Cool Chicks I meet on Buses.

How much fun can you have on a 16 hour bus ride? I guess it depends on who you sit next to! And yes sorry to those who are sick of my ‘meeting cool chicks on busses’ stories but the following will be yet another one! I am definitely making up for all those bus and train rides in my younger day when I hoped beyond hope that I would sit beside a cute girl. It never ever happened. It was usually somebody’s mother or a kid who couldn’t afford a car.
After my night of Gin and Jack Daniels, my last night in Krabi, I jumped on a mini bus…the woman I had briefly spoken to while we waited for the bus to arrive jumped into the seat beside me. I might have been flattered if it hadn’t been the only seat left! My first impression of her was that she might have been a Thai. It turned out she was Swedish of East Indian decent.
It’s weird that I can have such a great conversation on a bus with a complete stranger knowing full well that in a short while I may never see them again. As it turned out we chatted non stop for a good three or four hours. Then a surprise bus change cut our new found friendship short. We smiled and parted company…a brief experience but one which gave me the satisfaction of connecting to a like minded human being. Brief but intense, and definitely an experience I enjoy that doesn’t tend to happen in day to day life…seems peculiar to traveling on buses in very foreign countries.
