RE: Surviving a bus crash in India!
Exciting story. Glad no one was injured! And a long bus ride with diarrhea -- not fun!
I never had the misfortune of a bus crash during my own travels, but I rode enough buses that it never surprises me to hear of one. The drivers were crazy enough in Southeast Asia, and from what I've heard India is worse!
The drivers are absolute maniacs in India. Often drunk or stoned. I've always maintained that India is the most dangerous country I've been to. People usually think it would be Pakistan or Iraq, but wars and insurgencies don't really affect the day-to-day life of civilians very much. Road safety and terrible food hygiene are much bigger problems, and for that reason India is a pretty dangerous country for a traveller.
