Streetcars and the Case of the Confuzzled Girl
I was on the streetcar today...it was on Spadina, driving through China Town. So the streetcar driver starts singing something like this into the mic/PA system, so all the passengers could hear:
"China Town. The best place to go...
to buy rice and fish
Is anyone here cooking?"
WHAT DID HE JUST SAY? I was beyond puzzled. It wasn't that the man had a displeasing voice...the most disturbing thing about the situation was that the driver was clearly Arab. I have to admit though, I laughed.
But honestly, can't I ride the TTC in peace? Of course, there are those times where the bus driver decides to park the bus in the middle of the route and walk into Tim Hortons to get a coffee. Now that is truly annoying.
Random fact: Did you know that streetcar drivers make $50,000. (And that's STARTING salary). Should I just quit school and aim to be a streetcar driver?!

Dear Asmaa,
Your post is lame.
Best wishes,

hey, i know that guy you were referring to.
Very sweet guy, mashaAllah (the streetcar driver that is.) Once we were approaching Church street and he said, "Church, not only on Sundays, Church street"
I was laughing so hard. Everybody else was busy tryin to figure out what he meant, including a friend of mine.
50geez... i dont know man, its a really boring job. And all those Asmaas you'd be driving, don't quit your day jobs ppl.
hahaha
I know that driver, he is actually really funny!
