I went to Oslo for a meeting today, and when we were leaving we decided to take a cab to the airport. We got in the cab and the driver seemed nice. He started driving and had to slam on the brakes to avoid a car in front of him, and at that point I started to pay attention. I looked at him in the mirror and it looked like he was really struggling to stay awake. His eyes kept closing, his head kept jerking and he kept rubbing his eyes. Seeing the driver like that scared me, but my co-workers did not seem to notice. His driving was crazy and I thought maybe I was a bad passenger so I texted my co-workers and they started to pay attention too, and it wasn't just me. Our yelps and screams did not seem to make our driver any more awake though. When we were close to the airport he was like an inch away from hitting another car. Man was I happy when that ride was over. Next time I will request a driver that can stay awake.
At least we got to the airport with enough time for me to visit the bookstore before we boarded. I love that bookstore. They have American magazines and books, I will probably have to eat noodles for a month, but it was worth it.
