Never Trust an Alcoholic Taxi Driver (we crashed...twice)

[@jf998]

Again I’m Burmese so I want to clear up what Dan said to you. When he was speaking to the camera around 6:25 and saying boyfriend, girlfriend. He thinks you’re filming your trip for your gf so he’s talking to the camera saying “hey I’m Dan. Nice to meet you. I really like your bf. He’s a nice guy (referring to you)”. He doesn’t know you’re filming for KZbin. He thinks you’re making videos to show your gf when you get home. 😉
