I am in Suzhou

Day 2
6:45 am Wake up

8:30 am Mr Xing came and pick us up to office today and we met another colleague that came from SG.

Today had briefing session with the team here with the new requirements. It was nice to finally meet them after talking with them over skype for the past 6 months. :) They are really nice.

Today raining whole day here. We couldn't catch a cab back, and one of the colleague here sent us back to hotel. Really very nice of her. On the way back, she told us a famous story about one of the road name. Must find out and paste the story here. :)

Temperature dropping fast ... cold.... hope the sun will come out soon...very sleepy now...going to bed.

Day 1
1:15 pm Reached PuDong Airport (@ Shanghai)
Weather is nice and cooling

4:30 pm Reached Gloria Hotel (@ Suzhou)

Went walking around to familiarise with the environment and SHOPPING. :) Greatest reward is bought the 三国 dvds and 金枝欲孽 dvds. Original some more and only cost 230 RM (which is 46 SGD). I just check out the dvds in SG, even after discount, cost me nearly 100 SGD. What a great buy! :D

But really eye opener with the traffic here. Forever get honk by the cyclists and cars there. Very chaotic traffic there...and especially motorcyclists and cabbies do not follow traffic rule ... so have to really watch out when you cross the road.

Got another culture shock when I am trying out some clothes. Because the mirror is outside of the changing room, so as I went out to change, a gal just dashed into the changing room. I quickly stop her to get my things out and then waited outside for her to finish changing before I can go in and change back. But guess that is somethig very different compared to singaporeans, they do not go by the rules. :p
