while i'm away i'll write home every day

i had the best cab driver ever yesterday in vancouver. we chatted for the whole twenty minute drive. i'm trying to figure out whether my favourite part of the conversation was when he declared that, "indian food tastes better in india" (and how i should visit goa) or, when searching for the hotel he pointed to the gps and said, "if this system fails, we always have this system" and hoisted up a paper map.

we also had discussions on the societal differences between rural bc and vancouver, and vancouver and india. also, it turns out his brother lived in my city, but drank too much, so his wife made him move to vancouver.

dude was awesome and hilarious. i tipped extra.
