- Eric T. MacKnight { Hi Judy! So glad that you have enjoyed "My Suzhou." I have been to Tiger Hill several times, and enjoyed it. When I sat down to put together "My Suzhou," however, I decided to leave it out. First, it is (along with the Humble Administrator's Garden) one of the best-known and most-visited places in Suzhou, and I wanted to focus on places (where possible) that were perhaps a bit less known, or less commonly visited by people coming to Suzhou for a brief stay, or living there as expats. Second, Tiger Hill is not one of my favorites, and not... }
- Judy { I look forward to your report on Tiger Hill, which I just saw this morning & loved. }
- Eric T. MacKnight { Did I miss a hyphen? I have a lot of editing to do in these pages, and a problem with photos that flip when they're expanded . . . a work in very slow progress. BTW, Loc, you don't need to go to China for many of the joys of a Suzhou holiday—just go to Portland and visit the LanSu Garden. Great teahouse, too! }
- Loc { "Thanks for that." Quietly reconciling Mr. You, you, and the 30 year leader of a great nation and the triviality of an historical blip and wondering if a hyphen adds texture to a line. I think so. }
- Julia Common { Really lovely, Eric. You certainly brought me to the heart of Suzhou. Miss it. Best of luck, Julia }
