A word of advice when traveling by Greyhound Bus:

1. Pretend not to notice or care that your driver has a lazy eye.

2. Put all your belongings in the seat next to you; that way when someone walks by looking at it expectantly, you can ignore them by furiously rummaging through all your crap.

3. Don't let it bother you if an elderly couple has to sit separately because there are no 2 seats together. Don't get up and move. You deserve to sit by yourself!

4. You can't really be too upset and inconvenienced if your bus has to stop and pick up stranded passengers from another greyhound bus, disabled on the side of the highway. You can blame God, but not the stranded passengers...Most likely its not their fault.

5. Ignore the movie "Blade" that is soul-suckingly blaring on all the TVs.

6. When your bus pulls into a rest stop in Wallingford, CT (a town that last I heard still has an active KKK chapter), know that NONE of the vending machines work; so no, you can't buy a bottle of water.

7. And finally, be glad that you sprung for the extra $10 so you didn't have to take the Fung Wah...and catch asian bird flu....again.
