This taxi trip, however, was different from all the previous rides ive had before. When I entered the cab, I was overwelmed by a media/entertainment and advertising frenzy. They have started to install a 4" LCD tv monitor in the back of the passenger seat head rest with its own variable speaker system. How cool, The only place I have seen this is on MTV's Pimp My Ride. Shenzhen has just started to pimp their taxis. Let's analyze.
- Profits for the taxi company would go up with the added revenue for advertising. This is actually surprising that taxis in other chinese cities, and even in cities all over the world have not added these on.
- Taxi drivers will be annoyed as hell since they have to put up with the 3-looping commericals that dont stop.
- Passengers could get entertainment while waiting in the frequent Shenzhen traffic jams.
- Tourists could be given a lot of good information about what's going on in the city.
- People who have motion sickness (like me) will have a harder time preventing nausea.
Keep an eye out for them.

thanks for the encouragement. i've been lazy, lazy, and havent had the motivation to write about things lately. I have a list of 30 things i want to post, but the problem seems to be more of "perfection-ism" where i want to be able to put time and effort into these mini-essays, spend the time to think and revise (time i dont have) and have something decent.
We'll see. I'm coming back.
Would like to subscribe, but . . . Why is there an RSS feed for comments, but not for posts?
Some cabs in Beijing have that too...
that's the thing. This is such a good idea, it should be just about every cab in the world.
You can have different programing during the day for travelers, weather, stocks and finance, events, shows, ect.ect. there are a lot of possibilities.
what an interesting concept! still, i feel like one of the best ways to see a new city is to personally observe it, via foot or cab or whatever, and learning from a tv screen just isnt the same. isnt there also the possibility of tourists being distracted by the LCDs, allowing cab drivers to circle the block an extra couple times?
Yea, it will be a thing a beauty. On my cab ride from the train station to my office in Norwood, MA, i was just scammed even without a LCD distracting me!
haha.
You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren't afraid to say how they believe. All the time follow your heart.
