If I am Driving then I will continue the same and If I am at passenger seat then probably ll take a NAp..

Hey maya, you question is too broad. How about this way
What do you do while traveling throug bus, plane, etc
What do you do while driving in a jam-pack traffic

For me, I prefer to read a book/newspaper, outside view if it is beautiful/landing take off the plane, napping

for 2nd choice, Keep patience and let the official handle the situation if somebody is managing the traffic, dont use horn, and never use manual-gear car

For me i will be travelling to qassim from sydney..two opposite world, but have to, i will join qassim university and will be teaching clinical pharmacy/medicine there INSHALLAh very soon.

my five things which i cant live without are:

1. My conscience ( my strong values, belief in life, to do good deeds and refrain myself from bad deeds, to help others in need and feel the sufferings of humanity and after all believe in ALmighty)

2. My family (especially my mother, father and my wife)

3. Reading ( almost everything but major emphasis on history, geopolitics, medicine, technology, good literature and sometimes gossips lol)

4. Cooking ( i love to cook, every time try different dishes)

5. Travelling ( i have seen nearly half of the world, now the other half i would love to see before i die.

ummm u been travelling for 10 years wow you must have alot of stories haha!

Thanks for the welcome! I'll be teaching the prep course for incoming freshmen. My students will be female medical students.

Yeah, freedom is great (my list)! I love my passport, my education, my marital status, my age and  my experience. All of these have given me total freedom to do as I please. I appreciate this even more after living in countries where most people do not have the personal freedom I enjoy.

And yes, I do have quite a few stories to tell. My mom has been trying to get me to write some of them down but alas, I haven't done so yet.

Put on lipstick and laugh at the other drivers' road rage (patience is a virtue along with a sense of humor).

Aaaahahahahahahahahaha! I love idiots that drive and road rage. I do not partake but love to watch it all. It's better than watching a comedy. In Abu Dhabi, I was almost run over on the sidewalk by a woman in an SUV with tinted windows wearing an abaya and shayla along with dark sunglasses, talking on her cell phone and smoking a cigarette. It was classic and if I wasn't just stunned by her stupidity I might have gotten mad. Knowing the Emirates, she had probably just gotten her license.
