We finally made it back from the Hangzhou Bay Bridge. Oh my god, my right leg has already cramped up. In the spirit of responsibility to the vast number of netizens, I, who am half disabled, am still here writing a blog to tell you all about our exciting, happy, conflicting, interesting, and tragic day.

The Hangzhou Bay Bridge officially opened at 23:58 on the evening of May 1st. We knew that there would be a crowd wanting to appreciate the bridge scenery. With so many people in the whole country, surely there would be N number of private cars heading out. With our foresight, we decided to meet at 6 o'clock, get on the highway at 6:20, which is six hours after the official opening, to head towards the bridge.

Let me introduce the personnel and vehicles. My car is a Citroen C2 manual, with me as the driver, and four women accompanying me: Xiao Cai, Xiao Yao, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yi. The other car is a Volkswagen Sagitar automatic, driven by Xiao Yu's husband, with the remaining four passengers being Xiao Yu and three men. All of us were driving on the expressway for the first time. Actually, when we first got on, we were a little nervous, but soon those worries disappeared. After all, we are good drivers.
