Well Once again home safe and sound, thanks due entirely to the wonderful 'Taxi Drivers' round here.
They are specialists in traffic evasion (Any Japanese readers will be envious of the number of succesful suicide missions they achieve every day!) Aim and pray is no flippant remark at all, The target is to get you from 'A' to 'B' asap and if it involves 'Z' on the way, this is not a problem to them.
Take todays journey for example... We set out to buy a few bits at the market + 6 dozen eggs for fantastic xmas dishes, cakes etc and for 'real home made mayo', the only eggs at this location would have been a credit to a 'Partridge' and an insult to a 'Chicken'.
So we picked a 'Taxi' of our choice from a rank (an option most nations cannot exercise) and clambered in, stated our destination and sat back. Minutes later we arrived a few kilometres away at another market, seemingly before we had left, clambered out and paid the driver his fee (£1.25).
During this journey we encountered umpteen 'could be' drivers, most likely those with 'cereal pkt licenses' and not a mark on us or the 'Taxi' that seemed at times to be on its side, avoiding the suicide jockeys around us.
Respect and credit to them, we arrived safely, not even shaken or stirred. Thankyou Mr Taxi driver, this blogger has lived to 'Blog' again!
The eggs we got at the second market by the way, would have been a 'credit' to an 'Emu'
A, B, Catch you later dear reader.
