visit and both Jackie and I were appreciative they came into the office for our visit, despite not having electricity!" -Karen
