The busses are packed. They don’t stop. They just slow down. You have to jump on. There were four of us. As the bus slowed we made a grab. I found myself hanging out the bus clinging to a handle as it careered through the streets taking us back to the centre of Colombo. There were four others hanging on outside me. A twenty-minute ride. It took a number of ‘stops’ before I managed to worm my way inside the bus. Better than any roller-coaster ride!! Only cost a few pence!
