The bus ride from Tongli to Shanghai is not a long one, but it was interesting.
If you’re afraid
of flying, you’ve probably heard that
saying, “Look at the flight attendants, if they look scared, then it’s time to
panic.” So when you hit some turbulence, if the flight attendants are still serving drinks, it's no big deal...
Which really is
decent advice. When in an unfamiliar situation, look to someone who is familiar
with what is happening, and imitate them.
So when you’re on
a bus in China, and everyone around you starts fastening seatbelts that you
didn’t know existed, you begin to feel a bit uneasy.
Buses have been my
primary form of transportation up until this point and I’ve never seen ANYONE
with a seatbelt. Until now.
The moment of
panic turned out to be unnecessary.
It was actually one of the smoother bus
rides I’ve had in China. Granted, the driver would probably give Dale Earnhardt
Jr. a run for his money (even in the bus), but he was in total control of the
vehicle. Or so I keep telling myself.
