I think it must be easier to become a doctor or a lawyer, no? <br /><br />However, for what Ive heard the cabbies are charging, they probably make as much money. But I guess you get what you pay for.Chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051954780090847748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-65095371360817394692012-05-22T09:50:12.348-04:002012-05-22T09:50:12.348-04:00Photo 8 in the UK shots looks similar to "Spa...Photo 8 in the UK shots looks similar to <a href="http://www.oldukphotos.com/graphics/England%20Photos/Warwickshire,%20Birmingham,%20Spaghetti%20Junction.jpg" rel="nofollow">"Spaghetti Junction"</a>, it would be an awesome Burnout track.

There's a Japanese show called Somewhere Street which involves a 1st Person camera tour of really up close city backstreets and alleys.<br /><br />Like you're astral projecting into a Japanese tourist. Just saw one in Kotor, Monetenegro. Very charming to watch.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xxe9xtylj06wuki" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com/?xxe9xtylj06wuki</a><br /><br /><i>Chronic said...<br /><br /> London is over 1000 years old, at least they have an excuse.<br /><br /> This area of NYC was actually PLANNED to be like this:<br /><br /> LOL QUEENS NY<br /><br /> May 16, 2012 11:46 PM</i><br /><br />What's worse in that 44th Ave/Drive/Road map is that the Ave and Street are the opposite one way directions to the lower ones.<br /><br />It goes:<br /><br /><b>47th Road --><br />47th Ave <--<br />46th Road --><br />46th Ave <--<br />45th Road --><br />45th Ave <--<br />44th Drive <--><br />44th Road <--<br />47th Ave --></b><br /><br />When you factor in the Underground system to that street layout, getting around London is a fine art to master. <br /><br />It takes an average of about 4 years for a Taxi driver to learn <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicabs_of_the_United_Kingdom" rel="nofollow">"The Knowledge"</a> (which they've been doing since 1865!)<br /><br />Taxis are there as a get out clause for anyone who gets hopelessly lost, just hail a Black Cab and you will be whisked back to a familiar place. <br /><br />It's a great city for walking around, you can take a quick bus/tube hop if you need to skip a bit but there's so much variety.umonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-24267136467721902692012-05-19T17:46:20.922-04:002012-05-19T17:46:20.922-04:00^that was awesome^that was awesomemdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-87145354137572968272012-05-18T23:33:57.189-04:002012-05-18T23:33:57.189-04:00Heres a pretty cool video of Japan along the simil...Heres a pretty cool video of Japan along the similar theme.
