Thai island

1000 something?

Tropical storm strikes on transfer from terminal to aircraft.

 Geometric.

Blue taxi-bus strip light.


Mountain forest pool. Tropical butterflies, humidity, tranquility.


 Fuel stop. Hand pump from the barrel.

 Handwritten gauge.

 Pebbles to count the liters.



 Gecko eating dragonfly.

 Metallic green Honda.

Green taxi-bus strip light.



 Ladyboy in transit.



Red taxi-bus strip light.



Skin nibbling fish.


 Tropical storm pushing in.



All fake. Not one fixed price.

Random Singapore

Taxis of Lisboa



Quartier Barro Alto doesn't gets started until past 11pm. Cobbled streets and tram tracks, restaurants, cafes, clubs. Stream of taxis ferrying people up the hill to the thrills.

Taxis of Beirut

Best and worst things about Beirut are the taxis. Always there, always horns beeping, some cool drivers and some absolute stronzi. The old Mercedes are classics and the best way to travel in the city. (Multi-coloured with decades of being panel replacement, old leather interiors and pre-headrest era seating. Roomy and the old drivers are usually the best craic.)

 Cream, olive green and matte black.  Great combo.

 Touting on the Gemmayze strip.

 Late night run to Monot Street. $10.

 Chillin' at a crossroads on Hamra.


Airport to the Corniche ride. $10 plus.

 Paddy gearing up to attempt the first sub-$10 ride.

I feel like I could write this book after traveling with Felice. Snapped in departures, Beirut airport.

Shmeisani


"Never pay more than 2JD for any journey in Amman." Fair enough advice, provided your know to first ask your cab driver to reset the meter before putting his foot on the gas.
