"His stress on the English word 'future,' indicated some level of education--perhaps, he was a student himself, with no choice but to drive for his meager meal of rice and watery lentil soup." students in america work their butt off too no? i don't know about others... but i did... 10 hrs a day of miserable work for less than 10 dollars an hour for my meager meal of ham burger and fries. and we always hear fun stories from ocean city every summer. working 15 hrs. a day eating same old shit everyday smoking pot and queuing up to bang polish and russian chicks ;) in a double bed apartment shared with 15 others. our taxi driver perhaps is not different. life is hard for poors all over the globe.
