There's an NY version?

Kek i always have sort of awkward small talk with the taxi drivers. They always talk about soccer, and i don´t know anuthing about it. I can´t imagine it being something literary.

well, imagine this. you get in a taxi and say to the driver "the library, and step on it."

in new york the taxi drivers have graduate degrees and an interest in exploring fundamental human questions

source: i've never been there

I thought they were all immigrants who speak broken english.

I´ve been there but never rode one because taxis in the US are too expensive for me desu.

>>8813436
yeah, immigrants with graduate degrees

That´s actually quite sad to be honest.

A lot of countries have a different view on education. Like a lot of westerners (read Americans) scoff at the idea of garbage men being p educated, and a lot of that's because they don't like education really, they just like the greasy pole and social hierarchy shit.

I meant by sad is that, those immigrants, despite being educated, it couldn´t assure well being in their home countries, so they have to resort to a "lesser" job in another country, to provide for thmeselves or their family. That their degrees mean nothing becuase their home countries are not developed.

you'll just have to settle for cabkino

Where are you living that it is both referred to as "soccer" and the sport most commonly talked about?

I can't think of any place that would hold true in

Underrated authors thread?

I guess I'm the only one who's spoken to their cab driver about Friedrich Schiller?

Again, a lot of US taxi drivers are foreign and as such have no local affiliation to Handegg teams. The rest of the world loves football p much, but they of course speak in American when in America.

Do London carriage drivers count?
From Hell has a scene like that but he was more like a chauffeur than a cabbie

I´m from Ecuador where football (i guess i should call it that), as in many other latino countries, is almost a religion.
I call it soccer because i assume most anons here are american that would think of another sport if i say football. And since i´m not football fanatic, i don´t have any problem calling it soccer. Soccer is indeed the universal word for football.
