I am being asked to consider a posision in Suzhou (local pay). Since I
have no idea about the city, etc., I am in desperate need of
information. Kindly share what you know and THANKS!!!
Suzhou, as a city, what do you think about the life there? Is it a
nice place to live? is there big software/telecommunication companies
nearby? (my husband needs to find a job too and telecom is his
expertise)
How is the housing market? We will need at least 4+ bedroom (having 3
kids) in a decent location. How expensive - both buy and rent - is it?
Most importantly, how are the schools there? Since we all have US
citizenship, I am not sure if my kids can go to public schools there,
which is what we prefer.
Sorry too many questions... If you know some contact information of
(good) local elementary schools or web sites where I can find more
information, I'd highly appreciate it! Look forward to your reply!
Thanks!
我去年出差去了一次，让我说句作为旅游者的实话吧，实在太失望了，那么大名鼎鼎的苏州！
全城就那么一条商业街，跟本没啥像样的商店(城里有几家高档店，不过那不是你常会去的地方），一条街上几个KFC和大M...除非你老去得月楼...
河边，那个味道...
可能生活在那里的人能体会不同的生活...（国内我只在北京生活过，我还是建议海归上海或北京，上海我也很喜欢，但是受不了冬天没暖气）

苏州环境优良，民风朴实，因为临近上海， 改革开放并没有第一线进行发展，一直以来都保持着其古色古香的特色。 随着上海的饱和，苏州在近十年内列为高度发展的城市，特区和新区的开发吸引了大规模的外资，以由中等城市跃入大城市，人口由30万跳跃之100万，外地人口远远超过了本地人口，如果现在还称苏州是二线城市的话， 那是一个绝对错误的认识。
对于LZ的问题， 我可以打个比方， 苏州就好比是san jose，上海就如同三藩市， 要我选择住哪， 我肯定选择san jose地区而不是三藩市地区，没三藩市那么拥挤，却可以完全享受到三藩市这么一个国际大都市的优越性。在国外住惯的话， 建议绝对不要选择上海或北京，那拥挤的人群是无法适应的。苏州离上海就45分钟车距，所以，想玩的话，绝对不会憋着闷着～
然后住房还是租房，有条件的话，那一定是买房， 苏州的房价那叫一个海涨，10年苏州太湖边的别墅，最贵的100万RMB一套， 如今是1500万起跳，看看这幅度～ 更何况苏州还在不停的疯狂发展，弹性比上海大的多。
学校不用担心， 因为苏州非常多外企，所以国际学校等一系列设施配备非常齐全，拿着美国护照的孩子， 上学是肯定没问题。 至于详细的价格，包括房价啥的，得找代理。

谢谢!好象工业园区还不错,跟老城不一样
re, huge differences
不过这几年污染挺严重。anyway，上海还严重呢~倒是以前一直空气很脏的北京，因为奥运会，反而改善不少~
我是苏州人，以我的了解，苏州是很好的选择，楼上有的讲的拥挤，环境差肯定是市区，但是新区和园区不错（特别是园区）
1. suzhou is a nice place to live in, 不像上海那么拥挤，人没那么多，生活节奏比上海慢，很舒适，特别是工业园区，环境还不错
2. 苏州出行很方便，去上海坐动车或者开车都很方便，而且房价便宜很多，我家在市区，120平米, 100万左右，地理位置还不错，小区还ok
3. 上学 is not a provlem at all. i know there are foreign lanague schools in suzhou.
4. 如果我有2个差不多的offer, one in shanghai and one in suzhou, i will choose suzhou. （不知道电脑怎么搞的，一会打不出中文）
到底了
