We didn’t want to bother our counterpart to send a car to drive us around after hours. But we want to explore the city. And not on foot this round. It’s just too humid to do it in May. Cabs are surprisingly scarce for a city with so many tourist arrivals.
The hotel has cabs stopping by for us to go to town in the evenings. But later, it does get a bit painful waiting for a cab to take us back to the hotel. Unless we lurk around the casinos where cabs are plentiful. And that’s the last place we want to be at.
We met a cab driver the other evening. What luck! We arranged with him to pick us up after dinner as well as transport for the next few evenings. Woot!!! He could have just not showed up at all. But he did. He was absolutely polite. We thanked him profusely. Gave him a bigger tip in a show of appreciation for all the help. Surprisingly, he actually tried to return the extra to us. He’s made this trip absolutely memorable.

lucky u! and what a great arrangement. cab drivers can be the last nice surprise in cheena land. we found the same experience abt not being able to get cab back to hotel. cheena passengers are faster and more aggressive than us wimpy singaporeans when grabbing a passing cab:)they actually jump in before cab passengers alight!
Wow..!! nice..! hard to find good ppl like that.. these days.. :)
