Jeff's Travel Stories
The best bus trip was a bus from Iguazu Falls to Curitiba, Brazil. We decided to try a local deluxe bus. To our surprise, it had sleeper seats larger than first class on a plane. Hostesses served us meals and drinks. At one point the bus stopped at a McDonalds and we were served Happy Meals!! We had a good laugh. Oh yea, great seats, service and food, but still all the standard bus movies. Third world bus trips always involved any movie with Jackie Chan and a Hollywood basic - typically the Fugitive, which I must have seen 14 times on various buses in South America and Asia.
Me at Iguazu Fall
Why is it, they don’t show movies on planes that have a plane crash scene, but they show the Fugitive over and over on buses (remember it opens with a very good bus crash scene)?
