Abort!

Last night in Hangzhou after parting with Fanny and Thomas, Tom and I decided to check out some live music that was playing at a nearby jazz cafe. It was just awful, even after a few beers. Avoid Friend's Jazz Bar in Hangzhou at all costs, unless you're interesting in old ladies swinging their hips and forgetting the words to songs while be backed by a mediocre band.

Today we were scheduled to take a four hour long train trip to Suzhou. Once we got on the train, however, we reconsidered. Our train would be passing through Shanghai, and would not be arriving in Suzhou until 6pm. After reading through the Lonely Planet's entry on the city, we decided that due to the weather and our limited time planned to be there (departing at noon the following day), we would not be able to truly enjoy what Suzhou has to offer. Thus, after a rather uncomfortable 3 hour train ride, we jumped off the train at Shanghai.

Ahhh. It feels good to be back.
