Memories of those mountain bus rides in the west of Yunnan & Sichuan, written in my head as I did the last day of the Songpan Horse Trek, sing to the tune of "Country Roads":

I wake up on the bus and the Tibetans are all smoking,
There is vomit running down the aisle,
The driver is over taking on another blind corner,
Whilst shouting at other motorists

The karaoke VCD is playing on full blast,
The drivers drowns it out by beeping his horn,
He's only used it 1000 times in the last hour
I choke on the dust blowing through the open door......

Ridin' on Chinese buses
To the place I belong
Public showers
Filthy toilets
