Or even if the infamous 'RoadShow' is blasting senseless advertisements for
slimming salons or mobile phone ringtones directly in one's eyes and ears. Even when the aircon is so cold the shivering wakes one up during the trip...
Most of the time, people are peaceful. But through years of bus-travelling, one
gets to know certain kinds of people that should be avoided if possible:
