Due to danger and size, I've been taking a lot of taxis in Lima. Generally, they are memorable trips. A couple of the winners:
1. I was in a rush to reach the bus terminal, and hopped into a taxi pretty rapidly. Once I arrived, the driver stepped out to help me with my bag. Only then did I realize he only had one arm-- incredible.
2. On Sunday night, a cabby and I struck up a conversation as he brought me back to my hostel. As the conversation for some reason lingered on inflation, he decided to teach me the difference between fake and real soles. He pulled out coins and bills, and asked me to guess which were valid. Then he concluded that I was easy to con.
3. A very friendly taxista attempted to convert me to Evangelism during a thankfully short ride to the center of the city. He even had a bible ready, had I displayed interest.
