From earlier this week: took an ride with the happiest hippie taxi driver in NYC. He immigrated here from Korea, has been in the city for about thirty years, and gave me a history lesson on the Irish (which I wasn’t sure was accurate but enjoyed anyway).

His tricked-out cab displayed just a few of the things he’s passionate about, including the following: puppies, MJ, various flora, James Dean, Elvis, Verne Troyer, more puppies and Bob Marley. The two Wendy’s plastic cups cracked me up, especially the one filled with office supplies - maybe he likes to do a little arts and crafts during red lights?

Before I got out, he made sure to tell me I have a pleasant aura which is sure to get me lots of jobs, and he’s glad I was raised right and am not a “crazy American girl.” Whatever that means.

Gawd, it’s things like this that make my heart overflow with love for New York.
