Today, I would like to talk about an unforgettable trip. In June 1st this year, I planned to go hiking with some of my friends. Before that day, we made detailed plans about the trip and decided to take subways and buses to get there. Since the bus only available on 8 or 10 am in the morning. We also use the Google map to estimate the amount of time we need to speed on the way to the buses stop carefully. It shown we need to spend 1.5 hours to get to the bus station.

So in June 1, we got together at 6 o’clock at the subway. But unfortunately, it took us more than 1.5 hour to get to the bus station. Actually, it took us around 3 hours. Obviously we were late for the bus. So, what should we do next? Wait another 2 hours to take the next bus? 2 hours seems too long for us so we chose to take another bus, which can take us to a transportation junction.

We expected to change to another bus at there or at least we can take a taxi at there. However, when we got there, it turns out that there’s no legally taxi, but instead, there are many illegal taxi driver persuade us to take their car. It seems unsafe to take their cars, so we try to find other buses to get to the destination. It was really hot that day, and we walked around for almost an hour but didn’t find any other buses station. We felt so desperate about the transportation system in that city and finally decided to wait for the original bus we planned to take. It was eleven o’clock at that time.

After an hour, the bus came. As I sit on the bus, I though it must be the end and expected to get to the destination after an hour at around one p.m. At that time, I still felt like it is ok, we still can go hiking in the afternoon and have BBQ in the evening. But, since it is June 1st, the children day, we soon got into a heavy traffic jam. At last, we finally got to the destination after 5 hours. To make it much worse, it started to rain and as a result we cannot go any place to have fun. And even cannot have a BBQ. So at last, we place cards with friends in the hotel for the whole night, and put afterward all the plans for that day.

After that terrible experience, I was so desperate about the transportation system at there and swear won’t go there again.
