Reached Suzhou

Bengaluru to Delhi to Shanghai to Suzhou. One day's worth of traveling. Not bad overall, though I don't sleep as well on planes as I used to.

Air India was OK, nothing to complain about. Food could have been better but I've never seen really good food on any flight. Always hate the cramped toilet but fortunately the flights weren't too long.

The journey from Shanghai to Suzhou was in a taxi, however the driver didn't speak English. He was very polite and efficient. Most of the road was very good and he was able to drive at more than 100kmph. Didn't get to see any of the city though, it was dark and raining and the road was mostly bounded by Walls and trees with not much visible beyond.

It's cold out here, nothing that we haven't seen in say, Noida but it was certainly noticeable coming from Bengaluru.

My temp accommodation is right on the banks of a lake, very modern and comfy with a good view. Spent most of the day half-asleep, have to take care of some formalities starting tomorrow.
