I recently learnt that Wuxi is currently the fastest growing city in the world, more and more people are flocking here (and why wouldn't you....the smog is beautiful!) and the rate of construction is unbelievable. Every day, there is something new happening - either a building being torn down or a new one going up. Currently, they are ripping up the road we travel on to get to school, the whole road is covered with small holes that prove to be a challenging maze as we cycle around them, trying to avoid being jolted out of our seats. Only in China would you actually be allowed to cycle through these areas - the whole area is filled with jackhammers, big catepillar trucks and men digging. Each morning and afternoon when we cycle through, there are many shouts of 'hello!' The two men in the pictures were saying hello but then got all shy when I asked them for a photo. The top photo is me trying to convince them to have their picture taken. People are so friendly here. Well, another Friday is here and I'm off to Shanghai for the weekend to visit Ashley and Tim, who is here for the weekend. Looking forward to escaping Wuxi for a couple of days. Take care, Anna.
