Buss-Awckwards

Posted in India at 22:43

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.

    i don’t quite understand the title…but i’m not that familiar with Lewis Carroll either. Does the college bus take everyone to their homes? i got a new book i’m excited about. “this beautiful mess” by rick mckinley. going with my brother to get HP7 tomorrow. Do people read HP in India?

    Nice dude…finally got around to reading all of it. I kinda thought you (and everyone else for that matter) stopped posting so I got out of the habit of checking bloglines. Or maybe I just got out of touch. :) Anyway…good stuph. Kept me quite entertained here at work lol. Sometimes Sarah does (as I’m sure you can imagine) but we can only sit around and talk so much (as I’m also sure you can imagine). But she was in the other room taking pictures today anyway lol. But yeah…sounds really cool. I hope you’re still doing well and I’ll try to e-mail you back soon.
