Suzhou and Yangyangs

---

Ben came to hostel in morning still feeling the effects and went to a Lonely Planet recommended restaurant called Yangyang's (their neighbouring restaurant had seen the improvement in custom so copied the Lonely Planet logo on the front!). We ordered sweet and sour pork and jousters (dumpling type things with veg in) which were epic. We got what we didnt eat in a tray for later. Then we hit the hypermarket Carrefour (French i think - imagine Tesco's extra x 4 with turtles and eels for sale) and bought some notepads for diary and vocab and water for 70p.
Ben went to a school so i went on comp in hostel to email family and then sat down and had a beer (35p for 600ml) with Arwan my new Chinese room mate who spoke no English and we pointed at phrases in the Lonely Planet and brushed up on my pronunciations which are harder than the Chinese mentality. Then to bed.
