August 16

Jek, the head chef of the Fairmont Hotel took Keith Dear, Rey Azares, John Straffin, and myself on an early morning bike ride into the neighborhoods of Kunshan.  It was a culinary tour of some of the local food.  Our first stop was at a noodle shop.







Keith's noodle soup with duck.















Our next stop was to try out the buns offered at a street stand.   











We saw a lot of interesting scenes along the way.  Here is a one man barbershop.











There were quite a lot of people out washing their clothes in the river.









A woman selling a small bowl of meat by the side of the road.  She had a fan to keep any insects away.






Women selling freshly caught fish in small bathtubs.
 












Our last stop was at a fried bread stand.  As you can see, this is not a health food tour but all of the food was delicious.
