Sleeper Bus
I know. I know! Night Bus is a Dirty word for me but I have reason to have a change of heart...Well to a point anyway. Here in China they have sleeper buses...Where you are actually cacooned up in little beds, two high. Naturally I get the bloody bed on the top, with the TV right in front of my bloody nose. So I actually can't put my knees up and getting up into the bunk is a bit like being a member of a Chinese contortionist show. But hey it beats the shit of sleeping in the upright position and I could lay flat with my feet in their cubby hole, without them swelling to the size of footballs. Quite a good idea and probably should be adopted by a few more countries I think. The only problem is, is that the births aren't so wide and if you were of ample size, you'd have buggary chance of being comfortable. Also, if the bus rounds a rather curvy corner you'd fall off, if you hadn't discovered the wear-abouts of the seatbelt. Something I almost learnt myself. All in all the ride was pretty good and I managed to get a good night sleep...and I could still feel my legs in the morning. Always a plus!
