Only in Bangkok...

so today I got in a taxi at my apartment.  I was already running late.  I got in the taxi at 2 pm and my class started at 2 pm.  I've really caught onto this Thai Time thing.  Fortunately, you can be 15 minutes late to class and still be considered "on time."  And, ya know, I like to optimize my Class-to-Leisure ratio.  Anyways, back to the point - I get in the taxi and I'm stressing because even with Thai Time, I don't like to be late.  We make it about halfway down the driveway and the driver starts saying something in Thai.  I didn't realize what he was saying until after the fact.  He threw the car into park and hopped out.  You can imagine I was not very pleased.  I start looking around for some clue as to what was going on.  And I found my clue...

In broad daylight, up against one lonely tree in a concrete jungle...  my driving was peeing.  Yes, peeing.  I guess when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

Twenty seconds later, I was on my way to school.  And yes, I was "on time."
