You bring the reader in with the hope of succulent burgers, instead we get an account of a tube ride and the nature of friendship and communication

Remember to use the topics tags so it is easier for readers to find your work, and check your work after you’ve written it – there are quite a few typos.

Agreed! Useful feedback 👍 My confusion is that the blog posts starts with the goal of going to a specific burger bar and then when they finally arrive, it is just dismissively dealt with 'after lunch'. I was expecting some kind of emotional reaction to the burgers - was it worth the effort? Also, for any readers who are not familiar with the region it may be worth pointing out that Suzhou and Kunshan are cities near Shanghai but all connected via the Suzhou and Shanghai metro systems.]]> In reply to 🐑.

If I’m in the same situation as you I would definitely not think of anything related to “silent company”. After reading I felt like our parents should have a read of your blog. At least my parents scold me for not talking to them when I’m just having a bad day. Sometimes I just want them to not talk to me or force me to talk to them and we can just silently sit in the car. However, I do feel like that the blog is too generic and I couldn’t get what the focus was on. It’s more like a vague timeline of where you went to at what time. Also, the style is maybe too relaxed? I guess travel blogs should also be concise and clear.
