Buss-Awckwards
On the way to school, I ride the city bus. The women sit up front. I try to show respect to other people on the bus, because I’m in their culture, and most of the passengers are older than me. I have to walk from the flat to a bus stop, ride the bus, then walk from another bus stop to the college.
On the way home from school, I ride the college bus. It’s full of girls. I’m the only male save for the driver and I sit up front. The other passengers show me respect because I am a “pastor” (meaning I teach a class at the Bible College) despite the fact that they are my age. This makes me uncomfortable. The bus leaves from the college and takes me directly to my flat.
P.S. I’m really pleased with the title of this post. I think Lewis Carroll would have been proud.
