left for nanjing after my lessons in the morning and sat on the comfortable 弹头 train which was newer, cleaner and faster. It was well worth the price cos of the 1hr 40min train ride (travelling at top speed of 160km/h) Though it was only half the speed of the Mag-Lev train in Shanghai, what was impressive is the punctuality, the efficiency and orderlinness of the train network. Even contemplated of using the train network to see as many cities in China as possible in the future.
it was a gloomy day both in Suzhou and Nanjing cos it drizzled for almost the whole day. Upon arrival, visited the 南京大屠杀纪念馆 which was the main purpose of my visit to nanjing. it was all black, grey and white at the memorial and it was jus... ... sombre. Having read books about the massacre and watching the recent docu-movie last December, I am now going to see it for myself.
Seeing the skeletons of the victims ranging from as young as a few months old to over 80 years old reinforced the fragility of life. but these were not the work of mother nature against humanity but of humanity against humanity. so treasure the people around you and do unto others what you want others to do unto you.
tried the crab baked in salted egg for dinner but still find that the version that i am familiar with is more palatable. We'll go eat it when we get back. but must find out which place serves the "best" which i believe you have an idea, lol
brought face-to-face to the severity of my decision before the end of today and felt that things needed to be further discussed so that we can become truely what we want to be. On hindsight, the next day was really a good day for us cos we have truely become. I was able to chat on the phone ala no holds barred. He even said HI!
