After 3 days’ holidays, we have to go to work. Today is the first working day in 2006, although weather forecast said that the higher temperature is minus 5 degrees centigrade with 5 force wind. I cannot feel chilly at all when I went out in the morning.

The big news in Beijing is that sewage pipeline leak caused the eastern areas near Jingguang flyover to cave in. The Eastern Third Ring Road also had some cracks, a huge hole was created. Fortunately there have been not any casualties up to now. Many buses or cars have to choose other routes, which causes severe traffic congestion in Chaoyang District.

I decided to go to subway station on foot. Consequently I found I am very wise, because Dawang Road was becoming a absolutely still.

How should we do for the emergency? There were too many emergencies last year, such as contaminants spill, earthquake. We should think about these lessons in the first working day.
