Junior/Middle high school entrance exam day

Well over 2000 kids came yesterday to sit the entrance exam for our school. It is the best middle school in Yichang and because of the success rate here, competition to get into our school is fierce. Only about 300 of these kids will make it in. Look at the chaos on the road outside my apartment as the hopeful parents and nervous students left just before lunch time. It was this crazy from very early (about 7.00 am). The cars were parked for many miles up the road and some parents and kids had to park and walk for around twenty minutes to get to school.
