'Coz the driver just kept on playing some annoying Chinese pop songs which are hard to be named as music. And what's worse, he kept the volumn as hign as even be able to let the dumb here the songs. It happends quite often when I take the long-distance bus? Have the similiar experience?

In my hometown Chongqing you can find this kind stupide thing even on the city bus,sometimes the sound of monitor was very loud,lots of Ad been played,nobody likes it,but you have to beat it as the passenger. Welcome to Chongqing! Cheers!

I am a fellow-suffered, traveling frequently on inter-city Chinese buses. Almost as worse as the music are the kung fu videos and people making calls on their cellphones. My answer is noise-cancelling earphones. There are many kinds on the market, just do an internet search. I use Creative HN-505 which I bought at Mongkok Computer Center in Hong Kong for HK$198.00 and they are good enough for me. Good luck.

A few years ago I travelled the entire length of the north coast of Spain by train- very nice, quiet, clean train, very scenic trip, just one problem - continuous piped music for the whole time! It's a form of torture!

Usually, I am sad and ashamed I cannot understand Chinese, but when the music is blaring out, I cannot be distracted by the words! (As the old saying says: 'every cloud has a silver lining').
