A Singapore taxi driver has started a blog. No big deal, you might say. But he's a college graduate, from Stanford in California just south of San Francisco. So what? Times are tough, but he has a Phd from Stanford and some background in research, and still in Singapore he's reduced to driving a taxi. Where has this message gone wrong? Taxi Diary, his well named blog at Blogspot, is worth a look.
Probably the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of scientific accomplishments, I have been forced out of my research job at the height of my scientific career, and unable to find another one, for reasons I can only describe as something "uniquely Singapore". As a result, I am driving taxi to make a living and writing these real life stories just to make the dull job a little more interesting. I hope that these stories are interesting to you too.
