Culture clash

This morning there were three of us in business suits standing in front of the hotel trying to find a taxi to the central bank. Without our flagging him down, all of a sudden an ancient, bright-red minibus (Volkswagen van) with "Bob Marley" painted on the front swung a U-turn and asked where we wanted to go. I'm sure we were quite a sight climbing into this ramshackle van (plastered on the inside with Bob Marley posters) in our suits, but I have to say it was a lot of fun...
