YOU stay in high-class ritzy hotels. I stay in low-bottom economy hotels. YOU ride with a somewhat dubious shuttle driver and I pay for a good taxi. Go figure this out. Smiles Again ..

It seems to be pushing the envelope to do what you did (and yes, you got-away-with-it ). While in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia I myself got into an automobile with two total strangers but this is common there for Uber-type services. I was wet and cold and it was beginning to rain and it was also late at night so I was between a rock and a hard spot with bus service being shut down for the night. So like you, I too got away-with-it.

You were smart to be thinking along those lines but unfortunate that the world is full of danger. Phew, I'm so relieved your driver was on the up and up.<br />This post is suspenseful although I know you arrived safely back home.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126759398412711312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029159028015312900.post-37989901781699160842017-02-28T14:30:40.960-09:002017-02-28T14:30:40.960-09:00Yep, though I just blithely stumble along, believi...Yep, though I just blithely stumble along, believing in the innate goodness of people.Gulliblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757448241656853571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029159028015312900.post-895347387382475632017-02-28T12:12:35.948-09:002017-02-28T12:12:35.948-09:00I hate that I've had to lose that trust I had ...I hate that I've had to lose that trust I had growing up....I hate living behind locks.
