traffic jam

front row view on the bus :)

this is a huge traffic jam on the road from hohhot to beijing (yes, my posts are out of order). there were at least 1000 of these trucks on the road filled with coal and they were moving sooo slowly. ugh, seeing that made me feel so sick. i heard the bus driver say that this traffic problem was getting worse and worse. i wonder how often this road looks like this- how can there be that much coal??!? we came to a complete standstill for about 45 minutes and everyone got out to go to the bathroom on the side of the road (i did not participate in this). i was so worried that we were going to be stuck there for for hours...i heard about a traffic accident in china about 2 summers ago that lasted for a few days....well thankfully we eventually took off and were able to pass all of them on the shoulder.



video once we finally got moving
