Taxi Driver Strike in Dongguan

Apparently, there was a tax driver’s strike in Dongguan yesterday.

All the taxi drivers were protesting against the increasing cost of living in Dongguan city. Prices for food, water and electricity were going up.

I’m not sure what they are protesting about, since none of them have ever bothered to use the meter (at least while I was in their cabs). Seems to me like the flat rate for a ride anywhere is set at RMB10.

Anyway, there were no taxis to be found in Chang An yesterday, which was really rather good because taxi drivers have terrible road manners. Also, since there were no taxi’s, all the whores had to walk whilst all dolled-up and dressed-to-the-nines to their respective nightclubs. Now that was some eye-candy!
