Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

Malaysian Taxi Drivers

Oh my goodness, I think I may need to take a moment and thank whomever above who is keeping an eye out for me...as every time I get into a cab, I think, "this is it,this is the end." My heart pounds, I break into sweats, I mentally say my farewells to my beloveds...and by some miracle I manage to arrive at my destination safe and unscathed.

Malaysian Taxi Drivers might possibly by Asia's worst drivers. I have yet to get into a cab where the driver hasn't spent at least 55% of the time on the opposite side of the road, (attempting to overpass cars, meanwhile playing chicken with the oncoming traffic)... It is insanity...sure the rides are cheap...but holy cow, I was in a cab 2 days ago,in the middle of nowhere, with no one around...and the driver still managed to drive on the wrong side of the road...YIKES!!!

I'm going to try my luck with the trishaw drivers tonight...maybe they will be safer (considering they are riding on bicycles,I hope that is the case.)
