Bus Journey Vol.1

You know how a dog smells when it gets wet? Well, it applies to people as well. It was hammering rain this morning so the bus was a little more popular than usual. When I stepped onto the bus the smell really hit me. Wet, sweaty people sandwiched into a long metal can don't create a very enticing aroma. It was one of those one single decker buses. The seats were all filled so there were people standing. The weird thing was that they were all scrunched up into the front half of the bus. So if you were willing to squeeze past a bunch of strangers you could enjoy all the space in the second half. And people in the front half just sort of stare at you like you're nuts. Gotta love that public transport.
