And explain how you felt when you were in that traffic jamI’ve been caught in traffic jams countless times.Really.So many times I can’t begin to count them!You see,I live in Beijing,and we have some of the worst traffic jams in the world–with the possible exception of India.It’s insane.Sometimes you can spend hours trying to get to a place which should ideally take about 20 minutes,just because of the sheer volume of traffic on the roads.However,the time which infuriated me the most was when I had set off two hours early to go for a really important job interview in Haidian–that’s a district a little far from where I live,but,again,on a good day it should only be 30 minutes in a cab,at most.So,I hailed a taxi.The traffic looked bearable–and we set off.As soon as we hit the third ring road there was an incredible traffic jam–it was not even moving.Thick thick traffic as far as the eye could see,and not even moving an inch.The driver told me that he had heard on the radio,or seen on his app,that there had been a car accident up ahead which had caused the traffic to come to a standstill.I sat there,quite patiently at first,but then I started to lose patience.An hour went by,and we had progressed about 200 meters up the road,and were literally crawling along.Then a thunderstorm hit,and this slowed the traffic down even more.In the end I arrived at the interview over 40 minutes too late,I was soaking wet getting from the taxi to the building,because the driver simply couldn’t find a place to park,and I was really in bad spirits.The funny thing is–they actually ended up giving me the job!!!I couldn’t believe it!So,all in all that was a really memorable traffic jam!
