My wife got us seats on a buscama, which I guess is the best type of bus available. Well, as buses go, it was great... But there was one guy right behind us who made it awful. Among the highlights were his refusal to stop chain-smoking, despite six signs making it clear smoking was prohibited; getting drunk after the dinner stop; throwing up out the window at our next stop; continually hitting on the young woman sitting next to him, even when it was clear she wasn't interested and wanted to sleep; beginning to talk in pseudo-Italian late when everyone was trying to sleep; and several arguments with my wife and I when we confronted him.
