Part One of a Series of Fish

I’ve already been in Beijing for more than one week, Beijing gives me the deep impression that: there are lots of people, lots of cars, and the traffic is very busy. Before, I thought China was a developing country, but there are lots of cars! After I arrived in Beijing, I found that I had thought wrong. The broad streets are full of cars close to each other, and when people are going to and from work, there are often traffic jams. At the crossroads, we often can see more than a hundred cars lined up, often reaching two to three hundred cars.

I am living outside uni, my place is only four kilometres away. On the first day of school, I took a taxi to school. I set off at seven am, but I never expected the traffic jams to be so severe, I sat inside the taxi worriedly for ten minutes. For anyone reading this, this is my text book passage, and not a necessarily a representation of what I think. The taxi drivers are playful, often telling me not to worry, don’t stress because its not worth it.
