Mingjie Cai wrote an incredibly touching post today, and I highly recommend everyone go and read it.
Every word. I was tearing up halfway through.

As for the blog itself, I’m a new follower, having found it via some random links, and thinking “A Taxi Driver’s Diary? This is kind of cool”.
Mingjie Cai is actually has a PhD from Stanford, and has now been forced by the Singaporean system to drive a taxi.
Probably the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of scientific accomplishments, I have been forced out of my research job at the height of my scientific career, and unable to find another one, for reasons I can only describe as something “uniquely Singapore”.
As a result, I am driving taxi to make a living and writing these real life stories just to make the dull job a little more interesting.
I hope that these stories are interesting to you too.
I am hooked.
Every post he writes is a piece of art.
I am reminded of the now-too-famous-for-me-to-read Waiter Rant before he became huge and stopped writing actual anecdotes.
