journal 2: Getting around




Getting around here in American without a car is impossible because in here, states located in different places in a variously different distances. For example, if u want to go Texas from Orange County, you can take at least 2 hours by plane and take at least 16 hours by car, not including traffic. In fact, transportation systems play an important role in moving from one place to the other place. How about transportation systems in Orange County? What the differences between transportation in here and in Vietnam?First, tranportation systems in Orange County and tranportation in Vietnam similar to the mean of tranportation such as motorbike, automobile, bicycle, bus,etc...Every means of transportation is suitable for every social class. For example, the normal people who has a lower income, can use buses systems for their mobility while the middle class who has a higher income, can buy their own car for their mobility. However, the number of people who uses motorbike for their mobility is rarely. Unlike Orange County, motorbike is a mainly means of tranportation in Vietnam because of the common class is more predominant. On the other hand, traffic problem rarely occurs in Orange County because everybody always obey traffic rule. Moreover, the speed in freeway is very high. If causing an accident, the number of dead people is more higher than the number of injured people. That's why people always obey the traffic rule seriously. Due to the seriously attitude about traffic rule, traffic jam is reduced very much. This is the thing which make me surprise about the attitude of people with traffic rule. Unlike in here, traffic jam in Vietnam is so serious, especially in rush-hour because more than a half of people don't obey the traffic rule, so the number of dead people is incresing more and more. In general, the transportation system is very important in every country and the serious attitude in obeying the traffic rule is also important because "the more conscious people have, the less unlucky they meet".
