1-hour stopover
Four hours passed. The bus turned to a stop. The grumpy driver said out loud "OK, OUT! OUT! 30 MINUTES ONLY!" He's got some issues, that guy.
Still enjoying a good night's sleep, the two friends awoke. Everybody had gone down, except for one: René. He asked, "umm.. are you going down?". Joanne replied, "yeah, to eat".
When the two friends got out, René was out of sight so they went straight to the vacant tables. Joanne then headed to the counter with all the home-cooked thai meals, ordered and paid. She had no idea that René was only a few feet behind, following her. As she settled back to her chair and laid the food in front of her and Sally, René took the seat next to her. He just sat there and watched the two women stuff themselves. "Aren't you eating?" Joanne asked. "Oh, later, in the morning. I don't normally eat at this hour" was his answer.
When the plates finally left no trace of food, they began another conversation, just as Sally started assisting the American lady from the song taew who was now having trouble choosing which Thai sweets to buy. This time they talked about movies. They thought of how exciting it would be if they played "Grizzly Bear Part 2" next on the bus. A few more laughs later, He learned that Joanne had seen "Goodbye, Lenin", a German film, which caught him by surprise.
The talk lasted for another 30 minutes. Apparently, they share a common interest in movies.
