As he gave his directions Sunny would mimic the street signs that he'd point out. We both kind ourselves snickering after I found myself yelling so that the old man could hear me. I had a few snacks in the car that I share with Sunny throughout the journey to our final destination.
Once we got there Sunny attempt to get out an assist but I told her not to. After the couple went into their homes she told me about how in her culture it was just customary for her to get out and help. She also told me that in Korea I would have been considered a rude person because I did not share nor offer my nuts to the older couple.
I told her that myself personally in America, in a cab none the less, its not my custom to share food with every patron I encounter. 1. I can't afford it. 2. I don't know where their hands have been and 3. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEIR HANDS HAVE BEEN! LOL! I told her some people are nasty. Granted these where old people but old people dig in all sorts of private places they need to scratch. Plus they just left the urologist. Who knows what went down there.
I told her that he might have had a catheter, with a urine bag, who wants to share food with someone whose hands are around easily accessible urine. LOL! Gross! After that statement of course I had to explain what a catheter was.
She understands that the culture is different. What some Americans may feel to be consider normal. As I recount this experience, this was one funny blog! I hope you guys read it! Cheers!
