My biggest reason for not wanting to go anywhere during the summer (or New Year's) holiday is the terrible traffic on the highways and the big crowds everywhere.
Well, this story from China tops even the worst summer "U-turn rush"
"Triggered by road construction, the traffic began 10 days ago and is 100km long at one point. Reaching almost to the outskirts of Beijing.
On Sunday, the eighth day of the near-standstill, trucks moved just a kilometer on the worst section.
Television reported on Tuesday that some vehicles had been stuck for five days.
The main complaint heard from drivers was about villagers on bicycles selling overpriced boxed lunches, bottled water to drink and heated water for noodles.
A bottle of water was selling for 10 yuan ($1.50), 10 times the normal price"
That absolutely sucks. I would definitely go crazy...
