The stench of chickens and other people's sweat put me off food for the entire day.

I'm always so very impressed how you always fully immerse yourself in the culture. But, I think the toilets would be my undoing on this one ha, ha :)Mikehttp://pastmycurfew.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575536919043062792.post-9132625643367464772013-10-11T06:04:47.863-07:002013-10-11T06:04:47.863-07:00I can totally relate to this post, The Blond.

Most of buses in South-East Asia are dirty and stinky, drivers drive like mad and you can't have a proper rest. All we always did not to think of the bad ride was eating and listening to music :).Agnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408355913431024753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575536919043062792.post-2342360425641141452013-10-11T04:21:36.270-07:002013-10-11T04:21:36.270-07:00It sounds like quite a horrendous and incredibly l...It sounds like quite a horrendous and incredibly long bus ride. I suppose it is immersing yourself in the culture though. I've tried a few bus rides abroad and they can be quite an eye opener.The Guyhttp://flightsandfrustration.comnoreply@blogger.com
