Surprisingly, the Chinatown bus wasn\’t that bad. The Chinese employees were rude as expected, but not to the detriment of the service. Everyone on the bus seemed grumpy and unhappy (except for the elderly Chinese passengers who seemed jubiant as they conversed with each other). What a deal really. I had intended to wake up early, but accidentally woke up around 11 am and got to South Station right before 1 pm. I walked directly to the Fung Wah ticket booth and got a ticket. Ushered quickly, I found a seat in the back where I sat for about 4.5 hours to NYC from Boston.

But then I decided to be cheap and take a subway to the hotel. Mistake, since I took the wrong lines and walked in the wrong directions a couple of times. It took nearly two hours to get from Chinatown to the UN area. Next time, I\’ll cab it.
