I planned to go on a solo road trip and was actually looking forward to it.
It had been a while since I traveled. I had been reading for my medical exams for months and hardly had time to eat, let alone enjoy my favorite hobby. Once I was done with the last paper, I knew the only reward was for me to go on a long road trip. I went to book a bus ticket and was ready for my 13 hour long bus ride. I picked a destination I had never been to before and was eager to find out what it held in store for me. One hour after the bus left the station, everything was perfect as I listened to music through my earphones. However, things began heating up and I wondered what was going on. Before getting on this bus I had checked that they had air conditioning. This was crucial for me since I was traveling in summer and the heat can be unbearable. Little did I know that I was in for a shock. While the bus had an AC installed, it was not functional. I had to remove my jacket, and even get my portable hand fan just to make myself feel cool and comfortable. I went over the three bottles of water I had packed in two hours. It turns out that I was not the only one struggling with the heat. Other passengers started complaining about the excess heat which is why our driver stopped at the next stage. He had the AC checked and it was not possible to fix it. We were asked to move into another bus with a working air conditioner. The bus company apologized for the discomfort caused and offered all passengers free snacks and water supplies.
