What can one do on the bus?

We spend daily 22-23 hours on the Ikarus, the question is what can one do for so long on a bus. The TV and the Xbox looks pretty, but we can't use it while we are on the wa, because there's the danger that the aggregator explodes. We don't have any other music source, only our on small private ones, so no big parties on the way. We can use the computers, but the road is so shaky, that our eyes get tired very soon. Typing is even worse. We can stare at the surroundngs, but after a while we get bored even of the most extraordinary sights. We can eat, but we have to be careful not to slice our own fingers, and all the food not to end up in our neck in a sharper turn. We can smoke at the bendy part if the roof window is open. We can get drunk, akthough it's not the nicest feeling to sober up on a shaky Ikarus. We could have a shower if the water wouldn't be that brown, there's no toilet on the bus, so we can hold it back. We can sleep, but it's really cold and shaky at the back, but one can get used to it. It smells diesel, my head ached of it for 2 days, but one can get used to this as well. If we drove a little faster we'd have time to look around a bit at places.Up until now there hasn't been too many sights though. Locals sitting in cafés, funny dudes, funny buildings, donkeys, horses, camels. The terrain: heath, desert, hills, mountains, big mountains, fucking big mountains. Oh, and motorways in Europe, but I've already written about these.
