Best Bus Trip: It’s a tie between Taiwan (Taipei > Kaohsiung) and Argentina (Buenos Aires > Mendoza).
Worst Bus Trip: Udaipur > Jodhpur, only because someone in the sleeper berth above our seats threw up out the window and the sick came back inside the bus through my window. My hair, my shirt and one side of my face was covered in someone else’s curried sick. And we still had 5 hours of bumpy road ahead.
