Brakes.<\/p>\n

I feel nauseous more times than I don\u2019t when in a taxi. Perhaps, it is due to some inherent desire to harmonize the yin-yang that drivers seemingly drive with both feet, alternating in rapid succession between brake and accelerator. I guess i just prefer either-or driving to a both-and approach. My stomach is not so culturally tolerant as if crosses back and forth, front to back again with each stroke of the left peddle.<\/p>\n

We have both national and foreign friends attempt the drivers license test. Success or failure is measured by the speed by which you parallel park a fee in your teachers wallet.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>At this very second, my taxi just failed in his attempt to squeeze into a narrow gated bicycle lane.<\/p>\n

Ooh, I feel sick.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
