Man - it is Damn Hot here!

I went to dinner with Scott and Thomas again. A co-worker Yuan (a girl) took us to a Japanese restaurant. She ordered sooooo much food - but it was all very good. We had some sushi and sashimi, some grilled lamb chops (those were great!) Shrimp tempura, eel, beef with mushroom and onion - and probably 5 of 6 other things that I can't remember.

We had watermelon juice to drink - which was pretty good but I needed some water. I had them bring a glass of ice water - and took a little sip before I remembered that I probably shouldn't drink it because it wasn't from a bottle and I don't know how good the quality is. So - hopefully I won't get sick from it.

After dinner Yuan took us to some shopping. It was down a street I hadn't been on yet so it was good to know. She also gave us some advice for shopping at other shops which was good to know. We found a bookstore (Yeah!) so I will have to go back and see if there is an english section.

We have our plans for tomorrow's travels. We will leave Wuxi at 3:00 and travel to the supplier . They are located to the south about 4-5 hours. So - I will be going through different parts of the country after all. We will stay at the supplier for about 1/2 day or more and then return to Wuxi Wednesday night. I think it will be a good trip and I am looking forward to it.

Not sure if I will have net access to be able to update this tomorrow or not - if not I will do so Wednesday night when we return.
