I LOVE THE BUS (October)

OH HOW I LOVE THE BUS!!!!!  Why don't we use these to our advantage back home in the US of A?  I will be sending some transportation suggestions around when I return, mark my word.

There is really nothing better (or relaxing!) than getting on the bus and heading into town.  I usually go in with Haley and Rachel for groceries and shopping, etc., but I have been with the flat, Abby, and various other mixes of people too.  It's so nice to just sit there and take in the city, it's people, and the cute homes along the route.  I think I could be happy living out my life here…

It takes about 40 or so minutes to get from UEA into town, so there is a good chunk of time to people-watch (YES!) and eavesdrop on various conversations. And, I guess, talk with the people you are with….but it's so much better when you are all listening in on the same conversation and burst out laughing at the same time…these are the moments that I will miss!

But anyways, back to the bus: it is perfect, and so easy and fun to use.  Dickinson gave us an unlimited bus pass which is SO handy (thanks tuition!) and I use it all of the time.  I do kind of wish that the ride were a bit shorter, only because it is a bit of an ordeal to get into town and back (it's typically a 2+ hour excursion between the ride, the shopping, and the return), but all the same, it's a great convenience and fun to try something new.  I am DEFINITELY still not used to driving on the opposite side of the road though!!
