   I miss the mighty Fung Wah.

   $15 overnight from NYC to Boston... people used it as a hacker hotel.

   Driver driving stiff armed one handed and holding cellphone to ear jabbering in Cantonese the whole way.

   Sometimes we got a restaurant break on the way, sometimes not.

   Getting on the bus in Chinatown in NYC.

   When will the bus leave?

   You sit. You quiet. Bus leave when full.

   Too funny. And they hardly blew up or caught fire, except when they did. :)

     @hhardy01 And they were competing to the last bullet with another low-cost chinese company using the next gate in the South Station bus terminal 😂

     @hhardy01 One day a friend was late to catch the bus to NYC, and the Fung Wah lady at the gate held the bus for him while he was running across the hall.

     "Please come fast!"

     But when she checked the ticket, her smile suddenly turned into a scornful look: "THIS IS OTHER COMPANY!" 😂
