The American Bus is outcast transport. It is unimportant that it doesn’t run on our bumpy roads, but on excellent highway, high speed roads without traffic lights, a brilliant embodiment of the American style of life (it is roads that reflects a national character); it is unimportant, that it is equipped with the conditioner and a toilet, that it brakes near at "McDonald's" and other roadside cafes, the truth, and brakes at night, in not absolutely fixed time for meal … It is important, that the middle class and up fly by planes or go cars even on short distance.
Each six hours the driver changes and so does of driving style. The driver in an American bus is a unique figure. He is the guide (look to the left - there is a pine which has grown through the rock, see they have fenced it in), and a policeman (and who else is supposed to keep order?), and a judge in any conflict, and a high professional …
If I had a million dollars
When I was ten, a friend of mine asked me what I would do if I had a million dollars. I immediately said that I would buy the best computer and the coolest telephone and then travel the world and buy ice-cream for all my friends. Now I have been asked this question again and I do not have a ready answer.
There is only one thing that I know for sure — I would give some part of the money to my parents and I would donate some other part to charity. As for the remaining money I am not so sure. Older and wiser people say that it is silly to spend it and that the best decision is to either invest it in a business with a strong reputation or keep it in a bank account and earn interest. It is a sensible decision but some part of me disagrees.
I might seem a foolish person, but even after thinking it over I would like to use this money to be happy and to make other people happy now and not in some distant future. That is why I would spend the remaining money on travelling with my family or friends and on cool gadgets and clothes for me and my family.
