I like holidays but really don’t like crowed. But it’s a wild wish during a long holiday in China. It is unavoidable for me. I have to commute between Shanghai and my hometown or my wife’s hometown. A huge cowed gets on my nerves when I take a train or walk on a street or drive on a road. I always have to drive a long distance due to the lack of tickets. It takes one or two whole days if I departure Shanghai on the first day of a long holiday. You can many cars crashes on the road and tow truck are working. Polices are busy to assess that who should be held responsible for the crash.
If I visit a famous point, there are usually many tourist guides with megaphones, speaking loudly. I often don’t recall what they talked.
