Duck and Chicken Talk

Wednesday, June 28, 2006

A driver we had on Tuesday was supposed to bring us shopping after work but he got lost. So he stopped by the road to wait for Steve to rescue us. In the meantime, the driver (D) and Ivan (V) entertained us.

D stopped the car where there was a man sitting by the road. V was afraid so he tried to ask D to move forward. Guess what? D doesn't understand English! So V made hand gestures to ask him to move in front. D turned on the wiper! V said no, no, no. Then D turned up the air-con. V said no, no, no. By this time, we were all having a good laugh. D opened the window (because we were playing with the window controls earlier). Then V suggested us to get off the car and signal to him to move forward. We asked him to do it and he said he didn't dare to! What a man.

When Steve finally arrived, Charlotte was so furious that she just ran to his car without saying anything. We all followed suit. It was like some triad movie where people didn't need to say anything to understand what to do.

Really an experience. Now we know how we should feel when we told our taxi story to everyone (wanna know what I'm talking about, ask me personally-not convenient to say here).
