教，学，和分享

If a bus is crowded, always go to the back because you're less likely to get jostled by people entering and seats are usually available sooner!
Also, when backpacking, be sure to pack dryer sheets! they work like magic, keeping your clothes smelling fresh when you can't get to a laundry machine.
