I mean, there are loads of train running between SH and SZ every day, both D-trains (the fastest ones), the slower T-trains and also N-trains. If you aren't too specific about what time you want to go u should be able to get a ticket. Before you used to be able to buy a ticket 7 days in advance but now I think it is only 5? (because of the CNY) Not sure... u should check at the station. <BR/><BR/>U can buy train tickets straight from the Shanghai railway station, or, u can use a ticket agent. I only know the agent I used to use when I lived on Shanghai: on Ulumuqi Lu, near a large KTV bar. If you are working in SH your secretary (or Chi workmates) should be able to help you order tickets over the phone however, and then you can get the tix delivered to your office... so there are many ways to buy train tix! It's def not impossible. Enjoy Suzhou -don't miss out on Tiger Hill! :)Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-68987869190174260932009-01-13T15:55:00.000+08:002009-01-13T15:55:00.000+08:00Hi Jonna I'm planning to go to Suzhou next week fr...Hi Jonna I'm planning to go to Suzhou next week from Shanghai but I've been told its close to impossible to get train tickets (return) now because of the coming CNY holidays. Is it true? Also how do you usually get train tickets?

He's always at that Starbucks, but who knows, maybe that's his hide-out where he creates his 3000 (+) secret list of HR managers in Suzhou... She was cute. And didn't look travaller-hippie at all. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous: hehe.. yup. I have heard that one. At various places. Often in China. And in London. Maybe next time I'll bring my recorder.. just in case :) <BR/><BR/>Flyingfish -hehe, that's so funny.. Yesterday I had a scone and a hot chocolate... and then I felt a bit bad as I wasn't going to the gym that very day. I made up for it today though, 1 hour 10 min at the treadmill. Maybe I deserve another scone now? ;)Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-72524512567040725382009-01-13T12:11:00.000+08:002009-01-13T12:11:00.000+08:00You know, I know it would not have been cool to ju...You know, I know it would not have been cool to jump in and save her, but I kind of wish you had, just for the mental image! <BR/><BR/>I was in Starbucks yesterday as well.
