Iīm no hero, I was freakinī scared, but I didnīt lose my head and made it out of that hell after a week. The community and unity we created in that runaway bus, people of all nationalities as much scared as me, is one of the most pleasant life experiences I ever had. And Iīll never forget that. The necessity and the trouble we went through welded us together. To some of the passengers I have contact until today (one of them was American BTW who was in deep shit on the syrian border and we managed together to bribe his way out of Lebanon).
The random access to ad.com - Israel took most of the communication means out - gave me strength and hope to make it through that journey. People of ad.com were indeed of great help. You wouldnīt imagine how much a simple word of compassion, a friendly cheer-up can motivate you in such a situation.
And this is also the reason why I struggle to dismiss an internet forum like many as "only an internet forum". Thereīs more to it IMHO.
