               It happened last winter. So far, I can still remember how much bad luck I had. I went to Chongqing, a province of China for vacation for two reasons: to take my TOEFL test, and to see my friends。Who were studying in Chongqing. I wanted to experience college life at my friend’s school. So I went to Chongqing this time. I felt so anxious and look forward to this vacation. So I flew to Chongqing in my holiday.

When the plane landed, it started raining. But I realized that my frustration had only just begun. I was so excited to meet my friends because it’s really long time that I haven’t seen them. Just because of the delayed plane, we missed the last bus, and it was hard to find a taxi.

Finally, we found a taxi but it was very expensive, since the school is far from the airport. The next day we decided to go to Chongqing’s tourist attraction. It was really a happy time with my friends. We were laughing and holding arms on the street. We were eating and sitting together and have a long chatting. It was really an enjoyable noon. But there were so many people there, that we even could not move in the crowd. So, we all grew very tired at last. It was difficult for us to squeeze on the bus, but the road in Chongqing is almost tortuous path. Unfortunately, there was a traffic jam on the flyover, so we waited a long time. Suddenly, we saw a lot of people who were in the front of our bus get off. That bus had broken down. So we waited a long time in vain. I was so tired when we back, but I still think about my TOEFL test, and anxious about it.

Because we were tired, it was hard to stand. I felt uncomfortable and the same with my friends. The second day was finally the TOFEL time. Due to the long distance and unfamiliar environment, I woke up at 7am. My friend drew the examinations room route for me so I wouldn’t get lost, and I arrived at the University of Chongqing early. But there are three campuses of the University of the Chongqing, and I went to the wrong campus! So, I immediately got on a bus to go to the right campus. I only say that Chongqing has a high population, and I felt so worried for I couldn’t get the bus. I was so worried that I would be late. Things are very stressful. I couldn’t take a taxi either because there was less available taxi on the street. There was no suspense of I didn’t catch the exam. In fact, I think I was not late because the start time of the test was 10am, and the time I arrived was 9:57am. In some area this time is still acceptable to get in.

After this awful experience, I decided to escape from this terrible place. But when we were on the way to the train station, the bus had broken down this time. It was so shocking. When we finally arrived at the train station, they told me they had sold out all the tickets to my destination just now. And the next motor car to my destination was at 9pm. It means I would have waited more than six hours, because the time was already about 3pm. I felt so frustrated and upset.

I had no choice to wait, and begin to think of my vacation. Every thing was bad, but the only thing which made me happy was the time with my friends. I love them.
