Day 5 (Nov 9 Thursday) Suzhou, Lake Yangcheng and Shanghai:

After breakfast (Justin got up early and walked around the Lake Tai. Well in hind sight I should have done the same) we proceeded to the second last stop, Lake Yangcheng for lunch. It took us a little over an hour to arrive at the fame breeding ground of the fresh water hairy crab. We sauntered in the neighborhood market for about an hour. I got two bottles of rice wine with honey for our banquet of crab at "Water People" Restaurant. As usual we all shared the common expenses, wines, drink etc etc. The crabs are very good and we'd one male and one femal according to the local custom. And thanks to Michelle, I got an extra female crab. So I've effectively exhausted my cholesterol quota for 2007!
