Previous | Next :: Taxi Driver : District One : Saigon | April 13, 2014, 3:32 pm

Here is tonight's taxi driver ....... in this shot he looks as if he is straight out of central casting .......... but he was a a very helpful knowledgeable driver ........ perhaps a little suspicious of my photography but hey I can live with that :-))))))))

Another friend of Marc's here in Saigon jumped in a 4 wheel cab like this the other night having been on the back of a motorbike taxi that had either maliciously or mistakenly taken him in completely the wrong direction ....... after he realized what was happening....... and suspicious he was about to be robbed (the passenger) Marc's friend, got off and refused to pay.... anything ........ much to the outrage of the Xe-Om guy (the scooter taxi man) he started threatening and attacking Marc's friend ........... luckily the friend ran to a cab the and the cab driver was very calm and drove away ....... the zilo guy continued to threaten and chase ......... much to the alarm of the friend....... finally the taxi driver lost the chasing angry scooter man. So the friend returned home unscathed ......... well he was unscathed ........ but the stress of the whole incident caused him to just completely pass out once he got home ......... he fell forward and broke his nose........ how tragic is that........ defeat from the jaws of victory.

Anyway I gather luckily he is now fine ......... and the broken nose is healing......... This city ....... its a weird mixture of chilled and way way stressy ........... :-((((( :-////// :-))))))))) XXXXXXXXXXXX
