It is really a long day today.It has been 6 hours since I took the bus in shanghai and now I am still 100 kilometres away from home which is really draining and makes me exausted. Generally it takes around 3 hours and a half to go home by bus.The national holiday which is one of the only two holidays comprising seven days in China is perceived as an scarce opportunity to gather to meet up family and friends,or to travel.That is among the most significant facts resulting in the bumper to bumper traffic during the holiday ,especially the first few days and the last few days.Chinese people are in short of holidays and the government’s failure to value people’s rights of day off is the driving force of the phenomenon.

What a long day it was today. It has been 6 hours since I got on the bus in shanghai and now I am still 100 kilometres away from home which is really draining and exausting. Generally it takes around 3 and a half hours to get home by bus. The national holiday, which is one of the only two holidays comprised of seven days, in China, is perceived as a scarce opportunity to gather with family and friends, or to travel. That is among the most significant things that results in the bumper to bumper traffic during the holiday, especially during the first and last few days. Chinese people are short of holidays and the government’s failure to value people’s right to take days off is the driving force behind the phenomenon.
