Starting to lose our minds on the busses we ask the attendant to put the subtitles of the movie on in English. She politely agrees. It took us a good half an hour to figure out why we couldn’t understand the movie… every other sentence had words in Russian. As we laughed at our ridiculousness the guy across the isle rolls his seat back completely pinning in the rider behind him. We looked at each other in silence with complete fear that this was just about to happen to us.
Tiffyn decides it would be hilarious to tell the guy in front of me to roll his seat back and pin me in but not to let his wife roll back hers under any circumstances.
“oh yeah? Go ahead. How you gonna talk to him without your translator?”
Then, Tiffyn demonstrates to me an intended sign language of,
“pay you 5 soles if you, seat, back, no tell wife”
which to me looked more like “5 soles, to go to back of bus with me, don’t tell wife”
Let me tell you. With our 30 hours on buses craziness, we laughed ourselves to sleep as our fellow riders pinned us both in.
