Kung Fu Fighting

Have you lot ever taken the subway scheme inward a big city? Have you lot done it during rush hour? With your side past times side half dozen months worth of wearable on your back? We commonly attempt to avoid the subways during rush sixty minutes times too sometimes if nosotros create receive got our luggage, nosotros volition walk or fifty-fifty natural springtime for a cab rather than bashing people amongst our items.

However, when you lot alive inward a province amongst only about 1.5 billion people, you lot larn bumped about no affair what. The subways are ever full; people are rushing on too off too upwards too downwards the stairs. It is quite a sight. But the best was today, when nosotros HAD to ride during rush hour. We were smashed into the machine (luckily without bags!) amongst close oh, peradventure 1.4 billion other people. You can't deed or concur on to anything; you lot only promise that if the develop stops the other 1.39 billion people volition concur you lot up.

This has happened to me before. In San Francisco coming domicile on the MUNI later on a Giants game is a pretty tight squeeze. I receive got ridden a non-air conditioned packed amount (smelly) subway scheme inward Paris. In Japan, they receive got an attendant amongst a cattle prod who keeps pushing to a greater extent than too to a greater extent than (and more!) people into the train. However, I retrieve mainland People's Republic of China tops them all. Not exclusively were nosotros smashed inward therefore tightly, but if mortal inward the meat wants to exit they only squirm their mode to the edge. Even ameliorate was something else I saw today; it was basically a mosh pit of subway scheme riders. When the develop stopped, people were trying to run off the train; others were trying to run on…It was similar they were fighting. Everyone was shifting too leaning too pushing too jumping too swaying too GWWWWARRRR! I felt similar trunk slamming someone. Everyone else seemed to hold out having fun doing it.

As funny equally this is when you lot are exclusively doing it in i trial inward a while, the sheer excess of people inward mainland People's Republic of China has besides caused us a lilliputian problem. Feb third is Chinese New Year. That too the (basically) 2 calendar week catamenia earlier that are called the Spring Festival. This means: starting Wed the 19th too going until Feb 3rd, people are on vacation. Kids are out of school; people inward the cities larn domicile to view their families; EVERYONE travels somewhere. What does this hateful for us? This agency nosotros cannot larn a train, bus, boat OR machine out of Beijing. It's similar a bad movie.

Our invention was to larn from Beijing south, eventually ending upwards inward Macau, where nosotros would celebrate the New Year's Day too therefore larn to Vietnam. CHANGE IN PLANS!!! We can't larn out. Even if nosotros create exit somehow, nosotros won't hold out able to larn anywhere from there. So nosotros receive got decided to, unfortunately, leave of absence mainland People's Republic of China early. Bangkok (and close a seventy score enhance inward temperature) hither nosotros come!!! Instead of heading due south from mainland People's Republic of China to Vietnam, nosotros volition caput due north from Thailand to Vietnam. Crisis (and mutual coldness weather) averted. Phew.

Have you lot ever been stuck somewhere? Was it because of weather…or…? Did it ruin your trip? Are you lot a calm traveler or create you lot freak out inward situations similar this?
