The next morning I got up very early. It was dark and everyone was asleep. But I was going to Darpur.

　　I washed and dressed carefully. I put on my best clothes and carried my best stick. I put the money order carefully in my pocket and said goodbye to Martha.

　　I walked ten miles to the main road. I sat down at the main road and ate my breakfast.

　　I waited for the bus for about two hours. The bus came and I got on.

　　It is a long way to Darpur. The bus takes three hours. I arrived in Darpur and walked to the post office directly. I don't often go to Darpur. I only know the market, and one shop. This is the shop of Rick. I buy things for my farm from Rick.

　　There were a lot of people in the post office. I asked about money orders. A man showed me the queue. There was a long line of people and I waited at the back.

　　Finally it was my turn：I was at the front of the queue. But the man at the desk took no care of me.

　　“Excuse me,” I said. “It's my turn. I'm next.”

　　“You are next? Old man, I'm very busy,” the man said. “Look at my papers. Look at all these people. I am very busy. And you must wait.”

　　So I waited. Finally the man looked at me.

　　“What do you want?”

　　I gave him my money order. “This is my money order for one hundred pounds,” I replied.

　　The man held out his hand. “ID Card,” he said.

　　“Excuse me. I don't understand. What is an ID Card?” I replied.

　　“Your ID Card gives your name and your address. Your ID Card describes you. There is a photo of you in your ID Card. I can't give you any money for this money order if you don't show me your ID Card.”

　　“But I don't have an ID Card. Where can I buy one?” I asked.

　　The man did not speak to me. He gave no answer, And I didn't know what to do then.

In China, the National Holiday is a big festival and it is to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong in 1949.Besides from the Spring Festival, the National Holiday is the only other week-long public break from school and work.

As one of the only opportunities  for workers to go home, visit their families or to travel around the country, all hotels, tourist attractions, trains, buses and airplanes around the country are completely packed with holidaying Chinese people.

Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.

Look at the picture. It was too crowded on the Great Wall on October 1st, 2012. You even couldn’t take photos for you or your friends. All that we could see were people. It was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.

So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
