Bus Trans Musi

Bus Shelter, the Importance

In this modern life, transportation is considered as the significant need of the society. People do the travels a lot. Therefore, they need such transportation that can bring them to any places they want to go. If we are talking about transportation, there are many types of transportation that we can use. The basic transportation types are the private and public transportation. People can buy their own motorcycle, car, truck, even plane as their transportation or they can simply wait in the Bus Trans Musi shelter to ride the public bus transportation.

Here I want to discuss specifically about the public transportation such as bus. We all understand that if we want to use such public transportation, we need to go to the bus station. What if we are on the street and want to go somewhere by the bus? The answer is by waiting at any nearest bus shelter. Bus shelters are the infrastructures that are needed by the society. It functions as the waiting post of passengers who want to use public transportation such as Bus Trans Musi.

Another benefit of the bus shelter such as Bus Trans Musi is the comfort of the passengers who are waiting for their bus. It means that bus shelter provides the protection against bad weather such as heat and rain. Moreover, government has provided the advanced bus shelter for people by installing some entertainment devices such as television to maximize the content of the passengers.

Desperation drives people to do all sorts of things. This year, I'm desperate to get out there and do something. Learn something new. Get outdoors in Palembang more.

I have always declared that the sport that I most hate watching on TV is golf. Obviously, I don't understand the lure of the game. What is so exciting about hitting a tiny white ball with a variety of sticks, walking after it and then finally pushing it into a hole in the ground? If I wanted to sink balls, pool would be my game of choice.

Anyhow, Palembang may not have a single park but it does have a golf course. I think its around US$18.25 for the 18 holes and you don't need to be a member of the club. This is the only outdoor activity that I have identified for now. I'm sure the game is not as slow as it appears to be.

We went there on the weekend to find out about lessons. The pricing seems reasonable. I should have jotted it down but I think lessons are US$9 for an hour. You also pay US$2 for 100 balls at the driving range. And, the teacher also mentioned another US$2 for the caddy. At the driving range??? He said it was for the guy to put the little white ball down for you and to also go pick them all up after the lesson. Small matter, creates employment I suppose.

I have no idea how good or bad the teachers are or what it will mean to my long term technique if I pick up bad habits now. We're still thinking about it. In the mean time, here are some "interesting" photos from around the clubhouse.

Apart from the obvious typos, I found the listing of unacceptable attire amusing....tight and short shorts tee hee hee :)
