We took the G (bullet) train from Shanghai to Suzhou for a day trip which was quite the adventure.


We had NO idea what to do or which line we should be in.  So we just got in a line and hoped for the best.  Thankfully the guy in front of us in line spoke english and helped us purchase the correct tickets.

Once we had our tickets secured we walked around looking for some lunch.
KFC was the only brand that we recognized/looked appealing. So although we had already eaten there once that week we went again.  Did you know KFC's in China (at least the locations we went to) don't serve french fries or soda?  Sides with your chicken include: bread, corn or chinese soup and drinks are chinese tea or soya milk.


Everyone waits in the main terminal - then exactly 10 minutes (and I mean exactly) before your train arrives you can enter into the gates that take you down to the train platform.
The train trip only took about 30 min - it was amazingly empty and incredibly clean.
