And I thought my commute was bad...

A traffic jam in China is now in its ninth day and is over 60 miles long.

Wow. I wish I had something more constructive to say here about China's rapidly growing middle class, or the horrific air quality that's probably going on because of this, or...

Heck, all I can think about is, "Sweet Jebus, that is like my version of HELL."

Yeah, my commute is about 42 km (about 26 miles) and takes anywhere from 90 to 120 minutes (going the fast way and not through the traffic-congested roadways that run alongside the two major rivers that flow through the city). Even so, I really have nothing to complain about compared to these poor people.

That's a crazy horrible situation. I can't imagine being stuck in traffic for that long, especially every day for a month. I'd have to start walking or something.

O_O And I though my 25 - 30 minute commute was pretty bad.
