Bus Things~

Being on the bus, packed tight with commuters going home, I did another 'deep thinking'. It was the perfect place to ponder about random things, especially with it being a long way home and you have nothing to do but just sit there and bounce with the road.

Most of the buses here were actually from Japan; second-hand and worn down, sold cheaply to bus companies who are more than willing to transform it into a speeding steel mammoth and make tons of profit.

You can still read some of the kanji writings on the doors and windows, and most of the time I try and read the small instructions written on a light bulb (which was actually a button to signal a driver). I don't understand most of it, but I managed to pick up a word or two. I even tried pushing it but nothing happened... or maybe something did and only the driver knew about it (and ignored it).

I've seen on music videos and TV shows just how different the buses on Japan are from my country. They're so clean, so new, so safe, and makes me feel envious that they manage to have those kinds of transportation means to use everyday. I figured all of them have air-conditioners, while I bask in the full glory of smoke, smog, and an occasional rain with my open window.

Makes me feel depressed and super excited... to think that I'd be able to live the comfort of a deluxe state of life in Japan quite soon enough. I can already imagine myself enjoying a convenient bus ride to work or back home everyday, with a soft headrest, a window you can see stuff through, enough room to stretch your legs, and most of all, clean air.

Riding a bus in Japan will definitely make me live longer~
