On my taxi ride home from work last night my Romanian driver sang me lullabies – in Romanian! No I am not kidding. (you can hear them too...)
New York City taxi drivers are amazing – one way or another…
Last week the taxi I had just put my groceries into took off without me! As I stood gaping a second taxi cut cab #1 off at the pass.
Driver #2 jumped out of his cab – blocking not only cab #1 but also all the other traffic zooming up First Avenue.
“What the hell are you doing?” Number 2 roared at #1. I missed a lot of the following dialog since it was shouted in several different languages all mushed together.
The final, “You moron!” was loud and clear.
Cabbie #2 rescued my groceries and backed down First Avenue skidding to a stop in front of me and accepting the cheers of the small crowd that had gathered with a happy grin.
See what I mean?
Is this an amazing city or what?
