That is true, though not strictly an argument. I merely rebuked her gently - but boy was she in a hurry!

That is true; I visited during the festive ceremony and a local invited me to have a drink and snacks with him by the lake. We were quite adventurous and snuck into the temple on the lake for a quick look.

Also true. Everyone said they were too full. Luckily, there were 2 other groups of people with only one person in each group who wanted to ride. I enjoyed the hell out of it anyway.

True. I gave him a photocopy of the first 5 workouts. He also wanted to keep in touch via email...

True. They were fellow tourists and took a liking to me. Luckily, their parents thought I was okay.

True. The other truck was driven by a guy without a license. Cops said it was lucky I didn't try to brake, and swerved instead, or else we could have turned turtle.

In my experience, Philly cashiers tend to be a fairly miserable lot.
