who's your cabbie?

found this article about cabbie's and what they drive from other countries that i want to share to everybody in the blog world. it's kinda funny in a funny way the way the article was written by the author. he or she probably travelled the world over and found out what is really like to catch a taxi in a foreign country.

"if you're going to put your life in the hands of speed-addicted foreigners, you might as well know what they're driving."

RICKSHAW
COUNTRY: India
Specs: widely outlawed for association with asshole Brits, the last fleet is in
Calcutta.
What to expect: the romance of a horsedrawn carriege and ceaseless cursing of a
driver who hates you.

TUK-TUK
COUNTRY: Thailand
Specs: beefed-up aggro-trike named after sound made by its spunky two-stroke engine.
What to expect: exposure to more pollutants and trafic fatalities than an L.A.
police chase.

SYRIAN TAXI
COUNTRY: Syria
Specs: drivers spend more time with their rigs than their hairy wives, so cabs come
with everything from fake fur to disco balls.
What to expect: the scenery of a dorm room and wild ride of midterms acid trip.

JEEPNEY
COUNTRY: Philippines
Specs: boxy roadsters with flamboyant decor and crowded seating-just like Siegfried
and Roy show.
What to expect: like riding a bitch in a packed minivan to soccer practice, minus the
Capri Sun payoff.

TAKUSHI
COUNTRY: Japan
Specs: pristine sleds-for-hire feature automatic rear doors, white-gloved lackeys,
and strict no-tipping policy.
What to expect: a fare equal to your weekly food budget at home.

MERCEDES-BENZ
COUNTRY: Germany
Specs: a national fleet of high-octane performance vehicles coupled with autobahn-
reared drivers.
What to expect: a taste of good life without being a sanctimonious prick.

DONKEY
COUNTRY: Greece
Specs: bristly, four legged beast of burden-like you at work, but with an actual
saddle.
What to expect: a bumpy ride and an aroma sweeter than most of the local women.

i'll take the donkey ride anytime of the day. is it true that the donkey smells better than a greek woman?...hmmmm...i wonder. for one thing they're more hairy
than the donkey...eheheh :P'. as for the jeepney in the Philippines it's the best
place to be rob of your valuables or grope by a sex fiend if you are a female. this
is the truth. i guess it's almost time for me to blog-off na. i'll see you all later
on again or maybe tomorrow. whichever comes first for me, staying awake or falling asleep. Godbless and adios :P'.
