moto taxi in cartagena

so there i was, heading to el centro de cartagena from bocagrande on the back of a moto taxi.
I was tempted to wrap my arms around that corroncho modefoques for safety, felt like i was about to fall on my ass but then i noticed nobody doing it.
I told my cartagenera and she nearly pissed on herself laughing. You NEVER wrap your arms around another guy, unless you want that modefoque to throw you off the moto and kick your ass.
anyways, moto taxi, is the best way to go. a lot cheaper and faster than a taxi.
i got into this method of transportation after i saw this barranquillero boxer (fighting this month in las vegas for the championship) and staying in the same hotel in curramba come back from training behind a moto taxi. this modefoque is problably makin half million USA bucks per fight and wearing a 10 thousand dollar chain, but he had no problem still doing chit he did when he had no money.
I bet he still eats other peoples left over.

I used to like the moto-taxis cause I found them much more gracious than the taxistas. I almost never had a problem paying the correct fare with the moto guys.

Moto taxi is the quickest way to travel in peak hour traffic, that's for sure.

You are so much more vulnerable, though. Notice those guys in the street with a stump where their arm used to be, or hopping on crutches. Those are probably moto taxi accidents.

I used to take moto-taxis all the time. Now I prefer to drive, and feel lucky that I survived those moto experiences.

que nota!
