Wow, how strange! Our itineraries ended up being identical without us coordinating beforehand.

Comprehensive Suzhou Travel Guide by a Local! -
No More Shanghai for MeI'm from Guangzhou, and I felt that Shanghai is just like any other big city. It's all about modern architecture; there's not much difference.

No More Shanghai for MeEvery time I come across posts about Shanghai, it makes me feel quite down. The after-effects of my trip to Shanghai were really strong. #LeavingShanghai #ShanghaiCityWalk

Listen, Suzhou Didi Drivers: If You Don't Wanna Work, Then Just Don't.I'm also speechless about Suzhou drivers. While waiting for a Didi at Suzhou Station South Square, I encountered two incredibly annoying ride-hail drivers trying to solicit passengers. They kept asking if I wanted a ride, even after I said no. One even told me not to stand there if I wasn't taking a ride-hail, as if he owned the place! Another one, after I again said no, started cursing at me, calling me ugly, a 'poor migrant worker,' and even threatened to 'kick me to death.' It was the first time I'd ever encountered anyone so utterly uncivilized. They clearly make their living from tourists and people who come to Suzhou for work, yet they look down on us, even though they're just workers themselves.

🫶 Taiwan First-Timer! Lost & Full of (Probably Dumb) Questions!It's because I'm not traveling directly from home. I'm visiting another place first, then transiting to Taiwan before heading back. Checking luggage during transfers is such a hassle, so I'm trying to pack light.
