DAY 12.5

11/2/11
Westbound

WINING!

Well things were relatively uneventful but crowded initially. Then the black guy on drugs with an attitude got on the bus. He was so lit that he could not get the bike on the bus (I wonder how he was able to ride it) and the driver had to help him. After the white driver helped the guy on drugs out, the drugged dude got on the bus and exclaimed “what the f**k all yall niggas on this bus can’t help a brother out but a white dude can?” There was a young black man looked like a student who immediately got up when the drug guy sat next to him. And of course the drug guy was right in front of me, literally. He was swaying back and forth until he recognized someone in the back and signaled her to come over, which she did.  He was pretty loud and obnoxious the whole time he was on and at times almost fell off the seat. He somehow managed to see his stop, get up and actually was able to get his bike off and road away. The drug epidemic is alive and well.


Here is an interesting article:
Thousands leave cars, take Dubai Metro
I have actually been to Dubai and at one point I believe I took buses to get around when the taxi’s got too expensive. The  buses were much smaller than those in the US. It was quite an interesting place. Modern cosmopolitan mixed with primitive overtones.
