light rain in suzhou

It been almost a week for me in suzhou. Had visited quite a few places in suzhou. Walking around pretty much that my feets were so tired. Yesterday was a public holiday in china, if i am not wrong, it should be the dumpling festival. 

This place is like Kaoxiong, quiet and peaceful, except the residents here travel on battery-run bicycle instead of motorcycles. Btw, i am living in the Industrial Area of Suzhou and will need to take Bus 146 to the Ancient Town of Suzhou which is the city area. Traveling there is pretty okay and it costs 1RMB (~S$0.20) for the ride. But coming back can be very, VERY packed with people. Thats why the day before my sis and I decided to walk back home, which took us about 40mins. Abit crazy right!!! Hee Hee. 

One thing I realized about Suzhou is that it is really a water-city, with bridges connecting everywhere. One can see small boats in the river touring people around to see the places. The boatman/woman sometimes sing their local country songs while rowing the boat. It is a beautiful scene. 

For pictures, can take a look on my facebook. :)
