Wuxi's competitions are among the most well-organized in the world, and I have an excellent collaborative relationship with the Chinese Fencing Association.

The city has always pleasantly surprised me. It's clean and orderly. The way they drive their scooters reminds me of home. We understand each other.

I love food, and every evening I try different dishes consisting of both fish and meat.

I hope to return soon, maybe on vacation.
