variance: i met a nice russian couple who also got shit on their whole trip from washington dc to toronto??
What did they do? You think their service would have gone up big time given recent incident.
anyways
on my way home, we stop in buffalo for a transfer. we wait for half an hour and get a message that we've been delayed for 90 minutes. ok, fine
i go and eat and get back in a panic because everyone is apparently loading and i was almost late. again, not a problem
get on the bus, which is from another bus company(?) and it smells like an outhouse. a group of australians sprays some sort of air freshener and it does nothing. welp, shit, right?
we're on the bus sitting there for 15 minutes and wondering what the hell is going on. welp, we don't have a driver! he's gone and fucked off home and is making and eating dinner!
so we all pile off the bus following a CLASSIC elderly jewish man who's probably beginning to go senile, being screamed at by his wife to sit down. we eventually find out that we're probably not doing anything for another hour or so.
well, whatever. shit happens, right? bus driver finally comes, and he's not in a good mood. well he can fuck right off, we had to wait around a bus that smells like a goddamn shithouse for hours!
ummm
we get to the border, no problems. then we make an unscheduled stop in st. catherines so the driver can pick his friend up(???) and another one so that the bus can be cleaned or something
well ok at least now the bus smells like pinesol instead of shit
ummm we get to toronto at like umm 2am where i'm supposed to catch a transfer to hamilton for... 10pm. oops!!!
and the bus depot closes. i am fucked!
i haven't got the slightest idea what to do. i end up bringing my bags into a chinese food place a few blocks away and ask for advice via stolen wireless from my mom.
oh wait, the battery runs out and they can't let me use an outlet!! welp!!!
so ummm i walk past the bus station again and go the other way when i run into the russian couple. they are pretty steamed. umm. i try to collect call since i only have american money. it doesn't work because of technical difficulties.
meanwhile the russian lady is taking a picture of me using the phone and she is going to try and get us in the newspaper and shit all over greyhound saying we were stranded (which was true, i guess).
they also get someone to take a picture of all three of us with our bags in the middle of that square with the tv billboards and the water squirting out of the ground.
i consider trying to find a youth hostel for the night or something like that, but i eventually find a cab that takes american money (i don't know if they all do, but i was sweating it pretty hard)
so ummm $250 later i am home safe and sound
wow that was the longest post i've ever made on the internet!!
