Hello all,
I know that Suzhou is hot on many people's favourite cities list (including our dear departed Raoul) but has anyone actually taught at this revered establishment? I have been informed the campus in question is the downtown one,still waiting on addresses of past/current teachers,but any input from the Saloonies well acquainted with the city would be greatly appreciated.  bjbjbjbjbj

If you don't like cold then I would not put it on a go-to location.  My first year in China was in Wuxi which is near Suzhou.  I dang near died of the cold (and I am from Canada).  Teaching while wearing heavy boots, down coat, toque and gloves was not fun.    llllllllll llllllllll asasasasas asasasasas llllllllll llllllllll

Sorry I don't know about that specific school but the cold during winter is terrible.  Apartments are not heated by hot water either (like in the north).  There is a hot/cold air conditioner unit in one or two rooms but if you have to pay for electricity it gets very expensive.
