Comparing Bus Rides
December 8, 2008 · Print This Article
Here is a story of a bus ride in Cambodia. My dad said it was going to be a nice bus ride, but by the look of the bus on the outside it made me think it was going to be a nice ride, but when I saw the inside it was not as nice as I thought. And a few minutes later, the bus started moving. It was not as bad as I thought. When we got far into the bus ride, something like Ecuador happened — HONK HONK!! The bus driver honked the horn the whole ride at motorcycles and bicycles. The road was actually kind of bumpy and to make it extra crazy, the driver was crazy. It was pretty much a double decker, but there were no seats on the bottom, so is that a double decker or a single decker? When I needed to go to the bathroom, I went down to the lower deck where the bathroom is, but surprisingly the door is really short. Even I had to duck. When I got into the bathroom, it was really dirty: teeny sink that was dirty, potty that was dirty, and the flusher was really not nice. At least it was better than peeing in a coke bottle in Ecuador.
p.s. There are way more motorcycles in Cambodia than there are in the United States.




Based on the Hong Kong photos it looks like Eliot has GROWN lots! (Especially his legs)! Keep up the good work Eliot! Jack & Ainsley nice work on the blogs!
Gee, I have to confess Jack, I’m a little bummed that you didn’t take the camera back to the bus toilet with you. Those are the shots I live for!
The junk-filled sink and the shattered glass are pretty impressive, though. And I see that you snagged the front seat, as well! Nice move. You get to see all that crazy Cambodian action out the big window!
So, are you feeling like you never want to see or hear a motorcycle again? Good. Your mom will be very happy.
Keep up the great writing!
