Supposed to pick Jeff up @ AMK this morning to attend the morning con-call with client. I got on the cab by 8.01 am. But ALAS! Look at the time we reach the office, and the receipt. A freakin' $40.60!!!!

With meters ticking at this rate.. I think I will cycle to work instead. Also will take me about an hour, what's the diff anyway?

What's amazing is that the editors at tomorrow actually allowed this to be published. There's nothing really interesting about this.

或许，是时候让三轮车再次成为其中的一个主要公共交通工具了。再次回到那个搭三轮车去买菜，甚至上班的年代......

Their purpose is to make taxi out of reach for peasants. Now taxis are meant for high income earners and tourists.

I think it's great stuff. And forget about buying a car. That is just plain stupidity. There are wonderful trains here and you've all got two fine legs to either walk or cycle with. If I can do it, so can you.

Has anyone considered about the taxi driver's miserable income for the past few years?
