Long Bus Journeys

[mizeri]

buses are horrible in the US, i rather just drive, but when i was in korea i used to go to seoul korea from the base i was in, took about 3-4 hours and it was a pretty nice ride with a rest stop where you can buy some snacks.

Actually it's a naive thing to do if you're not even adapting to your surroundings. Those who make it in life are those who can improvise and adapt. I'd be a fool to act all nonchalant on a bus when you consider all the horror stories we hear about greyhound and megabus.

Do you start clutching your belongings when you walk past a homeless person on the street? What about a group of tough looking minority youths?

I guess you're not as progressive as you've led people to believe. So afraid of these poor people stealing your stuff.

You are being very naive by asking what its like to ride on a bus for 5 hours. its like a 1 hour buss ride but 5 times longer.

Most of those street urchins he will be traveling with won't be able to afford an Iphone, thats phone privilege!

How much fun is it just driving for 5 hours by yourself though? I mean it's one thing if you're with your wife or kids but by yourself...

5 isnt much at all, have music, snacks and enjoy the drive, i am about to do a 14 hour drive to go see my family for thanksgiving this november, now thats a rough drive, but i still prefer that over flying, also if you are going somewhere that takes 5 hours to get to on a bus, in your personal vehicle its more like 2-3 hours because buses stops at other places. also driving 5 hours by yourself is must better then driving 5 hours with kids in the back, or a wife/girlfriend that has to use the bathroom every hour

but by yourself...

Would you come sit next to me on the bus?

Or me?

It also sucks having to stand in line and then hope you get the seat you want. Not to mention the window/aisle conundrum. You want the window seat so you can enjoy the view but you like the freedom that the aisle seat gives you.

Never sit next to a guy wearing sandals, even if it's Jesus.

[Aeula]

Do I look like a peasant? I've never been on a bus and, now that I've got my license, I never will.

take a couple of sleeping pills, smoke a joint before you get on the bus. And just sleep.

I'm sure he doesn't do such low brow drugs, Tennisace would only do upper crust drugs like cocaine since it creates a nice contrast with his American Express Black Card.

Besides man if you fall asleep on a bus you're likely to wake up with a creepy clown sitting next to you and his hand in your pocket. Tennisace only approves of something like that if it's in those underground clubs he visits on the weekends, invitation only.

If he falls asleep, all these low class people are just going to rummaging through his bags, surely.

NYC to Toronto

I think it was over a 9 hour ride as we had to go from NYC to Maryland and back up to PA and into NY again.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

About one and a half days, from Germany to Elba (island in the med). School trip.

Mouse trap in the pocket would work wonders for this.

Keep the valuables in the luggage area under the bus, only keep things you can afford to loose (food, drinks etc) in a small hold all for on the bus.
