As I was making notes about the ride a distinct pattern emerged, then a plan...for a single theme blog entry called "Oh Shit!!!"
For about 10,000 kip, or $1.25 additional fare, I was able to request and receive the front passenger bucket seat in the van that held about 12 people. Safer - with the air bags, seatbelt/shoulder harness, and lots of legroom. And the front seat gave me a great view of the road in front of us. For those that were sitting in the back of the van and for those of you that were not there.......
Oh Shit.
Oh Shit, we are going to hit him.
Oh Shit, he is going to hit us.
Oh Shit, we are not going to make it.
Oh Shit, there is not enough road left to do that.
Oh Shit, we are going too fast.
Oh Shit, we are not going fast enough.
Oh Shit, they are breaking instead of accelerating and we are going to hit them.
Oh Shit, we are not going to to try to pass that truck now.
Oh Shit, he is pulling right in front of us.
Oh Shit, that is going to be someone's dead duck in about 3 seconds.
Oh Shit, we are four fucking feet from that bus's bumper.
Oh Shit, that is a two year old playing on the side of the road. And we are going 60 MPH.
Oh Shit, does the driver really believe that rooster knows what horn honking means? It is a fucking bird, you idiot!!
Oh Shit, someone is going to have water buffalo for dinner tonight.
Oh Shit, we made it safely.
Cheers.
Hope I raised a smile.
lol!!!!!!
