China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Stretching The Cocoon]

At the Silk Brocade factory in Chengdu.

They are stretching out a silkworm cocoon! This is how they make a silk bed comforter, one layer at a time! They sell these silk bed comforters too. I was tempted but ended up postponing buying one.

That's Joan Caesar in the back helping to stretch out a cocoon.
