Every morning I take a shuttle bus to work. It picks people up at the metro station and delivers us to the compound where we work. There are two different drivers that deliver us to our place of employment. One is an older man who wears a different baseball cap almost everyday (I think he’s bald underneath). Then the second one is a younger guy (maybe 40 something) whom until recently always wore a typical driving uniform: blazer, white gloves, and loafer shoes.

But for the last few days’ things have been different. This shuttle bus driver of which I just spoke had dumped his old uniform for some “younger, hipper” clothes. I say that pretty liberally because they were much hipper and younger in 1984 when Tom Cruise rocked them.

Mr. bus driver has started rocking a jean jacket with the collar popped, khaki pants and his typical loafers with no socks. He’s also started playing the radio through out the bus. But not just any radio, “China’s International Radio Station, playing all of the current world hits.” Which include Britney Spears’ Hit Baby One More Time, that Apple Bottom Jeans Song, and my personal favorite Pink’s “Let’s Get The Party Started!”

Obviously they are super current!

Needless to say I don’t know what’s up with Mr. bus driver man but he’s rockin the 1984!
