I don’t know what to do. I have left my bag with my really important belongings on the high speed train from Shanghai Railway Station to Suzhou Industrial Park. Is there any way I can get it back?
Hi folks! Tomorrow (Jan 27th) we’ll be getting the train from Suzhoubei to Hangzhou at around 9:30am. I’ve seen the crazy pics online of train stations around Chinese New Year, though I’m not sure how typical these scenes are! Anyone have any experience with how busy Suzhoubei is around this time? Any tips for how early we should arrive?
Hi everyone!
I am hoping someone can offer some insight! Who knows, maybe the person I'm looking for is even in this community and will see this thread! Years ago, when I was in high school, we had a wonderful girl who was a foreign exchange student at my high-school in Michigan! The name she went by while here was Sunny. I know her actual name, but I figured for privacy reasons, it is best not to post it. We kept in touch since then, however recently she's gone dark, and I haven't heard any correspondence back. I miss her and was hoping we'd be able to keep in touch until we were old and gray! We were keeping in touch via emailing her qq email to my Gmail. Any suggestions? Is she maybe no longer getting my email, and they are blocked?
Edit: Do I need a different browser domain? This happened before, but never for this long. I believe she works at a school, but I don't know what one. I used to have a wechat in high-school, however I can no longer use it as I don't have access to the account. I do believe I may still have a message with the phone number she gave me for her, when I set up wechat.
She was here in Michigan for the school year 2011-2012

Anyone know a good place to watch the sunset in Suzhou? Preferably not too far from the city proper but I’ll take all recommendations. Thanks!
Lol seriously when do people ever think its ok to steal my order?? Im a foreigner and so the delivery driver cant call me on the meituan app. My delivery driver couldnt find where to put my chagee order, so he leaves and complete other orders all the while my order is due at 9:30. And at 10:40 i assume my damn drink has already been consumed by him because hes nowhere near the path to my hotel. I dont see why he couldnt ask the staff and also he left the order open so
我真服了im not from china but this is certainly not what i expected. Im also really angry and i cant do anything about it as the driver has left the order on incomplete, rendering any actions i choose useless. To this specific meituan driver, i curse you. I hope everything inconveniences you in life lol keep stealing from customers youll get your damn retribution moron.
Hello, is there a WeChat group for pet owners? I am looking for a pet hotel or pet sitter for my cat. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
My health insurance will cover me anywhere so price isn't an issue. I'm looking to get a comprehensive health check so just want hospital/clinic that's nice with good facilities and English speaking staff. Somewhere around SIP would be ideal though it's not required.
I would like to apply for a tourist visa to Japan and I’m a foreigner from a country that needs to get a tourist visa because the EVISA is not applicable in China . The Japan embassy says I have to use travel agencies but all the ones I’m finding only deal with Chinese . Does anyone have information on how to do this in Suzhou ?do I have to go to Shanghai
I wanna make a dentist appointment there, possibly need to pull wisdom teeth, but depends on the consultation. Is the hospital good? Can they speak English? What are the pros and cons?
Hi all, does anyone know if there is a decent pharmacy around times square where I can pick up antibiotics for a stomach bug (bacterial). I don't want to go directly to Jiahui hospital.
Thanks,
Hello everyone! I just had an interview with Suzhou International Foreign Language School. I'm wondering if any current or former teachers have any feedback about the school and your experience there. Thank you so much!
Been told there is a chance there is a position opening in this school. It's much closer to where I live,so would definitely be interested. However would like to know what it's like from someone already there.
I pretty much live in the middle of Sam's at Link City Mall and Costco. By Subway the time is about the same. Which do you think is a better shopping experience? Sam's delivers (almost free) (most items delivered free if you spend 100y on your order) to where I live. I don't think Costco has this service. What's your input? Also seems the cost of membership is about the same.
Hello guys,
Im new to Suzhou and i will be staying here for a few months. Hows the nightlife in Suzhou? Are there any areas with bars and nightclubs more targeted towards the university age range?
Also any places where more international students hangout?
Thanks
Been in Suzhou a couple years now living close to Dushu Lake. I've seen people do paddleboarding and stuff on the lake, but rarely ever swimming. I would love to jump in some time, but some of my friends are worried about the pollution and bacteria. So does anyone know if it is safe? Or if not, if any of the other Suzhou lakes are safe for swimming?
As the title, where can I find these big Huawei or Xiaomi store that would have almost everything and looks kinda cool. This is in reference to Seoul Korea where there have this huge Samsung stores as a standalone store (not in a mall). Any where I can find in in Suzhou?
I am in SIP area.
I'm wondering if anyone has any good hair salons they go to where they are comfortable cutting foreigner hair types?
My hair is pretty curly so it tends to be a bit different from cutting straight hair.
I would be travelling to Suzhou for a work trip {5 days} early December and would have my evening and nights free. I would like to do some sightseeing if possible. My work would be at SIP area. What could I see at night?
p.s. I will be travelling alone and don't speak Chinese. I have been to Shanghai before and survived with the translation all. i am not into nightlife.
