I clearly had no answer when Richard had asked why I didn’t suggest some other date and so I just laughed. He jokingly called me a little bitch, I played it cool and everyone resumed to what they were doing .

As I sit in this taxi listening to a podcast about financial freedom, this guy keeps talking about certain aspects that suddenly get me thinking long term: big goals and life. I have always had plans but some plans planned me so am currently sticking to the possible ones in the meantime. Am seated next to a lady who must be a streetside vendor from my own observation. Unfortunately, she has been sleeping from the time the tax set off. She entered and said “hey” then rested her huge travel bag which supposedly had merchandise, on her lap, rested her veiled head on the bag and napped. However I saw her talking with the conductor. This is probably her usual taxi and so they call her when the taxi stop is due: intuitively thinking, am rarely wrong with these kinds of thoughts.

“Muziweleze” the conductor is asking for the fare. They are good at asking for it until you give them a big note and they don’t have chance yet you have reached your stop then they start flexing, looking for your balance. Anyway that’s their system am not about to start advocating for change about the whole damn thing, l will let them do their work and shall stick to being a good passenger. “Ssebo, wake up that hajati, tell her anatela okutuka” guy speaks loudly like he is addressing a public rally. I knew! This intuition thing is never wrong.
