Travelling can be hard at most but to deal with traffic is a horrendous ordeal. I do not live in the Metro thankfully so I do not experience that congested flow traffic. But even being in a small City there is no escape. It consumes too much time and with summer coming it is going to be too hot and humid to handle. I am glad you got to visit there. There is nothing else to do but make the most out of the experience. Try to enjoy yourself
