Suzhou China trip

Suzhou is a neighboring city that in a few years will have Shanghai metro link connecting with it.  For now you can take a 20 minute high speed train from the Hongchaio train station.  

G trains run on electric overhead cables and travel up to 346 Km/h but are governed to 300 Km/h due to some train accidents in 2010.  

Tiger garden was a great place to come and recharge my internal batteries and forget the stress of work.  

Bonsai Garden

Roof tiles

I sat in this pagoda for a couple hours listening to the birds and the Chinese chatter of passing locals.  I packed some snacks which were really needed. 

I got a taxi across town and walked around a great local museum. The architect for this museum designed the Louvre in Paris.  

Pedestrian way shopping

Odd to see a camaro especially #13

It was a fun trip but like Qindao once you leave the international city of Shanghai it is very hard to be a foreigner.  To find and order quality food becomes an adventure.
