Suzhou Higher Education Park - University Amenities

been almost two weeks that i have not blogged. felt a little sorry for those who are frequent visitors to this blog and do not see any update. i am just plain lazy... no excuse for that...

anyway, went for a hair cut at the university area (高教区). it was a decent cut without complain because of the low cost and i mean low cost... just 15rmb (S$3.4) that come with a wash, cut, wash and blow. what do i expect for such... i look more handsome now, at least this is what my son told me over the dinner table when he said "daddy, you look more handsome than me"... haha...

talking about the university area, the place has all it need. minimart, restuarants, saloon, Internet bar, kfc, mcdonald (newly open), clothing store, shoe store, and many more. the main thing is that item over there are low cost. i believe the reason for that are the main crowd would be students and usually they are not wealthy enough to pay high cost stuff. on top of that, some of those places employ student to run the business so the cost of running is reduced.

i frequent that place for lunch with my colleagues, a simple lunch cost us about 6rmb (a bowl of pork-chop noodle) to 15rmb while similar lunch would cost double at other places. too bad that the two places that we went to are closed, either for renovation or something else that i am not able to figure out. i will have to figure it out in couples of weeks time.

meanwhile, i have to source for other low cost alternatives...

for those who do not know where i am talking, here is the map for your reference. sorry, it is mandarin.
