For the most part, riding in a taxi is merely a life threatening experience.
But i can honestly say that there was this one...it was more than a cut above the rest.
This typically (busan) grey taxi had a rather unassuming exterior. Even when looking through the window it was innocent enough, but once you sat down and took the interior in, it was enough to take your breathe in quickly and scream out "DISCO INFERNO!!!"
First off, every slightly hidden surface (under car seats, behind car seats, the back side of the steering wheel, under the dash, around the hand brake) was trimmed with blue trim lights. There were no cute tumbly-springed fellows on the dash board but there was a fantastic poster of a liquor bottle with a half naked woman sprawled out in front of the passenger seat.
The windows, slightly tinted, were trimmed with faux gold and, what could best be described as "disco stars". The windshield and the entire roof of the car, also was bedecked with a long string of those (dam i've never known that word) puff balls hanging from a piece of yarn. They dangled and bounced as the taxi driver bounced (literally bounced) in his seat while driving.
And of course, it was difficult to sit still while his music was pumping through his speakers. His music was, almost "adjectivelessly" incomparable. It was a form of techno that some how "mmmmmm"ed even deeper and "ssssssst" even higher than most.
Both the best and worst techno i've ever heard.
This was less a taxi and more a koeran dance club on wheels.
Has anyone else had the pleasure of riding around in an overly tricked out cab? I think they're fun and kinda wish other drivers made their taxis more personal... |
