[quote=LONELYJOURNEY,481245]When I lived in the dorm offered by my company, I just walked to the company and got back on foot after work. It took 6-7 minutes. Later, I moved to a new dorm which was a bit far from the company. It took me 25-30 minutes on foot.

Now I rent an apartment. I go to work and get back home by bus. If I leave home at 07:30, I can easily get on the bus and arrive at my office at 08:00. If I leave at 07:40, I will arrive at 08:10. If I leave at 07:45, I will be probably late because there are too many people at the bus stop and many cars on the road.

If I leave my office at 18:00, I might catch the bus and get back home around 18:30. If I leave around 18:10, I will be back on 18:50.

During rainy days, the buses never arrive at the bus stop on time. I remembered I waited for nearly 1 hour at the bus stop and finally got back home at 17:15.

The worst experience was in winter 2010. Our city was attacked by heavy snow. My friends invited me to have dinner with him. I waited at the bus stop for 1 hour and finally got on. Unfortunately, traffic jam was caused by the snow. Our bus stop moved about 400 meters just in 30 minutes. Many passengers got off. Five minutes later, the bus moved but stopped again after passing two bus stops.

Other passengers and I went mad. We asked the driver to open the door and let us down. The driver did as we said. Then I walked to the restaurant after passing by 3 stops. My friends already ordered food and started eating. They couldn’t wait for me any more because they already waited for 1.5 hours.

After dinner, we went to watch a movie. It was 23:04 when we got out of the cinema. There was no empty taxi on the road. A friend of mine walked about 1 kilometers in snow and finally catched a taxi. It was 00:15 when we arrived at my dorm.
