( it might have to do with mamas story about waiting at the bus stop when the lady next to her had an "incident" ... her underwear fell down. Yep, a lady standing at the bus stop, dropped her drawers. And mom said the lady just stepped out of them, picked them up, stuffed them in her purse and got on the bus.<br /><br />I avoid buses . in the US. For some reason, London bus rides don't scare me. but I do make sure the elastic is good in all my underwear.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-25584964150299118222017-03-20T17:07:17.363-07:002017-03-20T17:07:17.363-07:00I get frustrated with people that purposefully tak...I get frustrated with people that purposefully take up more than one seat as well... but like people from Minnesota, Haligonians aren't very confrontational as well... :-) xox Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-64227107443537714642017-03-20T06:20:19.105-07:002017-03-20T06:20:19.105-07:00The details and imagination, that's your gift ...The details and imagination, that's your gift to the internet.
