It was a hot day and I just finished buying some computer accessories in Mangga Dua. My two friend and I were very hungry but we were in a kind of hurry. So we bought a dozen doughnuts for lunch later on the bus. We had never ridden a Transjakarta bus, so we thought it would be the perfect time to try. Fortunately, all three of us got the best seats. It was in a middle of the back row, so we could see the whole bus.(and apparently, the whole bus could see us.) Quiet nice for a first experience. Despite the cool air and spacious seats, our stomach kept on demanding to be filled. I opened the box of doughnuts. You know how the smell of freshly baked doughnut spreads in a closed, air-conditioned room, right? The entire bus started staring at us. I thought they were just drooling over our doughnut. So I offered the men next to me, "Want some doughnut?'' He smiled and said no. The three of us grabbed one doughnut each. At my first bite of the delicious choc-filled doughnut, an attendant in a black uniform came up to me and said, Sorry sir but you're not allowed to eat on the bus. It's written right there on the windows. It must be your first trip. "My jaw dropped at his statement. Damn! Everyone on the bus was smiling and laughing at us. Why hadn't the attendant reminded us earlier before was started eating the doughnut? But it didn't stop there. when we were getting off the bus, the guy had the heart say, once again, "Next time, don't eat the bus, OK?" Double damn!!!!!
