Just came back from the climbing gym, so I am some what tierd. I am also on the phone with the Haifa office, so you have only half of my attention. But still it's enough to share the great weekend we had .
We spent it in Zhouzhuang village, which is one and a half hours away from Shanghai. It is a traditional Chinese village which is divided by canals. The canals are used to give pleasure to the tourists...actually that's the purpose of the whole town. I didn't imagine that sailing on a boat, like they do in Venice, can be so tranquil. We enjoyed it so much that we did it again on Sunday.
So enough talking, here are the pics:
