Beijing's traffic has been really bad lately. I mean REALLY BAD. You see, my office is located about an hour away from home, so I've been commuting 2 hours a day, everyday, for the past 2 years. I don't like the commute, but I refuse to live near my office simply because it's not exactly the most foreigner-friendly place. And because the subways are always jam-packed during rush hours, I've been taking the cab to work.
But lately, traffic has simply gotten out of control. There have been a few times when I was stuck sitting in a cab for 2 hours going to the office and coming back!!! That's four hours of commuting! Once it was so terrible that I almost missed a friend's birthday dinner (it was one of those days when I wanted to cry simply because it was so frustrating).
So to keep my sanity, I'm going to take the subways again. I hate them, I hate the maze-like transfers and I hate being shepherded around like sheep, but at least I won't be wasting my time inhaling exhaust fumes, 4 hours a day.
:(
