We went to Sapporo to take back our cat.

We went to Sapporo to take back our cat we had left in Haruna's house while we were traveling. Haruna, her son Keita, and Haruna's husband Hideto were at home. Our cat was well. We returned at a little after noon.

 

 

 In the second day in China ( August 25, Saturday ), we went by bus to Suzhou or Soshu 120 km west from Shanghai. It took about 2 hours, and our party were 15 tourists and a guide and the driver. The city of Suzhou has a population of 2350,000, which was more than that of Sapporo and far bigger than we had expected. It seems that every city we know is far bigger than almost all the cities in Japan. Suzhou was a lagoon city, and it is called "Venice in the Orient".
