Video: Taxi driver Zhou Senlin

Another great production from Daedalum Films, this one directed by Arnaud Kamphuis:

There are over 45,000 taxi drivers in Shanghai. Zhou Senlin is one of them. Following him around the city, we learn more about a difficult profession many take for granted. Over his long shifts, Zhou tells us about his life as he observes and adapts to the metamorphosis of an entire city, bringing better opportunities for him and his family.

nice video. was wondering what it is like to be a taxi driver here. a lot of questions are answered in short nice portrait.

on a related note: i keep hearing people talk about they strongly prefer some taxi comps over others. any consensus on which colours (not) too take? i've been here for 2 months and only once or twice have there been some problems with detours or a very "fast" meter.
