suzhou

 

• the train station is milling with people
• streets of old suzhou are picturesque clean and milling with people
• the garden is awesome grand and milling with people
• lots of smokers walking with their ciggies outdoors and indoors 
• limited concept of personal space in elevators and elsewhere
• getting caught in the crossfire of someone else's conversation
• and getting unceremoniously pushed out of someone's way
• oh, and touts at every corner

in a word, crowded.
