After our cold trip to Beijing we flew back to Shanghai to catch the bus over to Suzhou, only to find that it was snowing in Shanghai! In Suzhou we had a few interesting experiences. Got off at the wrong stop in Suzhou and took a quite expensive taxi the rest of the way. Our first dinner was at a place where they spoke almost no English despite their English menu. We ended up getting a full set meal served to us, that 'we' thought we hadn't ordered. I guess 'they' thought we had, and resulted in about 15 mins of staring at each other. We ended up getting something that was note very tasty, and wished we had kept what they gave us in the beginning. Well we saw the sights: the old city streets, the canals, and the pagodas. Took in some cheap souvenir shopping and hopped on the train back to Shanghai...
