A typical day in Beijing As we all know, Beijing is one of those metroplises, but what we don't know is the typical day here. If you wanna experience what's the daily life here for residents or locals, then you shouldn't miss the subway during the rush hours. 'cause from the state of subway in the rush hours, you can tell how densely populated the big city is. Of course the great population in China would be obvious to you all. I couldn't find a word to discribe how packed the subway as there's no words descriptive enough to express that situation. Sometimes you feel smothered, out of breath. There's no space among people, none , zero. How do you feel if you are in the train? Absolutely uncomfortable being touched by strangers even if they don't have a choice. If you are a girl, you really need to be alert and protective, 'cause some perverts take advantage of you by groping you since it's so packed the subway is and no one would see his perverted acts. When you finally get off the train(pushed off the train), you walk out of the subway and what's waiting for you is not a blue clear sky, instead, it's the grey and severly-polluted smoggy day out there. Your throat hurts once in a while due to the air pollution. I'm amazed by the population in beijing and confused why so many people flock in this city even if at the expense of their health,life. Am I a beijinger? No, I'm not, but I've been there..................
