Papa Ces

Nhil and I attended the recent Coca-Cola Bloggers Party at Taste Asia at the Mall of Asia (too many Asias!). We didn't finish the event because we have to go someplace else so we queued at the taxi lane. The line of passengers was considerably long and after quite a bit of waiting, we finally got our turn at the front. Then a foreigner, I think he's Greek or someone from that region, approached me.

Greek Guy: "Excuse me, how can I get to the airport?"

Me: "Just take a taxi."

Greek Guy: "Ok. Thank you."

Then just that, he opened the door of the taxi I was about to board. He went inside the car and the taxi sped off. I was left dumbfounded. When I turned around all the people behind me had the same look on their faces.

They couldn't believe the Greek guy cheated all of us!

I couldn't believe he stole my cab!

Funny thing was, although I should have felt angry, the truth is that I wasn't. I smiled at the people behind me and said out loud, "Well, let's just be kind to tourists."

They smiled back.
