My favorite route was Night Route: a blend of 3 different designated campus day routes that also included a foray into the old revitalized downtown section riddled with restaurants, taverns, havens for the culturally lost and found. Because I had a sense of adventure then my favorite drive time was always Thursday night. Thursday usually guaranteed a circus air: raucous behaviorisms before, during, and 1 hour after alcohol ceased being served in those emporiums that pretended to be legal for public consumption. After 10pm the ridership seldom became boring and one couldn't help but be thankful that the posted 20-mph speed limit throughout was law for good reason. <br> <br> The Germans, as well as other international students for that matter, always maintained a high degree of composure whether sober or (maybe) not when riding back to campus on the buses. Compared to our native counterparts their cosmopolitan air was quite refreshing; albeit boring. They were accommodating, civilly polite, perpetually focused getting on/off shuttles while inebriated without driver or other students help. <br> <br> God, not so our lot. Most memorable trip was 12 sorority sisters boarding from a downtown pub at 1 am Friday totally spaced out. Three minutes into the commute 2 "lookers" were nominated by their peers to perform a pole dance while riding the shuttle. The following 3 minutes to the campus parking garage witnessed much ballyhooing, laughing, gleefully screaming, dancing, flash photography from phones while these 2 glided in time in the back while the vehicle shock absorbers and lateral bus-body movement bounced along in an awkward forward motion as tire rubber exerted itself upon city pavement. Upon arrival at the parking garage the 2 dancers plus 3 cohorts of the original 12 got off and floated away to places unknown. The 7 that remained for the 4-minute ride to sorority row suddenly morphed from joyous to obnoxiously somber. A crummy time was had by all for the remainder of that run. <br> <br> I'm going to leave out comment about the short day run on campus (Green Route) where 2 college grad students (female professionals nicely put together) boarded and discussed loud enough for me to hear how advantageous their physiology empowered them through undergrad school. Upon finishing that short discourse just before destination both looked at me via my interior driver mirror and sheepishly asked if I had overheard that intimate(??) observation. Gad, now I understand why the other drivers wore earbuds and played their mp3s.</span> <span class="gensmall"></span> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="row1" width="150" align="left" valign="middle"><span class="nav"><a href="#top" class="nav">Back to top</a></span></td> <td class="row1" width="100%" height="28" valign="bottom"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" height="18"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=443784"><img src="/bbs/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_profile.gif" alt="View user's profile" title="View user's profile" border="0"></a> <a href="privmsg.php?mode=post&u=443784"><img src="/bbs/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_pm.gif" alt="Send private message" title="Send private message" border="0"></a> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#046b6a676165686576636167657644776b676f61702a6a6170"><img src="/bbs/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_email.gif" alt="Send e-mail" title="Send e-mail" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="spaceRow" colspan="2" height="1"> </td> </tr> <tr id="4561028"> <td rowspan="2" width="150" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"> <span class="name"><b>st_owly</b></span> <div class="postdetails"> <br> <img src="//cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/max100x100/avatars/206352869956868af02affd.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br><br> <nobr>Joined: 20 May 2008</nobr><br> Posts: 5234<br> Location: Edinburgh, Scotland </div> </td> <td class="row2" width="100%" height="1" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=4561028#4561028"><img src="/bbs/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0"></a><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:07 pm</span> </td> <td class="toolbuttons" valign="top" nowrap> <a href="posting.php?mode=quote&p=4561028"><img src="/bbs/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_quote.gif" alt="Reply with quote" title="Reply with quote" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" class="row2"> <div class="boxlimit"> <span class="postbody">FWIW Brits are notoriously bad for going to foreign countries and complaining that things are too foreign and no one speaks English <img src="/bbs/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Rolling Eyes" border="0"> so it's not just Americans.
