Spring festival traffic
It was said that every year chinese spring festival traffic is the biggest migration on the earth, 0.3 million people will have a trip in that time. Unfortunately, I am one of this 0.3 million. From Feb 9-Feb 15, a week of time, I will travel from Beijing to Shandong, My boyfriend’s hometown, and From Shandong to Henan, my hometown, then back to Beijing. travel a triangle, 150 Kilometers in all, 7 day, 3 days on the way. Definitely it won’t be a comfortably journey.
To buy a train ticket is not a easy thing either, Every year the issue of buying tickets are big topic of all the news media. Few years ago people should get up very early to waiting for hours in the cold for a ticket. Now, it’s get better, we can book a ticket on the net, but the net set is terrible, it can be easily hacked, people who installation special browser can easily jump the queue, I don’t know the situation can be so intense, so I don't install the special browser. So, I don't get the ticket I want, a berth ticket a night, but a hard seat ticket at day time, I will spend 10 hour on the train, a whole day.
I can’t hold to complain, the train to the big city not far from my home town just need less than 3 hour, and this city is further than my hometown, but small city have no fast train, if I go by way of the big city, it will take 3 hours in train and 2 hour on bus, less than 10 hours by the slow train, but, it sounds so laborious, I’d rather spend a whole day on the train by do nothing, I can download some movie to watch, or playing cards with my friend or stranger, or talk to stranger, every time I take a hard seat I meet interesting people, and we talk and talk, at the end of the train, we almost like friends, and some time we leave our phone number to each other, but we never call, I norther be called nor called other, but we really enjoy the time we spend on the train.
Even though the journey can not be comfortable, I am happy I am going home soon, I miss my hometown, I miss the fair my family business is in, I miss the moment my Mom and I together, talk about the family trifle on the sunshine while we sealing things, and the neighbor hold children play around, all with a funny and lovely red cheek(because the cold wether and no heating system).
I will take some picture, and upload when I come back, and there are a cow in my boyfriend’s village, I hope she is still here. I will take a picture too.
