{Pearl Market}

Back in June before my friend Jackie left and before it got unbearably hot outside, Jeff and I visited the pearl market with our friend. Located on the outskirts of Suzhou, this market is the source of most of the worlds fresh water pearls... for CHEAP. I died and went to heaven. Jeff developed an ulcer and pulled out the calculator to resuscitate our budget. To be fair, I did pretty well, and only bought one thing with a little bit of peer pressure. However, it will be a must visit place before we leave China for good. Start placing orders now!
