Tonight's tuk tuk


The tuk tuk driver I just had asked, as always, if I wanted a tuk tuk tomorrow to visit the temples. I politely declined saying, "Sorry, no temples tomorrow; I'm a volunteer." He said,"Oh teacher?" as most volunteers are teachers. When I said, "No, I help to make water filters." He excitedly said, "Oh! You help to bring the water to the countryside?" Excited that he understood what I meant, as many don't, I said "Yes!" He replied, "Oh, very thank you for your kind (kindness)!" And to you Mr. Tuk Tuk Man, I say: Thank you for your appreciation & for restoring my faith in tuk tuk guys - you're not all pushy salespeople harassing passersby for rides, some of you are genuinely great people :)
