Qing Ming JieTalk about getting your prayers heard. I just wrote about how much I miss Shanghai now when I live in Suzhou, and then five minutes later I get a sms from my lovely friend Monica who asks me if I would like to borrow her flat (in Shanghai, on Ulumuqi Lu!) from Fri-Sunday? Oh yes please!!!!!!!!!!! This Friday is a Tomb Sweeping Day (Qing Ming Jie) in China, which since this year is regarded as a public holiday in the country (However, not so many people seems to know it, I just told my AYI and she looked at me as if I was Santa Clause giving her Friday off...).
We will all be celebrating Tomb Sweeping day in differently: Monica will be going to Hong Kong (Jet-setter girl), I’ll be on Shanghai house duty and Chinese families will honour past ancestors by sweeping graves and offering foods sacrifices. Cannot wait!

hello! just letting you know that I subscribe to your blog on my googlefeed, and I always enjoy your posts! My favorite part of China is always the food - are you brave enough to try the street stalls? thoughts/pictures of "traditional suzhou/shanghai street food" would be great...
