¡Bajan!

I couldn´t sleep, I had too many things on my mind, I´m too excited about my week, and I had too much energy in me....So I´d better do some de-brief by writing a random blog entry on taking a camion (bus) in Qro.

+ Taking a camion has been one of an interesting experience here in Queretaro. A special skill is needed: to get on the bus, make a payment, and take a seat while the bus is moving!

+ The way the drive drives the bus and the shocking jumps everytime the bus is bumping on the speedbumps, makes it impossible to maintain your balance if you´re standing on the bus.

+ Even though there are bus stops, but the camion could stop anywhere the drivers wants to stop.

+ There are 2 ways of getting of the bus: to press the button from the back door or shout ´bajan!´(let me off!). Today the bus driver didn´t stop the bus even after I pressed the button several times, I finally have to shout ´bajan!´100 m from the place I wanna get off. (I don´t like shouting ´bajan´ for 2 reasons: I find it a little bit rude to ask things without saying ´please´, but that´s how Spanish works. And my accent would cause so much attention and turning of heads from the rest of the passengers:P)

I think I´ve gotta at least try to sleep, I´ve got a full day tomorrow and the day after....Buenas noches!:)
