OK-after that horrendous mood, I'm much better. To those who cheered me up --thanks. 

I do not know why I am writing about car-sickness but to those who are affected by this here's something which I found . Anyway I have simplified it :

Motion sickness (car-sickness)

The symptoms : nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, and a sense of feeling unwell).
• sometimes referred to as sea sickness or car sickness, is a very common disturbance of the inner ear that is caused by repeated motion. 
• motion sickness can develop from the movement of a car or from turbulence in an airplane. 
• The symptoms of motion sickness are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, and a sense of feeling unwell. 
• These symptoms arise from the inner ear (labyrinth) due to changes in one's sense of balance and equilibrium. 


The following tips can help you prevent or lessen the sickness: 
• Watch your consumption of foods, drinks. Avoid excessive foods or liquids that “do not agree with you” or make you feel unusually full.  
• Avoiding strong food odors may also help prevent nausea. 
• Try to choose a seat where you will experience the least motion. The middle of an airplane over the wing is the calmest area of an airplane. 
• Do not sit facing backwards from your direction of travel. 
• Sit in the front seat of a car. 
• Do not read while traveling if you are prone to motion sickness. 
• When traveling by car , it can sometimes help to keep your gaze fixed on the horizon or on a fixed point. 
• Open a vent or source of fresh air if possible. 
• There are over-the-counter medication available which can be a very effective preventive measure for short trips or for mild cases of motion sickness.

So-to those affected by this--I hope you'll never let it stop you from doing what you want to do--and -- your friends should , at least have a bottle of mineral water, box of tissues and some kind of medication to relieve the nauseating feeling ----oh, and a plastic bag would be helpful..
