A rainy day is perfect for finding a Jiangnan-style garden, sipping tea, listening to the rain, and daydreaming. Fangta Park offers free admission. Bring your own tea, and there's a 10-yuan fee for an empty cup. You can spend the whole afternoon there, watching raindrops fall. In the evening, Liu Xiaohuai suggested visiting Suzhou's "Big Pants." It was set. We went to the Hepburn Garden at Jinhaihua, the best spot by Jinji Lake to see the "Big Pants." A gathering of friends of ten years brought plenty of laughter, leaving me with a few more wrinkles by the end of the night.
