The Grey Hound August 17, 2008

My apologies for a prolonged absence from word press. 
. I’ve been working a little to earn some money and I took a brake from school. I took a bus further down south in Carolinas to visit a friend. The main purose of the trip was the greyhound experience. I wanted to contrast it with the rickety buses back home. Most people had scared me about thugs robbing you off or stealing your stuff. Even the bus station had video’s about some guy beheaded on an Canadian greyhound bus.
My way down was pretty nice. I was seated next to a tall black lady, who made every effort possible to make me comfortable by giving me more space. I was glad I’m not too tall. Following a transfer, I ended up sitting next to a pervy Mormon from Va. He asked me stuff about India and then went on about how I was missing out on the joy of life that he had with 3 wifes and 9 kids.
The evening I arrived, me and my friend went to a pub. Where I got to flirt a little with a drunk redhead, who I’m sure barely would have remembered me the next day. The next day , I saw confederate history, monuments , slavery , stuff. Then we went to the Zoo. The third day, he showed me around areas where crime was very high and police cars patrolled in dozens.
The bus back home left at mid night. I was tired as hell, but stayed awake for a transfer. I was left waiting 6 hours at the bus station. The most boring 6 hours of my summer. So many inquisitive eyes on me,hehe. Like I was some caged tiger released into the Americas as its new habitat.
The bus ride back was kinda rocky. State run buses in India are more uncomfortable, but for a couple of dollars , you get your moneys worth. Luxary buses are very comfortable for that extra buck. Greyhound
seems to be one for the masses.
You are braver than me. I wouldn’t put my foot on one of those things unless absolutely necessary, and I have ridden plently of local transit busses.
LOL I have not been on any type of bus (except a school bus). I like new experiences though! Glad your back and safe!
Wow!!!1 6mile gettin’ his flirt on, I love it!!!!! I bet you are just adorable.
Anyway, I LOVED those videos you put up about the story of India, it’s brilliant! Best doc-u on India I’ve seen to date. When I meet R’s parents I’m going to try and buy a copy and give it to them in their gift basket. I decided I really want to meet his sister first before I meet them to get some last minute pointers
. I want to do everything right and I just have an overall good feeling about it. Deep down I know his parents are good, classy people.
Also, I went to an Indian/American wedding…it was GORGEOUS and I wote a gagra to it! I am feeling more and more comfortable and excited about the culture
. Yeah! 
lol, all i can say is i got to meet new people. It was fun , but a little lethargic all the same.
Welcome back NK, how was your tip, I’m sure you have a lot of new stories to share with us. Me adorable, You girls don’t even know how I look like , hehe.
Oh so glad to have you back.
Pics? Of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust us when we say it is what is inside that counts much more than the outer 6mile.
Yeah, seriously, 6mile—I don’t even need to see people like you and ara because I already know you are beautiful.
6mile, the trip was amazing..we are closer than ever! If you can make 5 weeks/24-7 in SE Asia, live in roach/rat infested hostels, and stink all the time together, I think you can pretty much do anything together!!! Now we want to become expert campers. We’ll probably look for some more outdoorsy adventures…
Now meeting the parents feels like a breeze! There’s so much more to life then being all hung up on and pissed off about your inlaws
.
what ???/ you never been on a bus, you need to ride one just for the fun of it
.
.
I dont mind pics, mirchi. I’m not posting them on here though, hehe. Maybe email. You might be shocked if you knew what was in the inside ara,
I’ve been reading your blogs, seems like your having a ton of fun
. Apart from the bike accident. I think there are many women who get married and are unhappy with they’re in-laws. its nice to work your way from worse to better NK
11 Things I would like in a girl, got a large number of hits
. I had another post which I made but deleted before anyone of you read it, lol. It would probably send 11 things down the drain, for the time being, hehe.
Okay now 6mile, now I am curious. Post it anyway! I want to read it lol. When you ever make it to Texas, we’ll have to go dancing then though
ok, i’ll think about posting it again. You sure wanna dance with me, Im the clumsiest dancer ever, Id probably be , worse than that indian guy
Clumsy is okay lol. I am a total klutz most times lol.
No 6 mile, Im the clumsiest dancer ever, stop trying to steal my title
Am I crazy or did your comment right before mine say something about showing pics? I thought thats why I replied that way, lol. It is possible that Im losing my mind though…
And yes, Im now curious about that post too! Come on, we need some excitement around here dear
