Funny Childhood Memory I don't remember how old I was to be exact, but I was I would say 10 years old or so. I was traveling by bus with my mom in a long journey to a neighboring city. Back then in the small town where we came from, there was no taxis, so taking buses were the primary means of traveling from a town to a city. To reach our destination, we had to transfer from bus to bus. Back then, the number of buses in service was very limited for a crowded population. Getting on and off the buses were difficult, and finding a seat to sit down was beyond reach. The trip was unpleasant for not only that I had to be standing on my foot throughout the time I was on the buses, but I was short then, every direction that I looked, I was face to face with some adult's butt (When you are a kid, some adult's butt is at your eye level). I bet similar experience also resonates in the memories of many people around the world. That happens when you are a kid, taking a train or bus during rush hour.
