科威特的的士司机

有时，生活可以很苦；尤其是一个人在外地找钱的！

在科威特最痛苦的是，找的士！因为司机们都听不懂你的英文！却在这时候，往往可以了解到他们的心声~ 每天搭乘着不同的的士，每天都听到不同司机的故事~ This makes my day, sometimes!

There're two places with similar names in Kuwait, Salmiya and Shamiya. Today's driver wanted to make sure if I am going to Salmiya, he started the talk! (He's not a good driver though, he speeds >_<)! You can always tell how deprived they are to tell you their stories! They couldn't speak English, not even a short sentence; but they tried so HARD to find the vocabulary from their English vocab store, mix and match into a sentence with their own mother-tongue.

"Salmiya, xxx parking xxx, no in xxxxx, xxx xxx, (he use body language to show me that he turned his car), xxxx, money give xxxx"

Then, I
"O..O..O... REALLY?? (Surprised!) Ha ~ "

Then, he was so sad until he wanted to cry!

Then I said:"How much?"

"2.5 KD" (But his face was showing me like he lost 200 KD)

Then, I asked:"Where are you from, Bangladesh?"(As I know, most of the taxi drivers are from India or Bangladesh)

He said: "Bangladesh"

Then he ended up his story with "Bad people xxxx Kuwait xxx, xxx (I understand the sentence as：There are many bad people in Kuwait, BE CAREFUL)"

Oh~ May GOD bless you!
