The FIBA Asia Championship is currently ongoing in Tianjin from August 6 to 16. As Team Pilipinas is one of the contenders, my friends and I decided to show our support by watching the game live.
Normally, a train ride to Tianjin takes 25 minutes via Beijing South Station or 1 hour via Beijing Main Station. However, as the game starts at 9pm. We won’t be able to make it back to Beijing and catch the last train at 10pm.
So, we have two other options. One is to join the bus organized by the Philippines Embassy and the other is find someone with a car who would be willing to drive all the way there. When you take a road trip to Tianjin, it will normally take you 2 hours without traffic and 3-4 hours if an accident happened.
