I love the numbers especially too many taxis, buses, etc to count. I get that one! It’s been fun tagging along via this space. Can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store for you!
Ha ha! Right? Can’t even try to keep track of taxis and city modes of transport. 2018 will be big changes (again) for sure! Happy new year partner 🙂
