In Suzhou the easiest way to get around the city is by metro and it’s always been a great place to people watch. Today I saw two unusal things on my travels.

A young girl was reading a book amongst the many phone addicts on board. I have only seen this a handful of times when I lived here before.

Maybe a little difficult to see in this picture, but when the light caught this girls face it was very obvious just how white her face was. Her skin tone is quite dark and there is a distinct contrast. I’ve seen many young girls and women with chalk white complexions which of course is very different from the UK Trump colours and the Mission Brown tones of Australia. I find this fascinating and would love to ask them all as to why they do this because whatever the colour they seem to have the same beard line around the neck or jawline.

Today’s lunch, beef noodle soup 😍
