Thanks Lawrence for some excellent tips. A few of my
own practical tips to add to yours
1. Smile, greet your fellow passengers, as they will
more than likely be with you for the duration of
the trip. Getting to know them, helps, especially
if you are travelling alone, and have to leave
your baggage behind to go to the toilet. Having
a pack of cards to while away the time is also
good.
2. Carry a small bar of soap to wash your hands, as
they may not be any in the toilets.
3. If you use toilet paper, carry a roll of your own.
4. The food can be monotonous, especially on long
journeys. Either carry your own, or bring along
some kharrecho, miskut or parra to add spice
to the fare.
5. Do not accept food items, such as biscuits or
mithai from your nice fellow passengers.
This is just a precaution, as there have been
news stories about these items being spiked with
drugs and passengers then relieved of their
belongings.
Happy travels !
