    Connie and I at an old market in Suzhou while riding around the city. I'd met Connie back in Shanghai and she'd taken the train to Suzhou.: by luke_collings, Views[225]
         		 The baked sweet potato salesman giving me the finger because I wouldn't buy anything.: by luke_collings, Views[287]
         		 A crew of old boys painting the trees outside my hostel to protect them from the Winter cold.: by luke_collings, Views[231]

         		 Don't eat here it's awful.: by luke_collings, Views[203]
     
    I ordered beef and got a pile of fat. The picture doesn't really do this justice but trust me there isn't a ounce of meat here anywhere.: by luke_collings, Views[214]
         		 Whilst riding around town I bumped into a local on a very flash mountain bike. We cycled together for a while and he invited me back to his shop hoping I'd buy something but he had nothing I needed. Finding a shop like this in China is very difficult.: by luke_collings, Views[237]

         		 The old ramshackle shops contained all manner of strange things. The Chinese seem to take great pride in their traditional crafts whereas so many other countries don't.: by luke_collings, Views[398]
         		 The gates to the old city were very striking.: by luke_collings, Views[215]
         		 A rickshaw rider taking a break and watching the world go by.: by luke_collings, Views[223]
         		 I was particularly struck with the bus shelters that looked very pretty and wondered whether or not we could get some of these installed back in the UK.: by luke_collings, Views[249]
     
    One of the many bridges that span the vast network of canals around Suzhou.: by luke_collings, Views[225]
         		 A great shot of the outer walls of Suzhou and a temple just inside. Without a bicycle this photo wouldn't have been feasible as it was taken from a park well hidden away from any tourists.: by luke_collings, Views[183]
         		 A wall of garbage lining one of the less touristy areas of Suzhou. Back to reality with a thud.: by luke_collings, Views[193]
         		 One of the many places you can buy a pretty sketchy looking chicken in the old town of Suzhou. This was a local market that was buzzing with action that I found whilst doing a round on the bike.: by luke_collings, Views[203]

    Facing South down the canal outside my hostel.: by luke_collings, Views[188]
         		 Facing North up the canal outside the beautiful Ming period hostel I stayed in in Suzhou.: by luke_collings, Views[207]
         		 Quite possibly one of the best Yorkshire puddings I've ever had courtesy of Clive at his fantastic English pub in Suzhou.The place is a must visit for anyone traveling through Suzhou. The staff are extremely friendly and the food better than anything you'll get at home.: by luke_collings, Views[203]
         		 The entrance to a business park outside Suzhou. I really wish that we could build some interesting entrances to ours in the UK.: by luke_collings, Views[317]
         		 A pretty lake and bridge next to the bustling highway between Shanghai and Suzhou.: by luke_collings, Views[287]

         		 What happens when you're not keeping your eyes very peeled. This photo is called
         		 I stopped after 4 hours for a drink and bought a sprite while the locals shouted at each other. Several Indian guys turned up for a chat and while we chatted in English the locals starred in quiet interest. : by luke_collings, Views[264]
         		 My first glimpse of the Chinese waterways. : by luke_collings, Views[230]
         		 Some graceful fishermen paddling their boat out for an afternoon work. A pleasant spectacle after all the smoky factories and legoland structures.: by luke_collings, Views[199]
     
    Trailing behind a rickshaw and wondering whether left or right would be the safer overtaking option.: by luke_collings, Views[204]
         		 David over from HK on Business admiring the tiny pony before taking it for a spin.: by luke_collings, Views[350]
         		 Pinging and ponging back at base. : by luke_collings, Views[316]
         		 A woman rickshaw cyclist next to a Porsche Cayenne. All that cash and who ends up looking seriously cool?: by luke_collings, Views[345]
         		 The Rainbow Danger Crowd rocking out on stage.: by luke_collings, Views[340]
     
    Doug looking like he's thoroughly enjoying boxing a ghost on the dance floor of Bar Lune. Either that or fighting his way out of an invisible plastic bag.: by luke_collings, Views[360]
         		 Me breaking into a smile and wondering/thinking how amazing everything around me is.: by luke_collings, Views[211]

         		 The Yoga, seat pinching cat busting some phat moves and looking menacing.: by luke_collings, Views[230]
     
    Every time I left my seat for anytime throughout the week regardless of where I was sitting in the hotel bar this cat would sit exactly where I'd been perched and then look at me like this.: by luke_collings, Views[204]
         		 A very big bowl of spicy beef noodles. This was my first experience of venturing off on myself. The waitresses couldn't have looked more like they wished to be elsewhere if they tried. The food was excellent though.: by luke_collings, Views[196]
         		 Good old Don, who kindly took me out locally to sample the delights of a hole in the wall noodle restaurant. Best meal I've ever had for £1.: by luke_collings, Views[220]
         		 Lost in a world of strangeness. The poor dog looks on and draws an expression similar to someone waking up on a desert island after floating there unconscious.: by luke_collings, Views[234]
         		 Dog standing and wondering what the hell's going on whilst the entire bank looks on, much I'm sure to the vain moron owner at the counter.: by luke_collings, Views[290]
