what do u do when on the bus? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life6 months ago

just now, i talked with one of my friends, casue he needs to take a bus back after the work for abt 1 hour. i asked what did he usually do when on the bus?
he told me, most of the time, he did nothing, just stared blankly. i certainly knew he was joking with me.
so, i also joked maybe he could watch beauty on the way. lol
in fact, to me, i always think, or enjoy the scenes along the road outside, or listen to musics or english with my old mp3, or chat with friends beside, etc...
for the ones who need to take a bus to work every day, and even not only several minutes. how to use this time is really a big thing, i thing.
so, how abt u? how did u use this time? wink

Whilst I am on the bus I play with my daughter which is something i do all the time anyway lol. I am always playing with her and making her feel happy and i dont see why I should stop that because I am on a bus! I do get some strange looks at times and I just say to the people that are giving me the looks that my daughter deserves stimulation and if they dont like it then dont watch. I have been thrown off a bus not long ago as my daughter was laughing (she is only 13 months old) and somebody asked me to keep the noise down. I said to the woman if you cannot appreciate a childs laughter then there is something worng with you, she went and spoke to the driver and the driver stopped and shouted at me to get off the bus, I was so embarresed as the bus was full and I couldnt for the life of me see what I had done so wrong!

Hope this enlightens you!

What's wrong with that woman? She is not normal.. your child only 13 months old! and why the driver shouted to you without ask anything to you? that's bad. If I were you I'll never go with that bus anymore! well,,nice to see you and your daughter still fine now^^,,


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

that woman is really strange. doesn't she never have a baby? i feel every female loves the baby, esp their laughing.
but if on the long-distance bus, cause some need to rest, i'll stop it. otherwise, i think i'll lodge a complaint against the driver by the complaints hotline on the wall of the bus.

There is an unwritten rule in some culture that noise is untolerated in public areas. In Taiwan, one is reminded on the train's loudspeaker to lower our voice when answering the phone and to keep the children in control.

I think the woman and the driver are cracked pots hahahaha!

Hello, I usually listen to FM radio or mp3 songs while traveling on a bus. If I am going on a long route on an intercity bus, which involves an overnight journey, I usually sleep with the music on till midnight or so.While taking a bus back from work, it is good to listen to music...cheers..


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

hello,abetole
well, how do u listen to the FM radio? the bus itself turns on it? or u take a radio, or ur phone has such a function. wink
if on an long toute bus, there is always tv on. so i can watch if i'm interested in the program. orelse, i listen to my own musics. happy

I rarely travel by bus. Last time it was on my school trip. Sleeping is the best! save my energy when the bus arrive. Beside sleeping, I usually enjoy the scenery outside the window, either it's a beautiful scenery or crowded, I like to watch people and think 'where will that people go? why he looks sad? why this person loks so busy? what's his job?' etc..that's my strange hobby. Then I like to have a chat with people who sit beside me. it's nice to have conversation, maybe I have something new to learn^^,,but of course I'll consider that person's looks too. If he/she has a dangerous look I'll change my seat.
I don't really like listening music during travel because it makes me not aware about the situation in bus..


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

lol ChrysanTflower, i dont think it's strange. i think u'r a great thinker. hehe...
if ur major is psychology, i will feel it's very normal. cause that's the demand of the majorlol
just hope u can learn much from ur thinking after researching others actions. wink

I listen to my Mp4 in the bus, actually I can also watch a movie through that Mp4 so I listen to either music or watch a movie however ther are time whenI do not wish to do anything but just look around and admire the beauty of nature and to imagine myself in many places like that.


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

I rarely travel by bus, but when I do, I am prepared - I generally carry a newspaper or a magazine or a book. I also carry a n MP4 player that can display text and I have transferred some books onto it.

I love reading and hence carry something or the other as mantioned above to keep my mind busy while I tarvel on a bus.


myLot reputation of 90/100. tarachand (2294)   ranked 1,111 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

I noticed two typos - travel and mentioned have been spelled wrnogly by me above. Sorry!

hi, tarachand
u made me laughing and laughing. lollol
dont worry, i can know what u mean.
but i'm just wanting to remind u, not good to ur eyes when reading in a walking bus. wink


myLot reputation of 90/100. tarachand (2294)   ranked 1,111 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

I agree that reading in a moving bus is not a good idea and can spoil one's eyesight, but as I said that I don't often travel by bus, I mostly drive my own car. Thanks for your concern!


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

by ur own car, so u cant read when the car moving, lol

Bus trips don't take that long in my city so usually I just listen to my ipod. Sometimes I play the French language games and programmes I installed onto my ipod as its an ipod touch.

Other times I just think about what im about to do once I reach my destination. Yes im one of those people that thinks about every possible outcome before I actually go anywhere or do anything.

I also people watch and make up little stories about passengers and their lives.


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

hi,tabatha1989
hmm, i think we have some in common, wink
i also like planning what i'll do next step. including the short or long term. i also will adjust them when on the bus, cause when i'm alone and can focus on my own inner mind, happy

Well, I take advantage of as my time to take a nap. I usually fall asleep when I am on the bus.

9. myLot reputation of 89/100. sblossom (1381)   ranked 1,853 out of 38,485 in life   6 months ago

because i like walking so for short distance i usually walk. so if i take a bus it usually is a long distance trip.

for killing the time i always have my mp3 on. my mp3 not only has music, also has english study profile and radio functions. so i would no feel bored when i'm on bus.

also some times i choose to read book or magazine. it's not very comfortable. however when the traffic jam happens it's really useful to have a book around you.

sometimes local people are curious they would talk with me. so i can practice english with them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

hi, sblossom
seems u'r abroad, right? if so, u really have more chances to practise ur english. wink
well, the mp3 really has brought us some convenience. tks to the scientists and inventors, lol

If I travel with my friends or relatives, I kill the time by talking with them about anything. But when I travel alone, I put on my headset and listen to music. It relaxes me along the way. I also bring with me my ipod most of the time. I watch movies when I'm bored and that includes the time I'm on a bus...


myLot reputation of 98/100. yolanda19191 (749)   ranked 669 out of 38,485 in life  6 months ago

if in the past, i'm afraid of speaking any word on the bus, cause if so, i'll feel dizzy. lol very strange, right?
but now, i dont feel dizzy when on the bus. maybe cause i have taken much. lol maybe other reasons...
