I was like telling the others we should
just get off the cab and fetch another one instead... BUT... Being
a NICE guy he was... He actually allowed the cab to move away from
the taxi stand.. PARKED and started to look into his
directory...
After a while.. The driver told us he think he knows where it is...
Comes to the cross-junction, where I pointed to him the place we're
interested to go... He SAID OK. End up bring us along the road and
EXIST to HIGHWAY.. He can actually tell us that that's the CORRECT
ROUTE but he didn't know it's a HIGHWAY ahead... When I questioned
him how come he didn't know when he was looking at the road
directory.. His answer was "It's not stated on the ROAD DIRECTORY"

ONE BIG TURN.... BACK to the SAME JUNCTION... I POINTED to him
AGAIN the PLACE we wanted to go... He WENT into the OPPOSITE
DIRECTION and TOLD US... Let's see if we can find the place you're
looking for at the OTHER side.... A whole stretch up... Turned into
an unrelated area... STOPPED. LOOKED at DIRDCTORY AGAIN.....
THEN 3RD TIME... BACK at the SAME JUNCTION... Went to the LAST
OPTION. Then brought us where we wanna go... $9plus close to $10
for such a short journey... Not to mention WASTE of our
time...
When one of us asked him like that how much... He still have the
GUTS to say "Pay by the METER". [b]IDIOT. Then we looked
at him and told him off because he OBVIOUSLY ANYHOW BROUGHT US
AROUND. Then he said "Petrol expensive nowadays".
I think if he find living so difficult nowadays, the least he could
have done is to be HONEST and secure his RICE BOWL. BE GLAD that we
had a gentleman (not me) on the cab. If it was ME, I would have
ALREADY CALLED HIS COMPANY TO COMPLAIN....[/b]
