As you all know, the China experienced a devastating earthquake in Sichuan provence (think spicy food) a few weeks ago. When we arrived in Shanghai the airport shut down for three minutes of silence in honor of the victims of the disaster. For three days the flags were at half-mast, and all entertainment was canceled for the whole country, including TV and the acrobatic show we were going to see (luckily it was rescheduled). Today on the way to Suzhou I noticed the flags are now at full mast.
